The Mueller investigation is using the dossier as a roadmap. I also have no doubt that Nellie Ohr was feeding information from US intel files to Steele who then fed them back. It would be interesting to learn what is in Trump's personal FBI file, which I believe was set up in 2011 when Trump forced Obama to release the long form of his BC, an electronic fraud. This passage from the dossier should set off alarm bells:
Speaking to a trusted compatriot in June 2016 sources A and B, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure and a former top level Russian intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin respectively, the Russian authorities had been cultivating and supporting US Republican presidential candidate, Donald TRUMP for at least 5 years. Source B asserted that the TRUMP operation was both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir PUTIN. Its aim was to sow discord and disunity both within the US itself, but more especially within the Transatlantic alliance which was viewed as inimical to Russias interests. Source C, a senior Russian financial official said the Trump operation should be seen in terms of PUTINs desire to return to Nineteenth Century Great Power politics anchored upon countries interests rather than the ideals-based international order established after World War Two. S/he had overheard PUTIN talking in this way to close associates on several occasions.
In terms of specifics, Source A confided that the Kremlin had been feeding TRUMP and his team valuable intelligence on his opponents, including Democratic presidential candidate Hillary CLINTON, for several years (see more below). This was confirmed by Source D, a close associate of TRUMP who had organized and managed his recent trips to Moscow, and who reported, also in June 2016, that this Russian intelligence had been very helpful. The Kremlins cultivation operation on TRUMP also had comprised offering him various lucrative real estate development business deals in Russia, especially in relation to the ongoing 2018 World Cup soccer tournament, However, so far, for reasons unknown, TRUMP had not taken up any of these.
IDIOTS!
They expected us to believe that the Russians preferred Trump over the crooked-Hillary bribe magnet ?
Sorry, I left out “murdering-traitor”.
