Christopher Steele, who wrote reports on compromising material Russian operatives allegedly had collected on U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, is a former officer in Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, according to people familiar with his career.
Former British intelligence officials said Steele spent years under diplomatic cover working for the agency, also known as MI6, in Russia and Paris and at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London.
After he left the spy service, Steele supplied the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation with information on corruption at FIFA, international soccer's governing body....

LOL!
I told my husband this yesterday.
There was one report out that this Brit was engaged back in June. That R’s hired him. And McCain flips the story to the FBI.
Only McCain wasn’t running in June. Who was in the most trouble in June???
UK Spy ‘Gathered’ Trump Intel Without Going To Russia
A GOP donor who opposed Trump hired Fusion GPS in 2015, but Hillary Clinton supporters took over financing the research after Trump won the Republican primary.
There are some reports that Steele is still affiliated with MI5, and that he is being hidden in a British government safe house. Also MI5 facilitated a meeting between Steele and the FBI. Russia says Steele never left the British Spy Agency.
“Who was in the most trouble in June?”
Well *YOU* know and *I* know who!
Every DAY President-Elect (LOVE THAT!) Trump PROVES that he IS the MAN for the job!
I am really, REALLY hoping that my joy, hope, enthusiasm, etc., won’t be wasted over these next 8-16 years.
The LOGICAL part of my brain says it won’t be, but I’ve been fooled before. ;)
Crazy.
Wow. Thanks.
Always well said lurkin.
When I previously heard the oppo was funded by a Republican, Jeb was my 1st guess. Romney was my second guess. Both of them are backstabbers.
JEB! An American disappointment (Please clap). https://youtu.be/bFeQ4Oz6ADs
A college drama class parodies Hamilton. Just songs.
OMG, I cannot stop laughing!
Thank you

Why in hell would the FBI be concerned about FIFA? The FBI is supposed to be focused on matters within the USA related to criminal activity.
“I wonder if it was his old man’s idea.”
Most likely Bush 41 who once was head of the CIA. That Bush-CIA connection still exists.
Lots of rumors about the rumors flying around now - this could grow into a Rocky Horror Picture Show cult/following....
What I think Steele ended up doing was dumping the average pay environment of the MI6, and getting some fake business scheme rigged up where they had information which they would share with the MI6, for a price.
MI6 then created contracts (worth a lot more than Steele would normally make as a insider), and they kept the Steele company on their payroll....making a great deal of money. I’d even take a guess that the CIA might have some contract with Steele as well.
The KGB in this case is probably right...in some way, Steele is still working for them, just in a different fashion. As for future work for MI6? No, I think the Steele brand-name at this point is pretty screwed up. He might have to go and return to some 007-retirement isle in the Pacific.
