Former British spy Christopher Steele told a British court that he shared his infamous dossier in 2016 with an associate expecting that it would be provided to State Department officials, including Antony Blinken, who is considered a top contender for secretary of state in a Joe Biden administration.
According to a judge’s decision handed down last week in a dossier-related lawsuit, Steele told the court that he provided a copy of the dossier in early November 2016 to Strobe Talbott, a former deputy secretary of state who then served as the president of the Brookings Institution.
Steele also said he expected Talbott to meet with Blinken regarding the national security implications in the dossier.
Blinken served at the time as deputy secretary of state, the number two position at Foggy Bottom. Before that, he served as deputy national security adviser to President Obama and as national security adviser to then-Vice President Biden.
According to Axios, Blinken is considered a top contender to serve as secretary of state to Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee.
It is unclear if Blinken ever met with Talbott or learned of the dossier. Neither of the former State Department officials responded to a request for comment.
But Blinken’s possible link to the dossier highlights the State Department’s deep connections to Steele and his salacious report. Steele’s work has come under scrutiny as the special counsel’s investigation and the Justice Department’s inspector general have all but debunked the dossier’s core allegation of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Trump should have declassified the documents from the Countries
who were in on this criminal hoax. Specifically UK and Australia.
Gee, do you think Blinken will sell his position the way the Hag did? If he does, will Biden get as bigot of a cut as the Obozo did? Criminals do commit crimes don’t they.
I’m sure the FBI will get right on this after they are finished hunting down peaceful protesters.

No longer nominee. Today he was fast track confirmed by a bipartisan vote of 78-22.
I want to know the names of the 22 who voted against Blinken’s confirmation. They’re worth supporting.
...And so it becomes time to impeach and remove Obama - if we can do it to Trump after he’s left office, we can do it to Obama next time Republicans control the House.....
