Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence agent who compiled the hoax dossier alleging ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, refuses to cooperate with the Department of Justice’s investigation into the origins of the Obama administration’s spying on then-candidate Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, according to Reuters.
A Reuters source close to Steele’s private investigation outfit, Orbis Business Intelligence, said the ex-spy has chosen not to answer questions from Connecticut’s U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was recently appointed by Attorney General William Barr to examine the probe’s origins. Reports of Steele’s unwillingness to cooperate with the Durham comes days after President Trump gave Barr authority to declassify intelligence materials related to the probe and ordered several law enforcement agencies, including the CIA and FBI to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney’s review.
In 2016, Steele was hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS tasked by attorneys for the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to dig up dirt on President Trump. Steele’s dossier was partly used by the FBI to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil members of the Trump campaign, namely, onetime Trump campaign foreign policy advisor Carter Page. FBI officials did not disclose explicitly to the FISA court that the dossier was paid for by the DNC or the Clinton campaign. However, the bureau did indicate that the document was produced as opposition research.

No chance our so called British friends would “encourage” him to cooperate.
Isn’t that big of him. It would be nice to see him charged and extradited.
Hope he doesn’t plan on traveling much
I still say he was just a ‘conduit’ for the dossier.
He didn’t write it.
I bet he didn’t even read it.................
Coverup and obstruction of justice. Get all his emails and texts running back to 2015.
#Unexpectedly
Shocked face
I expect we will be seeing a lot more of this kind of thing.
Imprison him.
*** No chance our so called British friends would “encourage” him to cooperate. ***
Wow, he seems to be getting treated differently than some other folks that come to mind.
...until Nigel Farage takes over.
Then cooperation is guaranteed.
Rap music, bamboo, fingernails.
Grand Jury Subpoena, then JAIL HIM when he refuses to talk.
I’m remembering how the Israelis extradited Eichmann from Argentina.
To do so, he’d have to betray our “friend”, the U.K.
Extradite his ass. Make it mandatory that the UK comply or be treated as the adversary they are and have always been.
Cancel all brit buys of F-35s.
Cancel all US jet deployments on their carrier with no planes.
Tell them a separate non-EU trade treaty with the USA is suspended.
Hard stop to all MI-5 and MI-6 cooperation.
Cancel Steeles entry visa and demand any nation he visits arrest him for extradition like Assange
There is a lot of pressure that can be brought to bear on the UK if they refuse to extradite the man who tried to overthrow our government.
