Christopher Steele claims Clinton lawyers fed him debunked claim about Russian collusion in 2016 washex.am/2yU6DyR
Michael Sussman and @marceelias, two top lawyers for the Perkins Coie law firm, which represented the Clinton campaign and the @DNC, played an even more significant role in the Trump-Russia investigation than previously known.
Steele testified Sussman provided him with claims about Alfa Bank’s purported ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a late July meeting.
These allegations made their way into a mid-September 2016 memo that became part of Steele’s dossier, although Steele repeatedly misspells “Alfa” as “Alpha.”
Shortly after writing that memo, Steele met with Elias, who was the general counsel for Clinton’s campaign and had personally hired the opposition research firm Fusion GPS in April 2016 on the campaign’s behalf.
