Ex-spy behind Trump intelligence dossier identified: report
The Hill ^ | January 11, 2017 | By Mark Hensch

Posted on 01/11/2017 3:39:02 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

A former British intelligence officer who prepared a dossier about President-elect Trump’s ties to Russia has been identified, according to a new report.

Christopher Steele created the controversial document about the Russian government’s alleged power over Trump, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The dossier, which alleges links between Trump's campaign and the Russian government, as well as the existence of compromising Russian-owned material on Trump, created a stir Tuesday. CNN reported that the dossier's contents came up in an intelligence meeting with Trump, and BuzzFeed later published the unverified document — two reports Trump and his staff denounced in a press conference today.

Steele is now a director at a private security and investigations firm in London, according to the Journal.

Steele, 52, is one of two directors at Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd. The dossier's creator has been repeatedly described in reports as having a good reputation in intelligence circles.

Orbis was formed in 2009 by former British intelligence professionals, according to the firm’s website. The company mounts “intelligence-gathering operations” and conducts “complex, often cross-border investigations. . ."

" He was supposedly an intelligence officer. "

The world is full of folks who are "supposedly" things that they really are not.

Like for example fake Marines.

Or fake Wounded Warriors.

Or fake paraplegics.

You know a lot about fake stuff, don't you Scumbag?
Tell us again about being buried for days under the rubble in Beirut.
Then tell us about your surgeries that are 50 one day and then miraculously 34 the next.

Tell us what it's like to steal the valor of honorable men.

I think this was not a hit done for free.

Reportedly, this Brit was working on this Trump hit, in June, 2016.

So who ordered his services, in June? Let’s see.... what was going on in June. Hmmm.

“McCain is a hero only because he was captured.”

Lindsay Graham’s cell phone number was revealed to the public.

Jeb was in freefall... Etc., etc.,
