Dossier author Christopher Steele will be questioned by US investigators: report

By Alex Pappas | Fox News June 4, 2019

Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier under new scrutiny after release of Mueller report

Former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier of salacious and unverified claims about the president’s ties to Russia, has agreed to be questioned by investigators from the United States, according to a report in Britain.

The Times (UK) cited sources close to Steele on Tuesday in reporting that the 54-year-old is set to be interviewed in London within weeks. The development comes as attention has returned to the dossier authored by Steele — especially since its more sensational claims were not substantiated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose report found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.

INSPECTOR GENERAL PROBING ROLE OF TRUMP DOSSIER IN SECURING SURVEILLANCE WARRANT FOR AIDE

The paper did not specifically say who Steele would be interviewed by.

But there are several ongoing investigations in the U.S. related to the origins of the Russia probe, and federal investigators are probing how the Democrat-funded anti-Trump dossier written by Steele was used to secure surveillance warrants for former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in 2016.

Dispute breaks out over whether former CIA Director John Brennan or former FBI Director James Comey pushed the unverified Steele dossier during the presidential transition; chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports.

Congressional committees have unsuccessfully sought testimony from Steele, who drafted the dossier while working for political opposition firm Fusion GPS, co-founded by Glenn Simpson.

Attorney General Bill Barr also recently announced that he appointed John Durham, the U.S. Attorney in Connecticut, to review the FBI’s Russia probe. Barr has testified that “spying” occurred against the Trump campaign during the 2016 campaign and has voiced interest in getting to the bottom of what happened.

Further, the Justice Department’s inspector general, as Fox News has reported, has focused on how the dossier was used by the FBI as part of a long-running internal review of alleged surveillance abuses during the 2016 campaign.

Last week, Barr said he has not received answers from the intelligence community that are “at all satisfactory” in the early stages of his review into the origins of the Russia investigation.

“Like many other people who are familiar with intelligence activities, I had a lot of questions about what was going on,” Barr told CBS News. “And I assumed I’d get answers when I went in, and I have not gotten answers that are at all satisfactory.”

Republicans in Congress have long focused on the dossier, claiming that it formed the origins of what became Mueller’s Russia investigation. They and the president have noted in particular the dossier’s funding by the DNC and Clinton campaign.

According to a Politico report earlier this year, Steele intended to rebut the IG’s characterizations in the form of a rare public statement, but had previously declined to be interviewed — citing the potential impropriety of his involvement in an internal Justice Department investigation as a foreign national. If he is speaking with the IG’s office now, it’s unclear what has changed.

Separately, congressional Republicans have questioned whether British officials supported intelligence-gathering activities targeted at Trump associates or coordinated in any way with Steele.

This for me and others is an interesting development with great potential for destructive mischief.

Why is it proposed he’s questioned in London and not America ?

Would he be under oath, and to whom, and would that count legally in London or America ?

How straight will his answers be, because I suspect MI6 are still interested in his future and him.

I could understand him testifying in America to a committee under oath sworn there, but would he be allowed to by “London interests” ?

The scope for frustrating, extending enquires until boredom sets in and downright official obstruction by the deep state here is boundless and if I’m right, Americans will shortly learn how powerful and ruthlessly obstructive the British establishment can be, after all, we who voted “leave” are being lied to and frustrated every day and have been for three years.

It’s going to be interesting to see how far any enquiry gets with this.

If he was questioned in the U.S. he might be locked up and charged. I suspect he feels he has more legal protection in the U.K. and could more easily fight off extradition requests. He is a globalist and fellow globalists may look out for him. I would imagine he could have allot to say if he wanted to expose other globalists in the U.K. and elsewhere. U.K. globalist and elsewhere hate Trump…. Merkel in Germany is atrocious!

Yes we both have our deep state working against us. I learned allot through watching May. about your deep state… Hopefully someone decent will replace her. She’ll miss the limelight. She’s finished.

The enfeebled British elitists are dumping May, now that she has served their purpose, and are now eager to at least appear to warm to Trump. Steele would not testify if he actually does testify unless his masters require it. His testimony will cover their backsides and be nothing but a whitewash for the Brits who were up to their necks with Obama and Hillary is attempting to first sabotage Trump’s elections then his presidency. It damages control time in the UK right now, and it better be fast lest Nigel Farage is the upcoming PM.

THE general ALL PURPOSE Democrat story:
– why write new stories all the time, when one story will do?
– Example: “The Democrats deny [fill in the blank] that they did [fill in the blank]
– and The Democrats accuse [fill in the blank] of being untruthful in reporting the truth
– and Pelosi demands to know how [fill in the blank] found out the Democrats are untruthful
– and the Democrats have a right to do [fill in the blank] because of self-interest
– and everyone else who is does the same thing as the Democrats
– is in violation of the Constitution”
————————-
– then just fill the blanks with the latest events
– and run the story

Yes,

– protecting the USA from ‘tyrant Trump’
– in the end, most of what they did and do
– just boils down to money
– Steele did it for the money
– that’s it, that’s all

If Steele was former MI6 it’s hard to believe May didn’t know about his actions.
If May knew about his actions, it’s hard to believe Obama high level staffers (and probably Obama) didn’t know about it.
This one is going to be really interesting.

May had to know. She is a fellow globalist. Steele made world wide headlines and he is also a globalist. She knows what’s going on and I am sure others kept her posted on it if she missed something. Steele is considered to be one the elite and served in the Secret Intelligence Service (1987–2009).

