Of all the wild tales that Christopher Steele spun about Russia-Trump collusion during a visit to the State Department shortly before the 2016 election, only one was deemed worth forwarding to his FBI handlers.
Long hidden, the now-disclosed email speaks volumes about both the quality of Steele’s so-called intelligence gathering and the FBI’s willingness to vet an informant who was openly biased against Donald Trump, paid by Trump’s Democratic opponent, and motivated by an Election Day deadline.
Multiple sources confirm to me that the attachment that Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec sent to then-FBI section chief Stephen Laycock on Oct. 13, 2016, was a summary from Steele’s company alleging Trump and Russia might be communicating through a computer server at Russia’s Alfa Bank.
This long-debunked allegation has floated around Washington since the summer of 2016, compliments of Hillary Clinton backers ranging from a university computer science professor who spread it across the internet to a lawyer for Clinton’s campaign who delivered it to the FBI in summer 2016.
The theory — worthy of a spy novel — was that a series of data pings between a computer in Trump Tower and Alfa Bank in Moscow actually was a secret beacon alerting the Putin and Trump teams that it was time to talk about colluding on hijacking the American presidential election.
The story eventually made its way to mainstream media such as The New York Times, Slate, CNN and, just last fall, The New Yorker. It has been debunked by the FBI, and it was not mentioned as a reliable allegation in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

But WE are the conspiracy theorists --DO NOT FORGET..!
I guess Big Foot and The Smoking Man were riding shotgun, uh-huh...
John Solomon is doing some excellent reporting along with Sarah Carter.
"Follow the SECRET BEACON, WaPo...!!"
Two hookers show up at a hotel.
Because they are so amazingly into politics and against the Obama’s decide to hatch a plan to pee on the bed the Obama’s stayed in.
How did they know about the hotel? Who is privied to that classified info?
Why weren’t they at work on the streets of Moscow?
Who told them what room the Obama’s stayed in? That’s fkg classified.
Why pee?
It’s incredulous. The story makes no sense whatsoever.
Did the hotel file a claim against the mythical nymphs for wrecking the bed?
Is there video of said nymphs in the hotel giggling as they checked in to the exact room? Surely there is video.
It is so fkg stupid it’s beyond comprehension.
...and we as a Nation are embarrassed globally by a story written by who? Who wrote it? I’d like to know that!
Steele didn’t write it and I’m surprised he’s still alive given the Clinton’s history.
My guess is that Hillary or one of Bill’s gfs actually did that after catching him cheating. She found out that he did it in the same bed they did it before and got payback!
Bttt
It’s a cinch.
Dems always accuse us of what they are doing or have already done.
Was this really generated originally by 4chan? If so, those weaponized autists have caused a lot of chaos.
It was never meant to withstand scrutiny, as scrutiny was never supposed to happen.
Steele worked on the FIFA SCANDAL, and I believe that somehow the CLINTONS were involved in the scandal.....anyone KNOW?
Who is that?
Glenn Simpson wrote it!!
And while everyone is going apespit over the dossier, nobody’s talking about the surveillance that was occurring long before the dossier was a gleam in Deep State’s eye...
What!?
Google FIFA and the Clinton Foundation!! Up to their DIRTY NECKS!
Steele was used and known by the CROOKED FBI because they used him in the FIFA SCANDAL years ago that the Clintons were involved in, and Steele obviously COVERED FOR HER.....so then she HIRED STEELE thru GPS!!
LOL........
