Ex-spy behind Trump intelligence dossier identified: Christopher Steele
The Hill ^ | 01/11/2017 | MARK HENSCH

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.... Steele also devised a plan for disseminating the document to U.S. and European law enforcement officials, they added, including the FBI....etc.

Sit him in a chair with a bright light in his face and find out how much the Clinton campaign paid him for this pile of B.S.

Buzzfeed? Really? Buzzfeed routinely tweets and then deletes (about 4900 that I know of), lies, rumors and just crap in general. This is the source? Sue the hell out of them all.

This is a lie, meant to hide the fact that it was 4chan fiction launched as a prank.

Remington Steele has credibility, this other Steele not so much.

This story is about to get better, because the really skinny broke today on The Jeff Kuhner Show 680AM WRKO Boston.

I am waiting for the transcript on their website, it isn't up yet, but the story goes something like this.

A caller called in claiming he is part of a group who wrote this story on a blog. it was co-written with the goal ( if I have this right ) to get the goat of a GOP guy as his kid is on this site and they knew it would get back to dad.

Said caller says he has his fellow pranksters have got an attorney and will come out with this in a proper fashion with council soon.

I hope I got this 1/2 right, I was half listening and the callers phone kept dropping out.

If this was a deliberate "punk" and McCain ran with it he was pwnd and should resign.

“Gay adult film star Mike Dozer, aka Christopher Steele, has pleaded guilty to raping a 14-year-old boy he met on a gay hook-up app and exposing him to HIV.

Steele has primarily worked in bareback adult films and created a line of condom-shaming t-shirts that bear the words “condoms are for pussies.” While his attorneys previously stated that he did not know the boy he had sex with was underage, new court documents show that he has changed his tune and acknowledges he knew the boy was under 16.”

Facts, schmacts. It’s not the same guy, but at least it’s sourced.

“... according to British Intelligence...”

Where have I heard that phrase before?

Contrived. If it were real, it would have been released long before now.

I suspect the whole “British spy” angle is pure fantasy tacked onto the story to give it the appearance of credibility.

The chain o’ custody appears to actually be from Wilson to McCain to FBI/CIA.

Also the media did verify that Trump’s lawyer did fly to from Korea to Prague on an Asiana Air..

They have sworn affidavits from four of the flight crew members
