Aaron Maté is back to give an update on Russiagate as the years-long conspiracy theory continues to fall completely apart. Maté fills us in on the indictment of Igor Danchenko, who was a major source for the Steele Dossier. Danchenko’s claims were just about all fiction. However, he made the mistake of lying to the FBI about some of the more embarrassing ways information made its way into the dossier. Scott and Maté talk about the details of what happened and observe how the conspiracy theorists in the corporate media are handling the news. 

Discussed on the show:

“Russiagate has no rock bottom” (Maté’s Substack)
Fear by Bob Woodward
Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes
