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.

Bkmrk.
One of the released papers supposedly had him busy with the world soccer championship. WHEN have you ever heard a Brit refer to “soccer”? Here’s a clue: in every nation on earth (except ours), they call it “football”. More bogus-ness.

Tom on PGA in mask go ahead Tom. I thank you Europe Libya my pleasure Tom Flores yours going at my. OK so yeah I'll start from the beginning. What capital shortfall and not put our retreat. They're trying to offend a lot of problem. People on the political section now or web site called fortunate. Arms so. I it and got a lot of people and actually the funny thing is that wasn't really many tribes supporters it was mostly chips orders sub or outlets. That started back in January it expects any. So are after that we kinda like our together in merchants. You know Erica adult jokes stories what's on its app of these things like during the agreed about. The peace stop. That's all most of it came from Robert Wilson but we found that it's subtle is right and stuff like that on the Internet. So are we trying to like compiled a little jokes story and a substantial and lawyer Rick Wilson. So Rick Welts and audit bands. Are key charge that he didn't understand there are a lot of torture by it silence that are Arlen. Based stopping that this artwork. And so. Rick Welts and pass up the chain to wrecked all of. Okay Tom before you continue wanna ask you this is what you said to us on the phone wars. You were kind of in on this correct. There are a lot of us got together and we're we're end you know we came up with our our joke story. I basically a joke story with a call fan fiction. And then Rick Wilson is there to say as a prominent establishment Republican and a big never trump her. Calls with the bush is Jeb Bush but also ties to Marco Rubio and John McCain correct. OK and and so you pushed it to Rick Wilson he obviously took the bait then what did he do with the info. OK so then. So I don't know what senator Warner does member of the staff but they'd present that make all of our and then our crew you know our oars he's got our who wept agency he's got archer. And are then picked all of our announcement chain. And then make change passed onto called me and now at some point and these transactions. A lot of are more Russians stop was at a they are not all of us a lot of that they interchange. Like the Russians are they put more Russians spent on it than we originally. Trauma or. That the five years right there have been cultivating trump for five years they want him to buy properties in a cold towels and they tried to put sweeteners in their whole command right all that was cut I think that was added by the CIA correct Tom. Yes daddy's girl bake things that they just a despair not at which is funny you know that they just sort endure that story the but it I was sure to began let. And are what they. OK so apt to act like you're we put in things like at a port if you noticed towards the end they had a fortunate spelt read bring that missed sultry difference. And we put that in on purpose vehicle. They're young. Back at Tom home on your break it up army company Jeremy. Hello. I okay we just lost Tom do we lose him mr. Because truck we're gonna try to column back. Because the 64000. Dollar question I think I know the answer but why would you have done this in the first place why. Now I think I think the answer is. Look Rick Wilson has is a very obnoxious guy. He's always since he was always insulting trump supporters throughout the entire campaign he was rapidly anti trump. So okay we got him back OK so I think it was malicious prank him. And you know just basically pull off a hoax never think he was gonna get this far Tom do we have you back on. Yep okay I'm so we never thought it was gonna go this are exactly. How and why did you do that Tommy you wanna ask you why did you do in the first place. Sure in order or. Little extra money or air into it publishes and so that I was just short order well. OK they're missing it why would this is knowing you wouldn't you love this but you know because we're gonna show that the stopped but it sung like where we at all that. Stage show that respondents set out these little. OK so as to embarrass him to humiliate them make you believe something that your own son wrote as fiction. Her. A question are you going to come out rather than on the stock show and say that year and your friends been up this joke. Edit a public FAO. We have someone right now is working the lawyer true. True that the documents keep percent of what are also in our inspectors from jail or. Fought back and turning over. Well Thomas and I I really want to thank you for calling the show could you've completely clarified this I've got to ask you one final question Tom okay. So they started off as a hoax as a prank as a joke to go after Rick Wilson. Is it not frightening. That what starts off as a prank. Is a joke. Ends up being in our intelligence report. Aha we lost him again okay hopefully we can get him back on I mean I want you to think about this that the CIA. Put this in their intelligence report and not only was this put in their intelligence report is completely bogus story. Unverified. Unsubstantiated. Clearly in fact a hoax orchestrated. But then they send it around this is the key point. To everybody on Capitol Hill. All majors the top senators they got this briefing. Are people in the intelligence community supposedly got his brief thing but Obama supposedly got his briefing. So complete fake news. Was a it was always it was what was taken up by the CIA. Thought it couldn't just unconditionally. Without any vetting any fact checking. And then they pass off as truth as the real thing. To bring down a president elect want you to think about that. And on top of it he just admit by the way McCain is now admitted it he was the guy that sent the staff for off. To meet with this suppose a British agent to wall so why does. Bogeys dole CAA and he fed it or call me to bring down trump as well. This is our intelligence community. And then on top with Dick Durbin then they're even caught adding more Russians spin to whipped. On top of it all to make a story even worse for trump and to sort of make his connection with important apparently even tighter. They're making everything Lou. And these are people entrusted with the national security. The United States this in my France. Heads have to roll. Jake Tapper house to go. Mick maniac needs to resign over this he needs to be forced to resign over this. And the CIA. It is now time for major sweeping reforms and eight perch. Of all of these political hacks at the CIA. Agree disagree. My friends I've got a column up on wrko.com.
Thanks!
ROTFL........I need this laugh......thanks

My experience is that there is a bizarrely virulent Left in the UK especially around London and they absolutely loathe Donald Trump with a passion. I know one low-level aristocrat who in coming to know would grow aggressive if I ever carried on a conversation with him into an area where facts were questioned.
Even though I knew a 'fact' or assertion to be bogus, this person treated me as if I had no business taking it up. I came to understand this is a more generalized trait among leftist upper crust British. Many of them feel entitled to construct their own version of reality and to not be questioned about facts.
Given my experience, and given CNN's propensity to fabricate stories, I would preliminarily infer that Chris Steele fits the mold of someone that is selling anti-Trump fodder.
Reduced size image gives a little better view.
His boss was Captain Jonathan S. Tuttle.
need to add Steele to that somewhere.
Probably have to wait until he’s “debriefed”.
“Facts, schmacts. It’s not the same guy, but at least it’s sourced.”
Yes, much like CNN and BuzzFeed claimed that “Michael Cohen” had met with Russians in Prague.
Does Mr. Steele know he did this?
The top CIA folks have no background in nor have fostered any improvement in U.S. on the ground human intelligence of our home, leaving the U.S. government dependent on the “intelligence” work of others, and then second-hand having to, or failing to, try to vet it.
Morell, the CIA top spook who defended Billary, Inc. was of those pure bureaucrats at the CIA.
The “Trump intelligence” reflects the low depths of the quality of “intelligence gathering” as well as the deep political bias that the CIA has fallen into under Obama.
“His boss was Captain Jonathan S. Tuttle.”
Was he a Goony Goo Goo? lol
Who knows what to believe these days?
Where did Christopher Steele get it? I’m suspicious of Clapper and Brennan. Those two are globs of scum that need to be drained from the swamp on Day One. Probably Comey, too.
Sooooooo....Is Christopher Hill a GAY, or a COMMUNIST??? It’s one or the other!
