Steele's warning to back off Diveykin wasn't limited to the FBI:
"The new Duma position gave him diplomatic immunity, at least in the Russian government's eyes, making it more difficult for the USG or other foreign governments to detain or question him were he to travel abroad"
The FBI's "corroboration" for Steele's claim of diplomatic immunity for Diveykin is a United Nation's treaty from 1961.
Steele's memo suggested that Diveykin might think about traveling abroad, as part of his new duties as a so-called Duma-appointed charge d'affaires.
Did he?
"A chargé d'affaires is a diplomat who serves as an embassy's chief of mission in the absence of the ambassador. The term is French for 'charged with business', meaning they are responsible for the duties of an ambassador." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charg%C3%…
What does Diveykin look like, anyways?
Does he even exist?
We know Igor Sechin exists (the other guy who Carter Page supposedly met with in Russia).
Igor Divyekin...not so much.
@SergeiMillian, you know anything about an "Igor Diveykin"?

According to Rudy Giuliani GLENN SIMPSON spent a lot of time in UKRAINE compiling the dossier on POTUS.
GIULIANI:
What happened here is, in November of 2018 -- this is before Biden was running for President, it's while Mueller was still investigating -- a former colleague of mine called me with information.
GIULIANI:
The information was -- just to shorten it a bit: "You won't believe it. There's a lot of so-called collusion that went on in Ukraine. Not in Russia. That, what they say was going on in Russia, looks like it was really going on in Ukraine."
On October 11, 2016, Christopher Steele, Jonathan Winer, and Orbis employee Tatyana Duran met with Deputy Assistant Secretary Kathleen Kavalec at the State Department. oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/o…
The meeting was structured into roughly three equal sessions, each about an hour long.
According to Steele, Kavalec was the only person at the meeting who took any notes. ("We were not taking notes in America at all during that visit," said Steele.) scribd.com/document/47395…
"Page downplayed his interactions with Dvorkovich during his March 2017 interviews with the FBI. During these interviews, Page characterized his interaction with Dvorkovich in July 2016 as a simple introduction in passing and a brief handshake." #Woodsjustice.gov/storage/120919…
N.B. This report on Dvorkovich was only included in the Woods Procedures for the third and final FISA renewal on Carter Page.
"Yuval Weber also told the FBI that while in Russia in July 2016, Carter Page was picked up in a chauffeured car and it was rumored he met with Igor Sechin. However, the FD-302 documenting this interview does not contain any reference to a chauffeured car picking up Carter Page."
