Among the key takeaways from the Durham investigation: The Durham investigation has seemingly uncovered a coordinated effort by Hillary for America; the Perkins Coie law firm (a Washington, D.C.-based law firm that was retained by Hillary for America to represent the campaign during the 2016 election); strategic intelligence firm Fusion GPS; former British spy Christopher Steele of Orbis Business Intelligence; and various computer researchers based in Virginia, Rhode Island, and at Georgia Tech to generate false, misleading, and sometimes sensational allegations against then-candidate Donald Trump in an effort to win the 2016 presidential election. We are unable to respond to your request while this matter is being litigated. The entire mistrust which the two races have thus learned to conceive of each other's intentions, induces them to put the worst construction on the most innocent conduct; to judge every word, every act, and every intention unfairly; to attribute the most odious designs, and reject every overture of kindness or fairness, as covering secret designs of treachery and malignity.

The second major component of Hillary for Americas disinformation campaign was its effort to smear then-candidate Trump with a false allegation that the Trump organization had a secret channel of communication with Alfa-Bank, the largest private bank in Russia. The two Canadas were subsequently merged into a single colony, the Province of Canada, in the 1840 Act of Union. Hillary for Americas disinformation efforts consisted of two main components: (1) creating and disseminating the so-called Steele Dossier that falsely alleged, inter alia, the existence of an extensive conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin;REF and (2) concocting false allegations regarding a secret computer communications link between the Trump organization and Alfa-Bank, Russias largest private commercial bank. 0000090558 00000 n It moved Canada slowly on the path to "responsible government" (that is, self-government), which took a decade.

Indictments filed by Durham show that the Steele Dossier and Alfa-Bank allegations of a conspiracy between Trump and the Kremlin were entirely concocted. Indeed, from 1791 to the rebellions, the elected representatives of Lower Canada had been demanding control over the budget of the colony. According to Durham, the core allegation of the Steele Dossierthat an extensive conspiracy existed between the Trump campaign and the Kremlinwas invented out of whole cloth by former Brookings Institution policy analyst Igor Danchenko, a Russian national on Steeles payroll. In an August 2016 e-mail to Lorenzen, Dagon, and Antonakakis, Joffe stated that the data was not a secret communications channel between the Trump organization and Alfa-Bank, but rather was a red herring.REF. .

During his stay, Dolan received a tour of the presidential suite and met with the hotels general manager and other staff.REF Dolan was told during the hotel tour that Trump had once stayed as a guest in the presidential suite.REF Importantly, the staff member who provided the tour to Dolan did not mention any lewd or salacious activity by Trump during his stay in the presidential suite.REF, Danchenko had lunch with Dolan at some point during the June 2016 trip to Moscow.REF During interviews with the FBI, Danchenko claimed to have collected information concerning Trumps purported activities at the [Ritz-Carlton] from various sources, such as the hotels general manager and other staff.REF, It is unclear from Danchenkos indictment whether he actually heard about salacious information regarding Trump from Dolan, from Ritz-Carlton staff, or whether Danchenko simply embellished the information to appear valuable to Steele.

Durhams investigation has revealed that senior members of Hillary for Americacampaign manager Robbie Mook, communications director Jennifer Palmieri, and foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan (who currently serves as President Joe Bidens National Security Advisor)were briefed on aspects of the disinformation scheme aimed at discrediting then-candidate Trump.REF Hillary for America, as well as the Democratic National Committee (DNC), spent more than $1 million to fund the disinformation campaign, then used the fruits of that campaign to calumniate candidate Trump.
