re: Interesting: steele’s “Source” for dossier is a resident of New Orleans. Igor danchenko

Anybody know why his misdemeanor charges were being federally prosecuted? Wouldn't these typically be handled by local DA/court?

In March 2013 — three years before Danchenko began working on the dossier — federal authorities in Greenbelt, Md., arrested and charged him with several misdemeanors, including “drunk in public, disorderly conduct, and failure to have his [2-year-old] child in a safety seat,” according to a court filing. The U.S. prosecutor for Maryland at the time was Rosenstein, whose name appears in the docket filings.
