Steele didn’t have a “source”. He typed it up right there in his office. He deliberately lied. The FBI knew exactly what it was and used it for the coup attempt.
Steele wasn’t duped or sloppy, nor was the FBI.
This is just YET another cover story.
“Steele looked at the material and, according to people familiar with the matter, asked himself, ‘Oh, my God—what is this?’”
Yeahhhh... sure. LOL
Bullshit detector pegged
Keep digging for that source. Eventually you’ll get to Stefan Halper.
The walls are closing in on Donald Trump.
Christopher Steele ends up not being James Bond but is revealed to be, at best, Pee Wee Herman.
Steele should be in Prison.
To this day, more than 6 months after the Horowitz report eviscerated the Russia collusion hoax, there are people breathlessly repeating the collusion charge in comments sections of newspapers and magazines online, only to be mocked by others. They still believe everything about the Russia collusion hoax.
The media is silent because all of the lies they consistently told to support the intended Coup did not work; Now Trump is going to be reelected and continue to call them on their lies, fake news, and spotlight them as the LIARS they really are.
Trump has some getting even to do with all of those liars.
Let’s go Durham. Let’s go !
( everybody chant )
Let’s go Durham .... let’s go !
This is just YET another cover story.
The coupists have had near four years to spin CYA BS. The time for “investigation” was 2017. Sadly, the GOP fully supported the Mueller coup and that did not happen. Now the Deep State has run out the clock and that is that.
first, Luke Harding - spook.
odd to read the following at UK Spectator, especially as author Dejevsky writes for UK Independent and Guardian. still, it’s the first time I’ve heard mention Steele’s name was on the delayed-release Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) Report, which gave BBC and the rest of the FakeNewsMSM yet another “excuse” to lead their news bulletins with references to so-called Russian interference in 2016 presidential election. e.g:
21 Jul: BBC: Russia report: UK ‘badly underestimated’ threat, says committee
And it said the government only “belatedly realised the level of threat which Russia could pose” after the so-called “hack and leak” operation against the Democrats in the 2016 US election, calling it a “game changer”...

1 Aug: UK Spectator: Should the Russia Report have relied on Christopher Steele?
by Mary Dejevsky
When the Intelligence and Security Committee’s (ISC) Russia Report was finally published last week, the name of one person who gave evidence will have leapt out for many people. Among the ‘external expert witnesses’ listed was none other than a certain ‘Mr Christopher Steele, Director of Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd’...
Steele’s name appeared alongside half a dozen inveterate cold warriors, such as Bill Browder (of Magnitsky fame), the journalist and historian Anne Applebaum, and a clutch of others with similarly well-known views. For me, as for some other long-time Russia watchers, it seemed a predictable and unambitious selection that was destined – by accident or design – to produce the evidence the ISC wanted to hear. This was regrettable confirmation bias, groupthink, or whatever you will – but hardly a great surprise.
If the views of these witnesses are well-known, however, they are sound and sincerely held – even if some of us do not share their perspective. The inclusion of Christopher Steele, on the other hand, raised questions about why he was there. It raises still more questions now. Many months after he gave his evidence, there are reasons to cast fresh doubt on the veracity of his dossier – and by extension on the reliability of what he may have said to the inquiry.
The doubts are sown by a revelation reported at length in the New York Times on 25 July and circulated widely via the Twittersphere. According to the report, the prime source for the Steele dossier was no intelligence ‘deep throat’ based in Moscow, but a 42-year old researcher based in Washington. A Russian-trained lawyer with US degrees, he was named as Igor Danchenko, who supplemented his pay by taking commissions for information on his erstwhile homeland from companies such as Christopher Steele’s...
Now this does not mean that everything in the Steele dossier is fiction. Danchenko may not have been the only source for those claims. Perhaps there were others with more up-to-date and authoritative knowledge of Trump’s alleged activities in Russia. It could even be, if you really want to wallow in conspiracy, that Danchenko played down some of the allegations to the FBI. This seems unlikely, however...
We shall probably never know either what Steele told the Intelligence and Security Committee all those months ago, or how much credence his testimony commanded. There is a large annex to the ISC report that is classified and crucial passages in the published report are redacted. But either interpretation of the dossier’s production cannot but cast doubt on the reliability of his testimony, and – depending how seriously the committee took it – on at least some of the conclusions of the ISC report...

of course, if Durham finally brings down indictments after millions have known the facts for years - FakeNewsMSM/Dems/DeepState will scream it’s interference in the 2020 election!
After all these years, they still think the Steele Dossier was true.
They might as well live on another planet.
