During Christopher Steele's visit to Rome, Italy in September 2016, Steele met with four American officials about his memos and research into Trump and Russia - some of whom had flown in from the United States.

Andrew Wood gave advice to Steele in Fall of 2016.

Lindsey Graham apparently also gave advice, but I have no idea when or if this sentence was even given to Steele at all.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…
Richard Dearlove continued to seek Christopher Steele's expertise after Steele had founded Orbis Business Intelligence due to his expertise on Russia.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…
"Steele and Burrows soon amassed a group of clients that included multinational companies and wealthy business titans, including some Russians, according to people familiar with their work."

Oh.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…
Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson were introduced to each other in 2009 by a mutual friend.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…
This sounds as if both Source A (a senior Russian foreign ministry figure) and Source B (a former top-level Russian intelligence officer) spoke to the same intermediary ("collector") for Steele's dossier.

In early Fall 2016, Christopher Steele and Christopher Burrows met with Richard Dearlove at the Garrick Club in London, England, where Dearlove advised Steele and Burrows to work with a top British government official to pass information to the FBI.

Christopher Steele met with Sir Andrew Wood in Wood's home in London, England after his meeting with Richard Dearlove.

Both Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson met with journalists at The Washington Post's headquarters in late September 2016, which we can now pin down as between September 21 - 23, 2016.

The Rome meeting happened after September 23, 2016.

Bizarrely though, Steele and the FBI spoke about George Papadopoulos.

Christopher Steele returned to London, England on October 3, 2016, as WikiLeaks would start dropping the Podesta e-mails on October 7, 2016.

The Washington Post has a copy of the Cody Shearer memo.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…
After Trump won the election, Steele briefed a senior British official about the dossier.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…
Between November 28 - 30, 2016, Christopher Steele and David Kramer met each other at Heathrow Airport.

This can be determined as the Halifax International Security Forum occurred between November 18 - 20, 2016.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…
David Kramer collected the dossier copy from Glenn Simpson directly, which Kramer then passed over to Senator John McCain.

This version suggests the date McCain passed the dossier over to Comey was December 9, 2016.

There was A LOT of information in that article that I was unaware of. But now I know it all.

On December 31, 2018, Josh Gerstein at Politico published the article "Suspect's Twitter messages played role in NSA hacking-tools leak probe".

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
"Messages that the former NSA computer security specialist, Hal Martin, sent via Twitter appear to have led to an FBI raid on his Maryland home and to his arrest on charges of retaining a vast trove of classified information there without permission."

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
For reference, Harold T. Martin III was arrested on August 27, 2016 after the Shadow Brokers initiated a hunt within the National Security Agency, where they found 16 years worth of classified information.

Since @jimsciutto doesn't understand that Christopher Steele was hired in June 2016 and the contract between Fusion GPS and Free Beacon ended before then, and that the first memo was written for June 20, 2016, I will explain it:

Christopher Steele was hired to write the dossier.
The fact that @CNN and @jimsciutto keep saying that Republicans funded the dossier would join with @Comey's idea that Republicans funded the dossier, which is completely incorrect.
You know, it's not the first time @jimsciutto has claimed that parts of the dossier have been verified. This was back in February 2017 though. I wonder who his source is?

"The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI's Cyber Division and its Washington Field Office, the DOJ's National Security Division, and US Attorney's Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation..."
"... but the FBI never requested access to the DNC's computer servers", Eric Walker, the DNC's deputy communications director, told BuzzFeed News in an email.

Quote is from Ali Watkins' BuzzFeed News article from January 4, 2017, "The FBI Never Asked For Access To Hacked Computer Servers".

 First some qualifications. I am first and foremost a financial economist, and by nature and study, fiscally conservative. Most finance academics are.

I care deeply about fiscal and monetary policy, but not obtuse enough to believe my opinion is always right

🔥Trump asked #Russia🇷🇺to dig up dirt on Hillary Clinton and hired an Israeli spy firm to slime Obama aides who worked on the #Iran deal.🤨

It is ILLEGAL for campaigns to get donations (including free “in kind” services) or to pay FOREIGN entities‼️

theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
⬛️BLACK CUBE⬛️

I wonder if the “Israeli spy firm” that Trump’s campaign allegedly hired (ILLEGALLY) was Black Cube, the same shady outfit hired by Robert Mercer and Harvey Weinstein to INTIMIDATE people‼️

Regardless of WHO paid — Trump himself (unlikely), his campaign (ILLEGAL), or the US government (#corruption) — if Trump really did attempt to hire FOREIGN intel-related operatives to **spy on US citizens**, this would be BEYOND Nixonian‼️

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Simpson says his work on the #SteeleDossier began in Sept/Oct 2015.🤔

Feinstein staffer Heather Sawyer asks WHO initially engaged Fusion to perform the opposition colonoscopy on @realDonaldTrump, says it was a REPUBLICAN‼️
