[(former MI-6 agent Christopher)Steele’s reports also alleged that Russian consulates in New York, Washington and Miami were used to deliver “tens of thousands of dollars” to Kremlin-hired operatives using fictitious names as if they were legitimate Russian-American pensioners. That “ruse” was designed to give Russia “plausible deniability,” Steele’s reports suggested. However, Russia does not operate a consulate in Miami.]

This story was lifted from some opinion column posted by the BBC who hates Trump. McClatchy lists anonymous sources. And this Christopher Steele character is referred to as if he were a legitimate investigator. Steele hustled some GOP donor then a Hillary donor into paying good money for fabricated information. Steele may have also fleeced the Russians and the CIA out of cash. Steele is a shameless flimflam artist. That is why he is hiding under a rock someplace. Soon law enforcement will be looking for him on fraud charges.

There is no proof that this report was produced by Steel. He has certainly not publically declared it. In fact, as pointed out by many familiar with such work products, such a claim is farcical on it’s face - ie not the type of report a former agent would produce.

4Channel claims that as a prank they sent the made up stories to Political Hack Rick Wilson, and he must have added a spy twist before he passed it on. The lies were so obvious, they can’t believe that anyone fell for it. They punked, the CIA, John McCain, and the news media.
