The Guardian reports that Steele collected his information from Russian sources he trusted, including those in Moscow and oligarchs living in the western part of the country.
“He delivered his reports, but the gravity of their contents weighed on him. If the allegations were real, their implications were overwhelming,” The Guardian reports, so he went to the FBI as well. He never heard back from them.
He later met with Senator John McCain after a former senior western diplomat who had seen the documents told the Arizona senator about them, according to The Guardian:
The emissary hastily arranged a transatlantic flight and met the source at the airport as arranged. (The Guardian has agreed not to specify the city or country where the meeting took place.) The meeting had a certain cold war tradecraft to it, as he was told to look for a man with a copy of the Financial Times. Having found each other, the retired counter-intelligence officer drove the emissary to his house, where they discussed the documents and their background.
The emissary flew back within 24 hours and showed McCain the documents, saying it was hard to impossible to verify them without a proper investigation. McCain said he was reluctant to get involved, lest it be perceived as payback for insulting remarks Trump had made about him during his rambunctious campaign.
McCain later gave the documents to the FBI, despite hesitation about getting involved because he had been targeted by Trump in the past.
“Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI. That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue,” the senator said in a statement to The Guardian.
McCain is such a slime ball. This should ruin him, but the Senate is too polite to one another. They are all in the club.
“My good friend..Senator XXX...”
“We sometimes disagree...””
“I respect his position...”
B.S.!!
McCain is a Traitor in the truest sense of the world.
That whole excerpt has a definite spy-novel sort of faux derring-do air about it.
I’m reminded of nothing so much as that ridiculous Valerie Plame thing.
Fiction. Worthy of Bulwer-Lytton. Dark and stormy night stuff.
4Chan trolls write more believably than the Guardian or whomever has them doing their bidding.
Sorry, I don’t believe it. From several reviews there were simply too many errors in the report to believe that it actually was prepared by a professional.
It’s just the Globalists trying to find some excuse to keep Trump out of office, or get him to surrender to their agenda.
Note to Guardian: when in a hole, stop digging!

No, that's exactly why McCrisis did it. Trump triggered that old cuck hard. McCrisis never had to accept that paper, and further he never had to pass it on the Alphabets.
Tell that to Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions. They seemed to have dispensed with their legendary collegiality at his hearings.
thanks.
