FYI it appears the “redacted” deposition transcript released yesterday is Michael Gaeta, Steele’s handler
Case Agent 1 is cited in the IG report as being “primarily responsible” for some of the “most significant” errors in the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign. The New York Times has reported him to be Stephen Somma, a counterintelligence investigator from the New York field office.
Steele’s primary FBI handler, “Handling Agent 1,” has been identified in multiple news reports over the years as Michael Gaeta, an FBI legal attaché in Rome. Steele met with Gaeta on July 5, 2016, and provided him the first two memos from his dossier. Gaeta also arranged and attended an Oct. 3, 2016, meeting with Steele and a group of FBI agents.
