Former Trump Official Kash Patel Says Durham Is Building Bigger Conspiracy Case

Kash Patel, the former senior Trump administration official who led the charge in exposing Russiagate, reacted to U.S. Attorney John Durham’s recent indictment of Russian Igor Danchenko. It indicates that a larger conspiracy case is being built.

“I think he’s building a bigger conspiracy case, and it’s just going to take time, and that’s where he’s going,” Patel told Breitbart News. “John Durham’s working hard. He’s only been at for two-plus years. When I was a federal prosecutor, I spent 3, 4, 5 years building some prosecutions, so it takes time, but I think we are heading in the right direction.”

This came one week after the indictment of Igor Danchenko, a Russian researcher who worked at the Brookings Institution in Washington and provided the most salacious lies for the infamous Christopher Steele dossier.

“[Christopher] Steele’s number one source … is indicted for lying to the FBI five times over, and he’s shown to be a total fraud and in bed with another Clinton ally that’s named in the indictment,” Patel said. “It shows, full circle, that John Durham is building conspiracy cases outlining the likes of Fusion GPS, Comey, McCabe, Jake Sullivan — all these people are in trouble, and finally, the American people are getting some accountability.”

Patel went on to say that the length of the indictment suggests there is a bigger conspiracy case.

“Thirty-nine pages just this week just to introduce Americans to all the characters we’re now talking about, and that’s how you speak publicly in a federal prosecutions is through an indictment,” he explained.

Though Patel does not see any chance of Hillary Clinton or James Comey being indicted, he added, “What I tell people is these three indictments are examples where he’s starting at the lower levels because you go and charge those guys, and then they flip. They don’t want to go to prison, and then they flip up, as we say, and they get the bigger fish, and then you start heading up towards the Lisa Pages and Peter Strzoks and possibly even Fiona Hill.”

“Remember, Fiona Hill has now been shown to be the individual who worked in the Trump administration but who hired Igor Danchenko as a research assistant and introduced him to Christopher Steele, so I’m calling for John Durham to investigate her and put her on a grand jury, and that’s how you get to the bigger fish, and I think that’s what he’s doing because he’s outlying detailed indictments,” Patel concluded.

It will undoubtedly be interesting to see how this all plays out.