His background is interesting. Christopher David Steele was born in the Yemeni city of Aden (then part of the Federation of South Arabia or YEMEN), on 24 June 1964. Who goes to YEMEN to have a baby?
It looks like he is an old child and never married. The content of the dossier smacks of a homosexual male. Homosexual males are very often preoccupied with toddler and bathroom humor… Male homosexuals don’t like women…..but they can be very charming, lovable and entertaining around women.

Steele was recruited by MI6 directly following his graduation from Cambridge, working in London at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) from 1987 to 1989.[9] From 1990 to 1993, Steele worked under diplomatic cover as an MI6 agent in Moscow, serving at the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Moscow.[8][13][15] Steele was an “internal traveller”, visiting newly-accessible cities such as Samara and Kazan.[10][16][17]

He returned to London in 1993, working again at the FCO until his posting with the British Embassy in Paris in 1998, where he served under diplomatic cover until 2002. But Steele’s identity as an MI6 officer and a hundred and sixteen other British spies had their cover blown by an anonymously published list that Her Majesty’s Government attempted to suppress through a DSMA-Notice in 1999.[8][15][18][19][20]

In 2003, Steele was sent to Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan as part of an MI6 team, briefing Special Forces on “kill or capture” missions for Taliban targets, and also spent time teaching new MI6 recruits.[15] Steele returned to London and between 2006 and 2009 he headed the Russia Desk at MI6.[8][10][13][21]

Steele’s expertise on Russia remained valued, and he served as a senior officer under John Scarlett, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), from 2004 to 2009.[21] Steele was selected as case officer for Alexander Litvinenko and participated in the investigation of the Litvinenko poisoning in 2006.[15] It was Steele who quickly realised that Litvinenko’s death “was a Russian state ‘hit'”.[21] Twelve years later he allegedly was included himself into a hit list of the Russian Federal Security Service, along with Sergei Skripal who was poisoned in 2018 by a binary chemical weapon Novichok in Britain.[22]

Since 2009 Steele has not been to Russia, or visited any former Soviet states and in 2012, an Orbis informant quoted an FSB-agent describing him as an “enemy of Mother Russia”.[8] Steele has refrained from travelling to the United States since his identity became public, citing the political and legal situation.[23]

Private sector

In March 2009, Steele with his fellow MI6-retiree Chris Burrows co-founded the private intelligence agency Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd., based in Grosvenor Square Gardens.[24][13] Between 2014 and 2016, Steele created over 100 reports on Russian and Ukrainian issues, which were read within the United States Department of State, and he was viewed as credible by the United States intelligence community.[10] The business was commercially successful, grossing approximately $20,000,000 in the first nine years of operation.[8]

Steele had quite a gravy train going on and TRUMP would have derailed it…
He needed Hillary in there to continue it.

Steele ran an investigation dubbed “Project Charlemagne”, which noted Russian interference in the domestic politics of France, Italy, Germany, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.[8] Steele concluded in April 2016 that Russia was engaged in an information warfare campaign with the goal of destroying the European Union.[8]

He was making allot of money off “Russia interference”.

In 2017, Steele established a new company called Chawton Holdings, again with Christopher Burrows.[25] In November 2018, Steele sued the German industrial group Bilfinger, alleging that the company owed €150,000 for an investigation into Bilfinger’s activities in Nigeria and Sakhalin.[26]

whose report found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.

I do not believe that is what the report said. I think it said there was no convincing evidence of collusion, but that is different than saying there was no evidence.

If someone can point to a reliable secondary source on this to support or dispute my contention here, I would be appreciative.

German politician known for support of refugees shot dead in his garden, murder investigation launched
By Kaylie Piecuch | Fox News
6/4/19

A German politician was shot dead at close range in the head early Sunday in his own garden.

Walter Lübcke, a 65-year old regional politician from Angela Merkel’s party, was found left for dead at 12:30 am on Sunday, police confirmed the following day. Initially discovered alive by a relative, Lübcke, was declared dead two hours later after attempts to revive him failed. When police arrived at the scene there were no weapons or residue on the body, leaving officials to rule out suicide and begin a homicide investigation. “We have no concrete information on a suspect or a motive,” State prosecutor, Horst Streiff, told the AP. The main piece guiding prosecutors was the autopsy discovery that Lübcke was killed by a gun fired at close range to his head.

Lübcke is most notably known for his support of refugees.

In October 2015, the Christian Democratic Union leader spoke out in strong defense of Merkel’s policies on asylum-seekers, saying “whoever does not support these values can leave this country at any time.”

He received death threats following the incident, but investigators believe the events are not connected.

Sabine Thurau, the head of the German-Hesse state criminal police, said there was “no connection to the current crime, according to our knowledge.” She also emphasized, “we don’t want speculation to endanger the investigation.

Thurau has created a special commission with 20 police officers to investigate the politician’s death.
(Too bad they didn’t do that for the German girls that have been raped and molested. Guess their not important.)

Shortly to be ex-PM May was Home Secretary during most of the spying which means she was the boss of MI6 and its many offspring. She was also the PM. when not if, the truth comes out this was an effort by the enfeebled elitist British establishment to sabotage Trump’s election and presidency it will be revealed the true collision was between the Obama Administration and the Tory government of Great Britain. It is continuing to this day. That this treachery was was part of an Obama/Hillary conspiracy will eventually emerge with grave consequences for the Commiecrats on both sides of the Pond.
