British intelligence expressed skepticism about the FBI's investigation into the Donald Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia in 2016, and eventually became so concerned it stopped cooperating, according to evidence made public in Special Counsel John Durham's recent report.
Durham released his 300+ page report on the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion probe on Monday, representing the culmination of years of investigations. That report excoriated the FBI for pursuing the investigation without possessing any significant evidence of wrongdoing.
Intelligence officials in the United Kingdom evidently shared Durham's assessment contemporaneously.

Durham highlighted an exchange between an intelligence official and the FBI's legal attache office in London (ALAT) in which the latter relayed concerns about the flimsiness of the evidence, especially as it related to former Trump campaign aides George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.
"Dude, are we telling them [British Intelligence Service-1] everything we know, or is there more to this?" he asked "Supervisory Special Agent-1." "That's all we have... not holding anything back," was the reply, prompting ALAT to retort "Damn that's thin."
The FBI legat in London "went on to tell the Inspection Division that in discussing the matter with a senior British Intelligence Service-I official, the official was openly skeptical, said the FBI's plan for an operation made no sense, and asked UK ALAT-1 why the FBI did not just go to Papadopoulos and ask him what they wanted to know, a sentiment UK ALA T-I told investigators that he shared," he wrote.
The Brits' concern escalated throughout 2016 and 2017, eventually resulted in a UK intelligence officer refusing to aid the FBI any further, Durham's report revealed.

The evidence they showed on day one would have looked more convincing if it was written with crayons.
Guilt by omission.
Comey, that self righteous lying scumbag, is now a confirmed fraud and American justice is a laughing stock to the world.
Baloney. This is damage control. They were in it up to their limey eyeballs. Steele is their spy, and they never disavowed him, and they refuse to make him available.
Now they think Trump may come back and they are looking for cover.
Perfidious Albion.

There should be at least one prison loaded with DemonRATS who were involved in this scheme to overthrow the President of the United States and bring down his administration. The Africans are right. There is NO JUSTICE IN THIS COUNTRY.
What a bunch of BS. The Brits were in on this from the beginning.
The dossier is an unfinished 35-page compilation of raw intelligence[14][15] based on information from initially anonymous sources known to the author, counterintelligence specialist[16] Christopher Steele.[17] Steele, a former head of the Russia Desk for British intelligence (MI6), was writing the report for the private investigative firm Fusion GPS, who were paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).[18]
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The FBI offered Christopher Steele One Million Dollars in order to FRAME me. Why aren’t all of the so called Special “Prosecutors,” together with their bosses at the DOJ, doing something about this. Why aren’t people under arrest. They spied on my campaign, and bribed people all over the place, and then go after ME. The people of our once great Country won’t stand for it. How much more can they take, as the USA goes to HELL? MAGA!!!

The interesting thing isn’t the hypocrisy and stupidity on display, but the reason for the trip...
The UK has a Deep State, too, and theirs is still in lockstep with ours.
But the Democrats’ lack of intelligence kept it going.
Then why didn’t UK do or say something? Wasn’t Mr. Steele a Brit? He was up to his eyeballs in this hoax.
My bet is that the British knew it was a fraud and helped anyway because they hated Trump. Now that its all falling apart, they are planting stories that they really didn’t cooperate, or stopped cooperating (whatever that means) to try to look good. When it comes to intelligence services, always go with the worst motive.
they refuse to make him available.
Then how did the FBI offer him (at least) $1,000,000 to verify this report?
The world can see how corrupt the Democrats in power and the FBI are. No wonder our status within the world community is plummeting.
And still are.
