Russian Intelligence Knew Steele Was Investigating Trump in 2016 Campaign pjmedia.com/trending/bombs… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
Two Russian intelligence operatives knew that former British spy Christopher Steele was investigating the Donald Trump for President campaign as early as July of 2016. The information was in a footnote to a Justice Department report on FBI actions relating to the FISA warrant.
Another footnote reveals that Steele's company, Orbis Business Intelligence, was penetrated and targeted by Russian intelligence. The declassified footnotes were revealed by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson on Wednesday.
Judging from other "footnotes" that have recently been declassified, they paint a picture of a highly sophisticated Russian intel agency effort to plant disinformation not only during the campaign, but afterward during the FBI investigation of the Trump for President organization
Where speculation about this has been rampant, this is the first evidence -- from the FBI itself -- that the Steele dossier was a classic Russian disinformation campaign.
