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

Posted on 01/11/2017 1:45:38 PM PST by rface

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.

You’re right... definitely Comey. There was too much back-and-forth re Hillary’s emails, some of which harmed her, and some helped her.

Also, if McCain took the recent fake news story to the FBI —which he said he did — and it still was released, there’s a problem at the FBI.

And Comey’s bro, Peter, is a top dog at the Clinton Foundation. I wonder if Comey and his brother had any involvement in the disappearance of Braverman. Peter had the propinquity to Braverman for easy access; James had the power and tools of the FBI at his disposal.

Basically, everyone needs to go. Clean house. DTS.

A year from now I hope things have calmed down to just a dull roar instead of the blatant insanity of today.

BREAKING: 4chan Web Surfer who Supplied Christopher Steele the Sensitive Dossier Revealed

I.P. Freely, a 15 year old from Any town, Ohio decided it would be best to release the document after producing it in his mother’s basement. After downloading a $1.99 thesaurus application from Apple, he realized he had to much invested to simply sit on this information. I.P. Freely plays football, basketball, and loves classic literature.

His favorite author was William Shakestwice, who coined the classic dilemma, “To pee, or not to pee.”

"Is this gibberish? I couldn’t understand any of it."

Agree LS. The Audio sound bar is above the transcript. It won't work for me at the moment, but move it to about 30 or 40 minutes into the hr to see if you can find when "Tom" calls.

Here is the link: http://media.wrko.com/a/118069056/will-peegate-bring-down-cnn-1-11-17.htm

Note, he carry's "Tom" through a commercial segment or 2, and he drops off and they have to call him again, so you may have to listen for a bit to hear it all.

I can verify. I caught the Kooner show live while I was out in the car today. The caller had the whole background of the story. It was he and two or three others who completely made up the story. The caller said that they even spelled a word (Manafort?) the wrong way intentionally three times. It was all to get back at Rick Wilson who fell for it hook line and sinker. Wilson’s son was one of the authors of the fictional piece.

Of course your audio transcript is, I guess, a voice recognition mess. But having heard the conversation live I can understand it better than someone who didn't hear it live. For example, this part was Kooner speaking, "Is it not frightening. That what starts off as a prank. Is a joke. Ends up being in our intelligence report."

I highly recommend anyone to hear it for themselves. Straight from the horses/sources mouth.

You are welcomed, and thank you for all you did this cycle and what you continue to do. Take care of that cold!

Here’s an example of my world. The 4:45 am interview went fine. I have another at 5:30 with Breitbart, supposedly for a half hour, the next not til 7:10—so I can’t go back to sleep.

The Breitbart guy did 5 minutes!!! Grrrr.
