> The primary researcher behind the [Steele Dossier](https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/10/christopher-steele-the-russia-collusion-hoaxer-regrets-nothing/), a collection of unsubstantiated opposition research linking the 2016 Trump campaign to the Kremlin, was arrested by federal authorities Thursday.

> Russia analyst Igor Danchenko’s indictment stems from the federal probe led by [John Durham](https://www.nationalreview.com/news/durham-expected-to-indict-clinton-linked-attorney-involved-in-russia-probe/), the special counsel tapped by the Trump administration to audit the Russia investigation for malfeasance, anonymous individuals with direct knowledge of the matter told the _New York Times_.  
> …  
> In February, Durham issued a subpoena to collect documents associated with Danchenko’s former employment at the Brookings Institution, where he worked for five years. During this tenure, he faced a counterintelligence inquiry into whether he was a Russian agent.

So, the Democrats hired a foreign spy, who in turn hired a suspected Russian agent to collect dirt on a Presidential candidate using contacts in the Kremlin.

Isn’t this exactly the kind of stuff Democrats were accusing Trump of doing?
