Trifecta of asshats

Here’s a bit of good news for your Tuesday.

Igor Danchenko, a source for the Steele Dossier, was just acquitted by a jury today.

From the Washington Post a few moments ago:

A jury on Tuesday found Igor Danchenko — a private researcher who was a primary source for a 2016 dossier of allegations about former president Donald Trump’s ties to Russia — not guilty of lying to the FBI about where he got his information. The verdict in federal court in Alexandria, Va., is another blow for special counsel John Durham, who has now lost both cases that have gone to trial as part of his nearly 3½-year investigation. Durham, who was asked by Attorney General William P. Barr in 2019 to review the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016, is sure to face renewed pressure to wrap up his work following the verdict. … The jury in Danchenko’s case deliberated for about nine hours over two days.

I tried to find out how much of OUR (taxpayer) MONEY this fucker has burned up — but the only info I could find (with an admitted only cursory search) is from a year ago and is at just under $4 million.

That is $4 million TOO MUCH for a “witch hunt” that we were “gifted” by outgoing reputation rehab attempt artist William Barr(f).

I wish Garland would shut his shit the F down! He now has to his credit 2 failed prosecutions — more than enough proof to warrant this being a waste of time and taxpayer money.

One of his grand juries (Alexandria, VA) is apparently now inactive. The status of the other one (D.C.) is not clear.

Here is the full article (I presume it is behind a paywall — I have a subscription and am always signed in on my computer so I don't know which articles are free vs paywalled.
