I think you're onto something, Bobby my boy.
We tend to think that the intel agencies are some type of independent actor with their own plans and methods.
Haven't we discovered that our "intel" was acting at the behest of others? Sort of an the intelligence (CIA) and enforcement (FBI) arms of higher ups? And by higher ups I not only mean the Obama "administration", including Obama himself, but the real puppet masters that control governments ultimately.
What you describe with Steele (and Mifsud) is the derp leadership seeking to "cordon off" the damage and put it all on people like Brennan, that UK intelligence guy that resigned, and other operatives, agents, and spies.
They will gladly let those type go down and take the wrap if they are allowed to walk away.
Anyway, I see it like that. The "Steele" things, as you describe so well, was nothing more than the UK Government (May and others) working against the American President, County, and its people. An act of war in my book, though nobody will ever call it that.
I think May's resignation was a combination of Brexit and her getting busted for that act of war.
This derp war is all-encompassing and everything is connected. Brexit is a HUGE part of it. The EU was a consolidation of derp power on the road to ultimate derp control (One World Derp Government)
In summation. Lets stop thinking small. Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Steele, Halper, Mifsud, and all the other "players" are errand boys. They got to get got, but they are not the main problemo.

Thanks, baggy; I felt strongly this morning that I needed to post this to you - and the thread - because I think there are some core facts contained therein that will add to the unraveling of the whole messy mystery.
In support of my thesis, Neon Revolt has posted this thread outlining how the previous Italian govt possibly made a deal with Hillary Clinton to plant devastating info on Trump servers that - when discovered - would force him to resign the Presidency.
We know this operation operated at high levels - higher than just Christopher Steele. And, as Q says: these people are evil. We have to adjust our thinking as things develop.
Q did say “Bigger than you can imagine”
