I’ll have to go back and find the details, but I read a report a couple of days ago suggesting that Steele is facing a serious legal dilemma. If the methods be used to compile his dossier were shoddy then he’s facing prosecution in the U.S., and if it was all legitimate then he’s facing prosecution for espionage in Great Britain.
I would love to see that if you can find it.
I also saw the idea that Steele’s situation would violate the Five Eyes agreement. I’m not so sure of that, since he was a retired Brit agent.
Steele only got $160,000 out of the $12 million that was spent on this dirty dossier.
He surely must feel cheated, since all he did was put his name on the crap, and now all lightening bolts are coming down on him!
Poor guy. NOT!

Judge Nap on FOX the other night - I heard it & I think it’s what you’re referring to:
Steele, the former British spy who is said to have compiled the Trump-Russia dossier, could have an “interesting problem,” according to Napolitano.
Napolitano said that at that time, the FBI was “conducting a fraudulent and deceptive investigation” of Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified emails.
He said the FBI and Justice Department fought to keep the memo from daylight and added that Steele’s mention as a “longtime FBI asset” may indeed have been why.
Napolitano said the United States, New Zealand, Great Britain, Australia and Canada have an agreement where they can share intelligence information with one another, but at the same time have sworn not to “cherry pick” which foreign agents they use for intel.
He said that if Steele was chosen to contribute intel to the American document while he was an MI6 agent, London could prosecute him for espionage.
“If before he left MI6, he was an FBI asset... [he] has an enormous problem on his hands,” Napolitano said, noting 2009 as a key starting point for his work with American entities.
He said the reason for the charges would be the fact that Steele then would’ve been a spy for England while simultaneously acting as one for the United States.
Napolitano said such conjecture explains why American agencies did not want the memo to be released.
