The trial of Igor Danchenko is scheduled for October 11, 2022. While it is only a false statement case, we can't help but ask whether the trial will reveal any Danchenko contacts with the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign while he was acting as Christopher Steele's primary subsource.

The reason for that question? More on that below.

First we start with the background. As you might recall, Danchenko was used by Steele as he conducted opposition research on Trump and his associates. Steele's dossier (also called "Company Reports") eventually made it into the hands of federal officials and the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who used it to prepare and submit applications for warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to spy on Carter Page (and to collect the communications of the Trump campaign).  

As Special Counsel John Durham alleged in the Danchenko indictment:

"Each of the FISA applications set forth the FBI's assessment that Page was a knowing agent of Russia and further alleged – based on the Company Reports – that Page was part of a "well-coordinated conspiracy of co-operation" between Trump's campaign and the Russian government."1
