Someone help me here. A 4chan user faked the docs under the guise of a mI6er or a MI6er forged or fell for it?
4chan created the pee hoax as a joke. A liberal activist (Rick Wilson) gave it to McCain. McCain gave it to the FBI. The FBI gave it to the CIA who included the pee hoax in their report on “Russian hacking” our last election supposedly.
Of course, there’s also a CIA-paid UK spy named Christopher Steele who included the pee-hoax claim in a report that was circulated to many journalists in DC.
Basically, there were a lot of phoney claims being made based on no actual evidence that made it into a classified Intelligence report as if our spooks wanted the slander in there and paid for it or else that our spooks were too dumb to know how not to be fooled by a series of hoax claims (the pee hoax was just one of many).
I saw the 4chan’s anon’s twitter last night before it got shut down. He is supposedly from the UK, claimed he made up this story using almost word for word some Indonesian political scandal he saw on redit a couple of years ago. Sent it out to a lot of dupes on the left, media, nevertrumpers including Rick Wilson. He had older tweets where he was trolling Rick Wilson. Clearly he liked screwing with Wilson from his older tweets.
There are screen shots of an older 4chan thread where this anon 4chan poster talks about concocting this story and sending it out to people, and he mentioned Wilson in particular.
The two page dossier was then attached to/added to the other Russian ties to Trump stuff the “intelligence” agencies and collected.
Did the UK former intelligence guy Steel get sent a copy too? IDK but my guess? yes. He did not originate anything. The media using him as cover like ‘see we had reason to think it was real because the source is...’
The Steel guy is known apparently for being political, and that means the 4chan anon, who is also from the UK, could have trolled him as well. We’ll never know.
As it was explained on the Jeff Kuhner radio show today, by one of the 4chan hoaxers who created the fanfiction, it was all made up and presented to Rick Wilson to see if he’d bite. Rick Wilson did swallow it hook line and sinker. The several writers at 4chan were out to hoax Rick Wilson,....... and it worked. I don’t believe that there is any “Christopher Steele” involved. The fake “dossier” went directly from 4chan to Wilson. No British spy in between.
Part or all of the report was faked by 4Chan user and directed to never Trumper Rick Wilson. He fell for it and apparently gave it to CIA who also fell for it and included it in their report.
New Spin is that the CIA merely included it as examples of the types of stuff that was being peddled to try and compromise Trump.
The claims I read on twitter was that CIA, CNN, Wilson, and McCain all got punked. Further more this info had been floating around the gossip groups in DC for months, and most news outlets had refused to do anything with it because it had such outlandish and unbelievable claims and zero proof.
The alleged inclusion by the CIA, and their leak that Trump had been briefed gave CNN an excuse to report on it in a cleverly worded disinformation report. Careful not to tell what was actually there and giving the impression that the info could be really damaging.
They noted that it had been known for a while, but never mentioned before. However, their intelligence sources had told them that it was Opposition research hired by GOPe and DNC and came from a former MI6 agent was deemed a credible source.
So again we had unnamed Intelligence sources with a high degree of confidence meme. What CNN did was worse than what Buzzfeed did. Buzzfeed noted that the fantastic claims were likely not true, even though they printed the whole thing of outlandish garbage.
CNN gave the impression that there was real damaging stuff, that they were waiting until IC could verify before they would tell specifics. Carefully worded so that they could avoid libel/slander laws. Shades of Dan Rather - even used the terms: seriousness of the charges IIRC.
If someone wanted to do a spoof on spies and news, they couldn’t make stuff like this up - it defies the imagination. LOL
Thinking about it more, since the 4chan troll’s twitter has his location as the UK, he probably sent it to Wilson pretending he was some UK former spy. LOL

Exactly
