Five years ago, a group of internet sleuths uncovered what remains the single biggest breakthrough in the Russiagate hoax: the identification of Igor Danchenko. Danchenko was the so-called “primary sub-source” behind the infamous Steele dossier, a Clinton campaign subcontractor whose fabrications formed the backbone of the fraudulent Trump-Russia collusion narrative. The FBI had buried his identity deep inside its classified files, hoping it would never come to light. But when it did, the entire hoax collapsed. From start to finish, it had all been made up.
That breakthrough didn’t happen in isolation. It rested on years of meticulous work by a broader community of independent researchers, writers, and investigators — all outside the corporate media, working without institutional backing or access to classified leaks. People like Mollie Hemingway, Margot Cleveland, and many others uncovered key pieces of the Russiagate puzzle while the legacy media actively worked to spread the hoax. //
Five years ago today, the Russiagate hoax was buried for good. The supposed Russian insider who fueled a national panic turned out to be a broke think tank wannabe saying whatever it took to get paid.
The entire scandal was a fiction stitched together by Clinton operatives, blessed by Obama himself, and weaponized by government agencies and their media allies. It wasn’t exposed by a Pulitzer-winning journalist or a congressional committee. It was exposed by a handful of internet researchers with day jobs.
And that’s the real story of Russiagate’s end.
