Steele to Ohr: “Just want to check you are OK, still in the situ and able to help locally as discussed, along with your Bureau colleagues.”
Ohr to Steele: “I’m still here and able to help as discussed. I’ll let you know if that changes.”
Steele to Ohr: “If you end up out though, I really need another (bureau?) contact point/number who is briefed. We can’t allow our guy to be forced to go back home. It would be disastrous.”
Did the DOJ/FBI divulge to the FISA court the identity of Steele's sources?
My guess is NO.
Who was the "our guy" Steele claims he was worried not be forced to go home?
My guess: Sergei Skripal.
Skripal is the retired Russian intelligence agent living in the UK. Remember, Christopher Steele's cover as an intelligence agent was blown long ago so he can't go to Russia to meet sources. His 'sources' were likely right there in the UK.
I bet Steele was using the claim that Skripal might be sent back to Russia as a pretext for protecting his identity from the FISA court and from Congress. In reality, Skripal was likely in no danger that the UK government would send him back to Russia.
Skripal would have been a useful 'source' to just make up stuff about Trump and Russia. Part of the money Steele was paid by Hillary was probably paid to Skripal. Skripal needed cash to get by in the UK.
Who poisoned Skripal and why? My guess: Russian oligarch supporters of Bill and Hillary.
If Skripal ever talked and said he was Steele's source and that he agreed to just make crap up for the dossier (perhaps based on fantasies from Blumenthal and Shearer provided by Steele), and that Steele knew about it, honest prosecutors might follow the trail from Steele to Brennan, Ohr, Strzok and others perhaps up to Hillary and Barry themselves.
But if he were killed, it would be very convenient to Hillary and Barry. They could say his mysterious 'sources' in Russia connected to the Kremlin will never be known, because he took that knowledge to his grave!
Everyone from British Intelligence to the CIA to the FBI to Hillary and Barry would be happy to have him out of the way, and they could blame his death on Putin.
New angle I had not considered.
Like an "insurance policy"?
The British were meddling in our election and, then, our politics.
I never for one second believed that the Russian government had anything to do with the poisonings in Britain, not for one second.
When people speak of the “Deep State” they are speaking of something even bigger than a nation.
Now that makes sense. It’s the best connection so far.
Would anyone dare call these actions Treason? Cut to the chase. Britain and some Russians conspired with Hillary’s people to fix and election. BHO’s people tried to make the whole thing happen. Then they tried to get rid of Trump after he won. Trump needs to take all these players to the woodshed. Call it treason. let them plea bargain it down to conspiracy to commit Treason. Life for all.
Blogger Jeff@themarketswork makes the case here that “our guy” referred to by Christopher Steele is actually Julian Assange.
And that there was a feeling that Assange might do things damaging to the interests of the Democrats and Obama and they (Steele, Ohr, etc) tried to broker a deal between Assange and the US government as damage control.
