Durham Update: Two Lower-Level FBI Officials Wanted To Investigate Russia-Connected Democrat Operative But Were Blocked By Superiors

The FBI knew the Trump-Russia allegations were a complete hoax before Robert Mueller was ever appointed Special Counsel.

The Mueller investigation, under the direction of Andrew Weissmann, included only far-left FBI operatives intent on removing Trump from office. There were some lower-level operatives who involved in the case who still had a conscience.

Lower-level FBI analyst Brittany Herzog and FBI supervisory special agent Amy Anderson — two FBI officials who served on Robert Mueller’s team — testified they wanted to investigate Charles Dolan, a longtime Democrat operative, over his ties to Russia and the Steele Dossier.

According to the testimony from the officials, Dolan had ties to Olga Galkina – who was a sub-source for the Steele Dossier and Dolan also did work for a PR agency that did a PR campaign for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Dolan also had a relationship with Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source of the dossier.

Hertzog mentioned overseeing Russian propaganda and disinformation campaigns. She spoke of Dolan and Galkina’s business relationship, and noted that Galkina was a sub source for the Steele dossier.

They said they were told “not to take further action” by their superiors.

Further testimony from Herzog said – “I wanted to interview Dolan, his connectivity to sources and Russian government officials…Some others in the FBI didn’t want to investigate.”

Herzog said that to her knowledge Dolan was never interviewed by anyone on the special counsel team.

Fox News reported:

Two FBI officials testified on Friday that while detailed to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, they sought to investigate longtime Democratic operative Charles Dolan for his connections to Russia — specifically to Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary for Russian President Vladimir Putin — but were “instructed not to take further action” by their superiors.

FBI analyst Brittany Herzog and FBI supervisory special agent Amy Anderson, who both served on Mueller’s team, testified during the trial of Igor Danchenko Friday that they pressed for further investigation into Dolan and his ties to the Kremlin and pressed higher-ups on Mueller’s team to allow them to interview him.

…

“The Danchenko-Dolan connection was important because of Dolan’s connectivity with Peskov,” Herzog testified. “I wanted to interview Dolan, his connectivity to sources and Russian government officials.”

“Some others in the FBI didn’t want to investigate,” Herzog testified. “To the best of my knowledge, no one from the special counsel team interviewed Dolan.”

Anderson said she wrote a memo calling for more of an investigation into Dolan but the memo sat for weeks.

She then testified “I was told it was not going to be opened.”

Was the Mueller team a coverup?

11 dead in ‘terrorist act’ at Russian training range near Ukraine – MoD

Two suspects have been killed on the spot with retaliation fire, officials report

At least 11 people have been killed and 15 injured in an attack on a training range in Russia's Belgorod Region, which borders Ukraine, the Defense Ministry said on Saturday. The incident was a “terrorist act,” it added.

Two suspects have been killed on the spot in retaliatory fire, the ministry explained. Officials further explained that they have been identified as “citizens of a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).”

The CIS includes most former Soviet republics, except for the Baltic States, Ukraine, Georgia and Turkmenistan. The latter is an associate member of the organization.

The Russian military has not provided any further details about the incident or the identities of the assailants.

According to RIA Novosti, the two attackers opened fire at a group of volunteer fighters during training at a firing range. The Defense Ministry has yet to confirm this information.

Saturday's news comes amid a partial mobilization in Russia, declared as the nation is locked in a protracted conflict with Ukraine. Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that over 200,000 reservists had been called to arms as part of the process, with most of them still undergoing training.

Russian authorities have also declared last week's truck explosion on the Crimean Bridge a terrorist act. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) accused Ukrainian military intelligence of masterminding the bombing, which killed at least four, including the truck driver, and led to a partial collapse of a highway section of the bridge.

Russia has identified 12 individuals as suspected accomplices in the plot and has arrested eight of them, the FSB said. The list of people in custody includes five Russians and three foreigners, who have citizenship of Ukraine and Armenia, law enforcement said at that time.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack on the training range.

Elon Musk Alarmed After Apparent Inclusion On Well-Known Ukrainian 'Kill List'

Elon Musk has publicly expressed alarm over his name and profile appearing to have been added to a well-known Ukrainian 'kill list', following controversy and outrage from Kiev over his prior "Russia-Ukraine peace poll" and subsequent threats to cut funding for Starlink satellite internet services deployed in the country.

On Friday, the billionaire SpaceX founder responded directly to a viral tweet by independent journalist Eva Bartlett which claimed "Musk added to Ukraine's Myrotvorets kill list (which includes 327 children!)," in which he asked her "is this list real?"
