John Durham has very much not exonerated Donald Trump from having shady dealings with Russia. But he has underlined that the most lurid allegations were, at best, unsubstantiated rumour
That seems less and less likely. On November 4th John Durham, the special counsel for the Department of Justice, who was appointed by William Barr in 2019 to investigate theinvestigation into Mr Trump’s supposed links with Russia, indicted Igor Danchenko, a Russian national and professional Russia expert based in America. Mr Danchenko is alleged to have lied about how he collected information for the Steele dossier .
In reality, the conspiracy is not so deep. An earlier investigation by Michael Horowitz, the Inspector-General of the Department of Justice, revealed many of the shortcomings of the Steele dossier. But it also showed that it was not what sparked the’s investigation into the former president’s Russian links. A tip-off from the Australian government in July 2016 did that.
So Mr Durham has very much not exonerated Mr Trump from having shady dealings with Russia. But he has underlined that the most lurid allegations were, at best, unsubstantiated rumour. That is embarrassing to theBut it is also damning of many journalists and Democrats. The Steele dossier was presented by many in the more left-leaning media as a highly credible investigation by a highly respected British former spook, involving “deep cover sources inside Russia” .
What happens next? Mr Durham’s investigation has been going on for over two years and, so far, has produced only three indictments: as well as Mr Danchenko, there is Michael Sussmann, a cyber-security lawyer also alleged to have made false statements to thelawyer who has admitted altering a document to strengthen a wiretap request. There may well be more.
