What do you make of this? =>

The Russian Embassy in London sent a mysterious tweet saying: ‘Christopher Steele story: MI6 officers are never ex: briefing both ways – against Russia and US President’

That's very interesting--especially this item on Christopher Steele: "It emerged yesterday that he was the MI6 case officer assigned to Alexander Litvinenko, the former FSB agent murdered in London with a radioactive substance." I had been wondering where MI6 and the British government fit into things even before seeing this, so now I'm really curious. During Plamegate, the forces collaborating to smear Bush included rogue elements from Italian, French, British, and American intelligence, as well as former and current U.S. intelligence officers stationed abroad in those countries and others. With the current Trump dossier, we have Steele shopping it to the FBI in Rome, to the BBC in the UK ("Our correspondent said he had been shown the memos about Mr Trump in October last year, when he was told Mr Steele was "in fear of his life", having spoken out about potential Russian involvement in Mr Trump's election.": Ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele in hiding after Trump dossier), and to Mother Jones and CNN in the United States (and who knows who else). I agree with the Russians' premise that we should assume Steele still has some connection to MI6. I wouldn't assume he's acting officially on behalf of the British government without some evidence, though--more inclined to see anti-Brexit elements working with Obama and Clinton's people here on this.

I also see from that link that I'm not the only one reminded of Nigergate: Patrick Cockburn: Dodgy dossier is reminiscent of Saddam's supposed WMDs.

I unearthed this on FreeRepublic and I didn’t post it, because it is Motherearth.

What is missing is the reference to Harry Fraud

[Secret Agent Man]

Please.

This is to take the focus off Hillary and Podestas Uranium One quid pro quo deal.

She and her minions are the only ones with proven ties to Russia. For a known sweetheart deal.

This is total bs.

I searched for it and I didn’t see it. And yes, Harry Reid is also part of this story.

Thanks, I saw a thread on that article earlier but I missed your post!—I see the scent of Joe Wilson’s Nigerian mint tea did not got undetected. Also see Posts #24 and #27 in this thread.

Missing in this discussion: what about Saudi elites trying to co-opt and assist Obama and Hillary over the years. Is there not clear evidence this happened, and is this not relevant to those trying to link Trump to Russia?

[Fedora]

Well, the Saudis allegedly financed part of Obama’s college career, and they pledged $20 million or so to the Clinton Foundation, so you could make a case for them having some influence over the Obama-Clinton policy towards Iran, Syria, and Israel, which in turn could influence their Russian policy to the extent Russia is involved in the Middle East.

Of course they don’t bother to mention that the brilliant intelligence guy sat in a pub writing this fiction. He contacted no ne in Russia

David Corn is and has been a hard left gazoonie for years. Mother Jones isn’t even a good beer coaster.

[yldstrk]

Yawn.

Executives who have business interests in foreign countries have sophisticated and meaningful exchanges with foreign governments and foreign executives in order to facilitate business.

Better contacts than the government hacks manage. Period.

It’s for generating profits.
