An FBI agent shared the name of former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos with Trump dossier author Christopher Steele during a meeting in early October 2016.
That new bit of information was revealed in a column published Wednesday by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.
Ignatius reports that Steele, a former MI6 agent, met with an old FBI contact in Rome around Oct. 1, 2016 to share findings from his investigation into Donald Trump’s and the Trump campaign’s associations with the Russian government.
“At this meeting, the FBI official asked Steele if he had ever heard of Papadopoulos,” reports Ignatius, who cited an official familiar with the meeting as his source.
According to Ignatius, Steele had not heard of Papadopoulos, a little-known energy consultant who joined the Trump campaign as a volunteer adviser in March 2016. He pleaded guilty in October to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian nationals while working on the campaign.
Ignatius’ report reveals for the first time that an FBI agent shared information about the bureau’s investigation with Steele, who operates a private research firm in London.

Who was the agent that met with Steele?
Also, if Steele was such a super-spook, with such great contacts, how come he'd never heard of PapaD, since the left has declared that he's some kind of criminal mastermind?
Maybe PIAPS should have hired Remington Steele instead.
I think Steele and Fusion GPS are semi private spooks that do dirty work for our agencies. Obviously this was a corrupt political op by our security agencies.
Maybe he's just someone's Mini-Me..............
So the FBI provided Steele the fake intel for the fake dossier, for which the FBI then paid Steele to give to them. Makes perfect sense.
So it stands to reason that the FBI gave Steele information that he would include in the fictitious report that Hillary paid him to produce for the FBI.
This is like a California Wild Fire, except they keep trying to put it out with gasoline.
Hmmm.. if this is coming out in the Washington Post, the FBI cabal must know that it’s about to come out elsewhere and they’re trying to shape the story.
WOW! Same thought posted 10 seconds apart. You win.
wild fires produce deadly mudslides.
Pop joined the Trump campaign as a volunteer. Sure looks like a mole to me.
Papadopoulos was, very possibly, an AGENT PROVOCATEUR. He just wasn’t a very good one.
That's exactly what's happening. I'll post the Ignatius column shorty - it's deep staters in major cyam.
I agree they're trying to shape the story, and my guess is that they're trying to infer is that there's no way these guys were in cahoots with one another, or even knew they were on the same team together, long before this supposed discussion took place. October 2016 is already well into the play.

sorry for not writing this down, but yesterday something was posted out there that named “the FBI contact” steele met in Rome. which best I could read, his name was not include in this news article today???
I can’t remember the “agent’s” name right now, but he worked with steele on the FBI FIfA bust.
as of info scrubbed from the website?? this same former fbi agent was working for another FBI “subcontractor” known as Crowdstrike.
iirc, Crowdstrike was the firm that investigated the DNC email servers, too.
there seems to be more dots out there that all lead back to an orchestrated sting on this dossier project.
many of the players keep showing up.
I’ll look around and see if I can find that name.
Thanks for your work!
so when did Fusion GPS found out about GP?
sorry again.
ran down several rabbit holes I was in yesterday, but couldn’t find that crowdstrike team photo file that had this former fibber on there.
got hop out for a dr appointment.
be back later.
interesting maybe...........
Simpson told investigators in the Aug. 22 interview that the FBI believed Steele’s allegations to be credible because the bureau “had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source.” (RELATED: 7 Revelations From Glenn Simpson’s Senate Testimony)
News outlets jumped on the claim and interpreted it to mean that the FBI had a mole from within the Trump campaign who provided information about possible collusion.
But a source close to Fusion GPS clarified Simpson’s testimony, saying that he misspoke. Simpson was actually referring to the Papadopoulos connection.
It was not entirely clear from Simpson’s transcript how he would have heard about the Papadopoulos connection by the time of the Senate interview.
The FBI had received information about Papadopoulos from the Australian government.
