Former MI6 agent Christopher Steele's frustration as FBI sat on Donald Trump Russia file for months

[Lakhota]

We are all frustrated.

There is no MI6. You mean MI5

Both MI5 and MI6 exist.

MI6 is British secret intelligence service. MI5 is security.

Exclusive: Steele was so concerned by revelations he worked without payment after Trump's election victory in November.

Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who investigated Donald Trump’s alleged Kremlin links, was so worried by what he was discovering that at the end he was working without pay, The Independent has learned.

Mr Steele also decided to pass on information to both British and American intelligence officials after concluding that such material should not just be in the hands of political opponents of Mr Trump, who had hired his services, but was a matter of national security for both countries.

However, say security sources, Mr Steele became increasingly frustrated that the FBI was failing to take action on the intelligence from others as well as him. He came to believe there was a cover-up, that a cabal within the Bureau blocked a thorough inquiry into Mr Trump, focusing instead on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.

It is believed that a colleague of Mr Steele in Washington, Glenn Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter who runs the firm Fusion GPS, felt the same way and, at the end also continued with the Trump case without being paid.

Fusion GPS had been hired by Republican opponents of Mr Trump in September 2015. In June 2016 Mr Steele came on the team. He was, and continues to be, highly regarded in the intelligence world. In July, Mr Trump won the Republican nomination and the Democrats became new employers of Mr Steele and Fusion GPS.

In the same month Mr Steele produced a memo, which went to the FBI, stating that Mr Trump’s campaign team had agreed to a Russian request to dilute attention on Moscow’s intervention in Ukraine. Four days later Mr Trump stated that he would recognise Moscow’s annexation of Crimea. A month later officials involved in his campaign asked the Republican party’s election platform to remove a pledge for military assistance to the Ukrainian government against separatist rebels in the east of the country.

Mr Steele claimed that the Trump campaign was taking this path because it was aware that the Russians were hacking Democratic Party emails. No evidence of this has been made public, but the same day that Mr Trump spoke about Crimea he called on the Kremlin to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.

By late July and early August MI6 was also receiving information about Mr Trump. By September, information to the FBI began to grow in volume: Mr Steele compiled a set of his memos into one document and passed it to his contacts at the FBI. But there seemed to be little progress in a proper inquiry into Mr Trump. The Bureau, instead, seemed to be devoting their resources in the pursuit of Hillary Clinton’s email transgressions.

The New York office, in particular, appeared to be on a crusade against Ms Clinton. Some of its agents had a long working relationship with Rudy Giuliani, by then a member of the Trump campaign, since his days as public prosecutor and then Mayor of the city.

As the election approached, FBI director James Comey made public his bombshell letter saying that Ms Clinton would face another email investigation. Two days before that Mr Giuliani, then a part of the Trump team, talked about “a surprise or two you’re going to hear about in the next few days. We’ve got a couple of things up our sleeve that should turn things around”.

After the letter was published Mr Giuliani claimed he had heard from current and former agents that “there’s a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI” over the original decision not to charge Ms Clinton and that Mr Comey had been forced by some of his agents to announce the reinvestigation. Democrats demanded an investigation into how Mr Giuliani acquired this knowledge without getting an answer.

In October a frustrated and demoralised Mr Steele, while on a trip to New York, spoke about what he has discovered to David Corn, the Washington editor of the magazine Mother Jones. There was a little flurry of interest that quickly died down.

I recommend reading the rest of this article. The author of the 'Golden Showers' dossier seems like a very credible source. He is apparently highly respected in the intelligence community. I believe him.

Yeah this is just the beginning. There's another article called Trumps biggest FBI fanboy that implicates Rudy Guiliano and a James Kalstrom, both frequent flyers on FOX news.

It looks like commitees are already forming to do investigations into Russia and Comeys actions. There's a lot of people that know about this, and it only takes one to start chirping then they all will. Comrade Trump will have to do 3 Presidential treety sessions a day just to keep up with it.

Its going to end up being a waterboarding of the entire Republican party by the time it's over. Frankly they deserve it. They flew right over several other candidates that we're more experienced, much more qualified. Candidates that were vetted, and landed on an Ass Clown that will infect the entire Republican party with disgrace for decades to come.

I used to respect Rudy...but I bet you he knew about this and asked his friends who filled him in on the Weiner lap top information to hold the MI6 agent's report until after the election.

Too funny. Provably false reports and he was frustrated. What a fucking moron. Even worse are the morons who believed his bullshit.

Actually it seems that clueless John McCain sent an envoy to Canada to pick up a copy of the laughably salacious material and turn it over to the FBI which already had it for a freaking year and dismissed it as fake news. In an even stranger turn of events it seems the mysterious "James Bond" MI6 agent was actually an employee of the U.S. Planned Parenthood organization.

[easyt65]

So while complaining about Russia supposedly intervening in our election, Hillary collaborated with the Ukraine to do so, and a Brit - ex-MI6 agent- was trying to intervene?!

No surpruse the only intervention snowflakes are pissed about is the one that did NOT help Hillary, not the 2 who tried to help her.

We are all frustrated.

Not me.
You lost.

Yup and if this is the dossier that CNN printed its just that bullshit.

Bob Woodward called it "garbage." No sources and nothing was substantiated.

Woodward has been in the business for forty five years and he knows garbage when he sees it.

If this is Shittingbulls smoking gun then SB is SOL. LOL
