Steele giving State Dept reports on Russia 2013-2015
Steele working with FBI on Trump Tower based investigations 2011-2013
Bruce (or Nellie) Ohr discussing Aras Agalarov in March 2016.
Synopsis of Luke Hardings book re dossier. Natalia Veselnitskaya was Agalarovs lawyer. She worked for Pyotr Katsyv.
Hacked State Dept email (the Ohr email above is from same batch) discussing Glenn Simpson working for the Katsyvs April 2016.
First memo pre-FBI briefing. Steele has spoken to source A,B, D, E, F And G.
Luke Harding reports that “many” of Steele’s sources for the Ukraine/Russia reports he passed to the State Dept are same for Trump dossier. 🧐
Steele was working for Simpson on Manafort in early spring 2016. His Russian sources were good for first part of 2016. (After FBI was in the loop, his sources in Russia clammed up)
* Hardings reported this before and he didn’t answer my tweet asking if this was still accurate.
If a=b...
If true Steele’s sources for the dossier are many of the same sources Steele was using for his reports to the State Dept.
And they dried up in July 2016 ish.
For a second put yourself in Steele’s shoes for a minute. He’s a British ex spy, working for free for the US State Dept and US FBI for many years. He’s then hired to research a US presidential candidate.
His sources are the same for both.
What does U.K. intel think? 👍👍 up
Sir Dearlove acknowledges the dossier.
The same Dearlove who left the Cambridge spy Institute he attended with Stefan Halper because it was to Kremliny. telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/1…
Put yourself in the US State Dept shoes. Nuland, Winer, whoever. Steele met with Nuland in mid July, after the FBI meeting. Her British ex spy was gathering intel on both Clinton and Trump. The FBI is now involved. Steele’s sources are about to get scrutinized.
Put yourself in Agent Gaetas shoes. His great foreign ex spy source for the *Trump Tower investigations* has collected intel on both US presidential candidates and the State Dept is involved. He tells FBI HQ, since as a foreign assistant legat he reports directly there.
Gaetas boss was Randall Coleman. International Operations was one part of his gig. He was over 5 Eyes LE Group, and was briefed on Weiners laaptop contents (IG report). He’s no longer with the FBI.
Oh and Carter Pages Russian spy case.
Look at that who’s who of names web.archive.org/web/2017071905…
Randall Coleman might just be the One To Watch for the FBI. He was over the beginning of the Hillary email investigation, briefed on Weiners laptop, briefed on Gaetas meetings with Steele, over FBI Cyber and 5 Eyes.
Cyber oh Lordy (DNC, DCCC etc)
He supervised Strzok at beginning of email case.
