"On 4
November, US Special Counsel John
Durham's investigation indicted a
Russia-born analyst instrumental in
concocting parts of the notorious Steele
Dossier. The latter allowed the FBI to
obtain a surveillance warrant on a Trump
aide in 2016.
A former Hillary Clinton aide might
be at the epicentre of an indictment
filed on Thursday by the Durham
investigation
against Igor Danchenko, one of the
analysts behind the infamous Steele
Dossier. The indictment repeatedly
refers to "PR-Executive 1" as one of the
main sources for the dossier's
allegations, coined by Danchenko,
without explicitly naming the person.
However, the The New York Times
identified the person as Charles Dolan
Jr., whose career description matched
that of "PR-Executive 1" as per the
indictment's text.
Dolan was a senior strategist at the
PR firm Kglobal, when he was first
contacted by Danchenko, who was seeking
a "potential business collaboration" for
his "project against Trump". At the same
time, Dolan served as an adviser for
Hillary Clinton, Trump's opponent in the
2016 elections, and during her
unsuccessful bid to become the
Democratic presidential candidate in
2008.
Hillary Clinton's former aide, prior
to his work with Danchenko, had been
building up ties with Russia as he
handled "global public relations" for
Moscow and Russian energy giant Gazprom
during his tenure at the PR company
Ketchum, Durham's indictment shows. The
indictment further noted that some of
the people Dolan presumably worked with
in Russia later emerged in the Steele
Dossier, specifically the portions
believed to have been contributed by
Danchenko.
