Poisoned Russian Spy Was Close to Trump Dossier Author Christopher Steele & Consultant

a reply to: Sillyolme

British home secretary: ‘Too early’ to pin blame in spy case Amber Rudd says the investigation has been painstaking and involved more than 250 counter-terrorism officers.

Just a little info for you Watson....

Also interesting here:

There has been speculation in police circles that he received an Osman notice before he was attacked. These are warnings handed by the security services to people they fear may be targeted. But Skripal seems not to have made any changes to his lifestyle: hardly the action of someone in fear for their life.

There are also claims that considerable amounts of money were found in his bank account and that mobile phone records connect him to the former MI6 agent who recruited him. Again, none of this can be confirmed.

Steele is not currently under investigation by any U.S. agency. Graham and Grassley sent a letter to the DOJ expressing concerns because they thought Steele had lied but funny enough they kept what he may have lied about classified. We do not know exactly what they think Steele lied about. This is odd because accusations or concerns like this are usually kept private if any part cannot be revealed to the public. This looks more like a political move to cast doubt on Steele.
At this time Steele is not under any investigation.

Fiction sources. Haha you fight hard foxy for the belief.
What part isnt true? What proof do you offer that any of it is fake because none of it has been debunked.
Oh and we have a letter trump wrote to Putin where he added a hand written note to Putin that he was looking forward to meeting beautiful women. At the time the cough cough encounter may have occurred.
It must be such a treat to be his wife..shakes head sadly.

No one said it was trump but to say it points far far away from him is riduculous. It's two degrees. You're really in denial now.

a reply to: carewemust

Trump.

a reply to: burntheships

This same man was poisoned in 2006. By the Russians. Because he has not died doesn't say anything about who may have done it but he was a double agent and Russia tried before to assassinate him.


NOTE. THIS IS INCORRECT. I WAS THINKING OF ANOTHER RUSSIAN SPY IN THE NEWS RECENTLY
I AM ADDING THIS STATEMENT RATHER THAN APPEAR DISHONEST AND DELETING THE INCORRECT POST.
My apologies to the community. 💙

We do know that Steele lied to the FBI.
That is a crime....

We do not know exactly what they think Steele lied about.

We do know that Steele lied about his dossier sources,
according to the FBI, and that Steele lied about whether
he had disclosed his information to the media.

This is odd because accusations or concerns like this are usually kept private if any part cannot be revealed to the public. This looks more like a political move to cast doubt on Steele.

The FBI cut ties with him long before this was made public,
citing in a report that he was unreliable.

Why do you defend him?

Your source please.

He was a double agent for Russia, but also for Britain.

I'm sorry I was thinking of a different Russian spy who was in the news recently.
My mistake.

a reply to: burntheships

Yes he was a double agent for Russia and the UK MI6. Agreed.
There are too many Russians to keep track of in the news these days.

a reply to: burntheships

I did read the story you know lol . I don't need you to point out the contents to me.
My mistake wasn't from this text it was another story from earlier this week about another Russian who had been poisoned in 2006. It was my memory of Russian names not my comprehension at issue.

Actually "Steele" IS under investigation 😉

There are links between Litvinenko and Sergei but then again this is hardly surprising, neither is their association with an associate of ex-MI6 Steele as MI6/SIS is a very small group with 200 staff at most focusing on Russia. The recruitment office handlers for each person are likely to be the same team due to it's niche nature.

ETA - Worth noting that The Telegraph is infamously staffed by SIS on the news desk. The dossier angle may just be an MI6 spin/psyop, it may be insider knowledge or it may have made it to print without any SIS interference; it's impossible to tell but their take is always vital reading to try and get a picture of what may be going on behind the scenes - bias and motives become more evident as time progresses.

a reply to: burntheships

Did he? The letter from Grassley and Graham alleges he lied but doesn't say about what because that section is redacted. They talk a lot about Steele talking to reporters and that is the reason the FBI decided not to use him but until we know what Grassley and Graham were talking about specifically we do not know that he lied to the FBI. However it is not true that he is under at investigation.

a reply to: burntheships

If there was any lie it was about talking to reporters not lying about sources. No part of his dossier has been shown to be a lie. His sources were identified to the FBI where they were only initials in the originals he submitted to fusion.

a reply to: xuenchen

No he isn't.

Is that your girlfriend?

a reply to: bastion

Yup that was the other Russian I was thinking of.

You have evidence that Michael Cohen traveled to Prague in August 2016 ?
His passport says otherwise.
