Christopher Steele deposition due for release Thursday
https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/28/judge-overrules-steele-deposition/
A federal judge in Florida on Thursday ordered the release of depositions given by former British spy Christopher Steele and a longtime associate of late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain in a lawsuit filed against BuzzFeed regarding Steele’s anti-Trump dossier.
U.S. District Court Judge Ursula Ungaro overruled requests by Steele and David Kramer, the former McCain associate, to keep depositions they gave in the BuzzFeed lawsuit under seal. Ungaro dismissed a lawsuit filed against BuzzFeed on Dec. 19, 2018, by Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian businessman accused in the dossier of using his companies to hack into DNC computers.
The depositions by Steele and Kramer, a former Department of State official, are likely to shed light on how the dossier was compiled and disseminated to U.S. government officials and the press. Ungaro ordered the documents’ release for March 14.

A former director of the McCain Institute invoked his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination in response to a congressional subpoena.
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence wants to know how David J. Kramer handled a dossier of unvetted opposition research on Donald Trump.
Kramer has not denied sharing the dossier with BuzzFeed News, which published the document in January 2017.
