AFAIK of the three; only Browder is friends with Winer.

This is the genesis of Russiagate. It started as an

Winer passes them free of charge to Nuland. She "expresses surprise" about how "timely" they were. i.e. they contained the same info as official channels. (Or the same dis-info...).

Is the private client Bill Browder?

The Steele memos previous to this date can't therefore be about Trump. The language in the media is all about "Putin personally" did this or that. The villian being set up is President Putin, not President Trump.

April/May 2016: "Not long after" finishing Charlemagne Steele starts with Fusion

May 26th 2016: Trump becomes presumptive Republican nominee

June 6th 2016: Browder sends photo of Veselnetskyas house to Kyle Parker of the State Department. Kyle forwards to Robert Otto.

June 9th 2016: Trump Tower Meeting.

The timing suggests it's highly likely that Browder KNEW about the Trump tower meeting.

He knows she's in NYC. He knows she's trying to "spread dirt about him". He's contacted State Department officials about her.

Winer is friends with both Browder and Steele...

Winer passes it to Nuland, and Finer. Finer later passes it to John Kerry (who is an "old boy" school friend of Robert Mueller).

Or paid by a "private client") saying that the Kremlin is giving direct orders to Trump. When the S-Council is called, Mueller makes point to discus this memo with Steele
