Strobe Talbott Steele claimed he had Russian sources for his dossier. It turned out his "source" was Igor Danchenko. Rather than being in Russia, Danchenko worked in Washington DC at the Brookings Institute. Years ago he was caught attempting espionage for Russia. Igor Danchenko was caught trying to buy classified info from a Brookings Institute analyst FBI dropped the case against Danchenko, falsely claiming he left the country. He stayed and went to work ... at the Brookings Institute!!! 15 years later, Danchenko is the main source for Steele's Trump dossier Danchenko admits to FBI that the dossier stories are bogus FBI hires Danchenko One individual questioned by the FBI explained she had recently interned at an intelligence agency and that afterward, Danchenko quizzed her on her “knowledge of a specific Russian military matter.” The former intelligence agency intern also revealed that Danchenko claimed his Russian passport listed him as GRU, which is the Russian military intelligence service. thefederalist.com So, why did Brookings hire this Russian spy? At the time, Brookings was run by Strobe Talbott. Talbott was suspected to be a Soviet asset: Allegations that Talbott had been used by the KGB during his journalistic career were briefly aired at his confirmation hearing in 1994 by Senator Jesse Helms, who was then ranking minority member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Helms said that Talbott owed his journalistic career at Time magazine to a suspected KGB agent of influence named Victor Louis. Citing U.S. intelligence reports and statements by KGB defectors, Helms asserted that Louis was responsible for leaking the memoirs of former Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev to Talbott in 1969 and for assisting Talbott at critical moments later in his career with inside Kremlin information. apnews.com iran.org Tom
