@RealSLokhova I've long thought that Brennan's "intelligence bombshell" was identical information as Steele memos though denied by Brennan. There's an important tracer detail connecting the two that remains unexplained by US government. Brennan briefed Harry Reid in August 2016 on supposed
@RealSLokhova 2/ meeting between Sechin and Carter Page - a meeting also described in Steele memoranda (and Sep 2016 Isikoff article). Harry Reid wrote two letters (end Aug, end Oct) which allude to this meeting. Brennan's knowledge of this false detail apparently arrived via GCHQ director.
@RealSLokhova 3/ so either Brennan was lying about not using Steele dossier (entirely possible) or Steele dossier and Brennan GCHQ source had common origin - an unknown Ur-source.
I think that you've solved it and the answer was under our noses all this time.

@RealSLokhova 4/ it seems entirely plausible that Halper concocted false story of Sechin-Carter Page meeting and seeded it with both Steele and GCHQ (and thus Brennan), using the fiction of Trubnikov being his "source".
@RealSLokhova 5/ we know that Halper concocted false story about Flynn-Lokhova - this information was not known when people did first pass consideration of Steele dossier stories. The connection of Halper to the Trubnikov detail certainly makes him
@RealSLokhova 6/ #1 candidate for fabrication of the Sechin-Page meeting detail as well, especially given that he stalked Carter Page at Cambridge symposium in early July.
@RealSLokhova 7/ once Lokhova showed that Halper had fabricated Flynn's supposed affair with Russian spy and then used press to smear Flynn, plus his known other contacts with Trump campaign, Halper's communications should have been seized in dawn raid or more.
