British ex-spy Christopher Steele shared more fake conspiracy theories with the FBI than just his infamous Steele dossier (with the pee story in it). At least three Steele assertions went to the Crossfire Hurricane team. Every single one of them was untrue.
Steele provided the FBI with the name of a Russian intelligence officer who was supposedly Carter Page's handler. If true, this would -- of course -- lend credence to another claim Steele made about bribes in return for relief from U.S. sanctions for Russia.
However, the FBI admitted to Horowitz that "Steele's allegations about the Russian national were investigated, but no information was uncovered to substantiate the allegations." Of course, we all know now that Page was actually a source for the CIA.
At another point in time, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson gave Justice Department official Bruce Ohr a thumb drive. On it was yet another dossier. This document, Horowitz's report summarizes, "recounted that a senior official in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had reported that a rumor was circulating that President-elect Trump’s delay in appointing a new Secretary of State was the result of an ‘intervention’ by Putin and the Kremlin, and that they had requested Trump appoint a ‘Russia-friendly’ figure who was prepared to lift sanctions against Russia."
This statement also could not be verified by the FBI.
And then there is the allegation that Trump received "illicit campaign cash from an Azerbaijani family... There is no hint of such payments in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report and his team’s two years’ worth of FBI investigating any links between Trump, his allies and Russia."
This information was given to Steele, not by a Russian source, but by "two longtime Hillary Clinton operatives and liberal former journalists, Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer."

Based on quotes in the documents that were released, someone numbered them...like chapters....beyond 100. Was this Steele’s numbering or was the dossier done in installments?
This puke Steele needs to be brought to Gitmo for a few decades.
Makes one wonder if Blumenthal and the other guy are persons of interest per Durham that Barr mentioned are being looked at.
Sidney Blumenthal is a massive POS!
Wasn’t there just news this week about millions in illegal campaign funds to Democrats?
To be honest, I am surprised that Steele is still breathing or has not just disappeared of the face of the earth, but yeah, I digress.....
If he is ever willing to talk, that’s when he didn’t kill himself.

he needs to be treated as an enemy spy interfering in our election start by waterboarding him....act of war?
Traitors foreign or domestic just need to be shot and left in the ditch to rot. He is one of them.
l
No problem, he is food for the scavengers situation over.
They are Hilliary's Flying Monkeys.........................
I have said all along that STEELE DID NOT WRITE THE DOSSIER AND PROBABLY DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO READ IT.
Steele was just a conduit to get the documents into the MSM and FBI. All he wanted was a paycheck for doing so.
McCain did it for free....................
