Christopher Steele reportedly worried about becoming the fall-guy for Russia hoax
American Thinker ^ | 06/06/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Now that he apparently has made a deal to speak with US investigators about his “dossier” (purchased with DNC and Hillary campaign monies) that was used to mislead a FISA Court into allowing domestic spying on US citizens, former British spy Christopher Steele is letting a buddy at the New York Times know that he is nervous about becoming a fall-guy. Appearing on CNN Tuesday, NYT reporter Matthew Rosenberg told Don Lemon:

“He is incredibly concerned and obsessed this investigation is going to throw him under the bus. And his view, at least from the people close to him, is, ‘Look, I was working on this dossier that people were paying for. I saw things that the Democrats were paying for. I saw things that seemed frightening to me and alarming. I went to old contacts of the FBI to tell them. I wasn’t a paid source in this case.’ That’s his view of it.”

For his own sake, I hope Steele has some real dirt to offer on the higher-ups in MI-6, the CIA, and the FBI. I am pretty sure that US Attorney Durham is more interested in them than he is in Steele.

I’d be willing to bet good money that as a result of President Trump’s visit to London and his discussions with the Queen and PM May, an agreement has been reached to keep the Special Relationship strong by ridding Her Majesty’s government of the people who sought to interfere in our elections and unseat an elected president.

Steele is a little fish. He knows it. It’s time to play Let’s Make a Deal.

Well looks like we’ll need all his financial records now.

He probably should have thought about that before getting himself into this mess. No sympathy from me.

Since he invented it and typed the whole damn farce up right there at his office, I’d say that was fair. It would be fun if he filled in who paid him to, and which GCHQ and CIA and FBI people he got the marching orders from.

Total farce. Not a Russian in sight. This was a homegrown intel community and Hillary scheme.

He can “worry” all he likes. In fact all of Britain could complete its culturally suicidal path to complete rot. However none of this will mean anything to the majority of the American people unless there are arrests and some well publicized perp walks.

Seems a bit late to be worrying about it, more appropriately he should be dealing with it.

Trying to save his skin, Steele says:
<><>he was working on the dossier other people were paying for,
<><>saw things that the Democrats were paying for,
<><> saw things that seemed frightening and alarming.........

Now says he "went to old contacts of the FBI to tell them."

Well, he was, quite intentionally, the mainspring, the keystone, etc of an attempted coup. Those who play with fire shouldn’t express surprise at the prospect of getting burned

It all depends on whose investigating him. If it’s the IG he has nothing to worry about. If it’s Durham better start spilling beans.

I’d say his fear is legitimate but that’s the risk you take when you enter a criminal conspiracy with big time operators. Plenty of small fish who got in bed with the mob have learned this lesson. The hard way.

No sh_t, Chris! And you call yourself an INTELLIGENCE officer? Everyone knows this is how the Clinton’s operate. You’re lucky you’re still alive.

I agree! I am surprised there haven’t been ‘disappearances’! What about that Mifsud guy? Has he showed up yet?

Yes keep out of Hyde Park and Green Park in London. They're the type of places where blood flows uphill !

He, like everyone else, thought Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in, and he was doing his part to make it so.

I agree 100%. Horowitz will only be interested in whether FBI internal procedures were followed properly, if forms were filled out in 5 copies instead of 6, etc. Might reveal a need for more sensitivity training.
