Ex-spy behind Trump intelligence dossier identified: report
The Hill ^ | January 11, 2017 | By Mark Hensch

Posted on 01/11/2017 3:39:02 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

A former British intelligence officer who prepared a dossier about President-elect Trump’s ties to Russia has been identified, according to a new report.

Christopher Steele created the controversial document about the Russian government’s alleged power over Trump, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The dossier, which alleges links between Trump's campaign and the Russian government, as well as the existence of compromising Russian-owned material on Trump, created a stir Tuesday. CNN reported that the dossier's contents came up in an intelligence meeting with Trump, and BuzzFeed later published the unverified document — two reports Trump and his staff denounced in a press conference today.

Steele is now a director at a private security and investigations firm in London, according to the Journal.

Steele, 52, is one of two directors at Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd. The dossier's creator has been repeatedly described in reports as having a good reputation in intelligence circles.

Orbis was formed in 2009 by former British intelligence professionals, according to the firm’s website. The company mounts “intelligence-gathering operations” and conducts “complex, often cross-border investigations. . ."

Steele also formulated a plan to distribute the dossier to law enforcement agencies. Apparently John McCain was part of that plan.

>CNN “damage control” is actually the truth.
>They got a claim from the CIA, and they published what the CIA told them

*leans into mic*

FALSE.

Refuted by Rush Limbaugh here: https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2017/01/11/media-and-intel-agencies-collude-to-smear-trump-with-fake-news-and-fail/

Trump was briefed on the story.

But “the CIA gave this to Trump as an example of the kind of disinformation that is out there. They gave it to him as somewhat of an educational thing, as an example of disinformation. They did have a briefing with him and they showed him this, but they told him it’s an example of disinformation. They did not tell him that it was real. If he had been told it was real and if Obama had been told it was real, believe me, we would have heard about this long before last night. If anything in this had ever been real. And you must understand that journalists from around....

From 4chan, where the lads are talking Rubio capchas and lewd comparisons between Rubio and Kasich food types/pizza

I guess the 4chan troller/catfisher info in the 2 page addendum got picked up by this “Intel person” and then was added to the 35 pages he already had.

Unfortunately, we know why Putin had to kill these traitors in his own country. Russia is many steps ahead of us.

I wonder if anyone is taking a good, hard look at just what Orbis has been doing since it’s incorporation in 2009. And whom it’s been doing it for...

Has it been Orbis-ing around Planet Soetoro and company?

What did the UK know and when did it know it? Was the UK version of our uniparty meddling with a US election, concerned about the rise of a pro-Brexit candidate?

I think Orbis deserves some scrutiny.
