Report: U.S. Officials to Grill Christopher Steele on FBI Ties in London
Breitbart ^ | 4 Jun 2019 | JOSHUA CAPLAN

Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence agent who authored the hoax dossier alleging dubious ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, will meet with U.S. officials to discuss his relationship with the FBI, according to a report.

The Times of London, citing a source close to Steele, reports the ex-spy will sit down with officials in London “within weeks.” The report comes days after Reuters broke the news that Steele refused to face questions from Connecticut’s U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was recently appointed by Attorney General William Barr to examine the origins of the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Despite Steele ruling out cooperation with Durham’s office, a source told Reuters that the former spook may still assist Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz with his review of the FBI’s handling of both the Clinton and Trump investigations.

Funny how this all comes about after Trump meets the Queen. I guess the Queen likes Trump!

No one here may be aware of this, but back in April of this year, after the FBI had over a year to classify them, the FBI just decided to classify all of the minutes and talks they had when they met with Steele I believe 11 times!

Steele agreeing to talk is a result of the pressure building on the British gov’t and its intelligence agencies as their role in Spygate comes into increasing focus. PDJT probably reinforced the request for Steele’s testimony during his meeting with May.

Signs that Peter Strzok, the man who was everywhere in Spygate, is cooperating and now Steele is talking mean extreme panic stations for Obama, Brennan, Comey, Hillary & Co.

The Queen has no direct authority to cause such things; however, she does have influence. I suspect that the British elites realize how important a good relationship with the US is (and especially, how important it will be after Brexit); and are trying to fix a few things.

Put Steele on a medieval stretch table.
He will sing like a bird.
