Really? Seeing as it turned out that this came from a British former agent and not from the CIA.
Is that right?
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
CIA activities in the United Kingdom
There is a long history of close cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom intelligence services; see Clandestine HUMINT and Covert Action for World War II and subsequent relationships. There are permanent liaison officers of each country in major intelligence agencies of the other, such as CIA and Secret Intelligence Service ("MI6"), FBI and the Security Service (MI5), and National Security Agency (NSA) and Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).
Come on dude , change your handle to frigid, ignorant & weirdo,
.
Er... A) You're insulting me and B) you're posting something that has nothing to do with what I say. Right....
Yes, I am insulting you. But 'fess up, you needed it.
The bond between the CIA and M16 is solid.
.
Ah, typical bully response, to justify your insults and bullying. Well done.
So what if there's a bond between the CIA and MI6. I didn't say there wasn't. What I said is that it came from a FORMER British agent. It didn't come from the CIA. So, why the hell you thought to A) insult and B) say something that doesn't have anything to do with what I said, I'll never know, but keep up the insulting and you go on the ignore list.
You are mighty sensitive for someone who loves to insult our new President.
Christopher Steele the lying scumbag
The source also questioned the extent to which Mr Steele – a former MI6 officer who once worked in Moscow – would have been able to visit Russia in person.
“I would be surprised if he could go to Russia [himself],” the source said. “The Russians don’t believe you ever leave the intelligence services. I would imagine the Russian state would continue to be interested in someone who had served, particularly undercover in the embassy, and who knew where the British resources were in Russia.
“I’m told he would have had to ask permission [from the British Government] before going to a country like Russia.”
Instead, the source said, Mr Steele may have had to work through Russian subcontractors – who might have a financial incentive to please their paymasters with impressive-looking information, or who may have gossiped with other Russians keen to exaggerate the extent of their knowledge.
“I would imagine he worked through Russian subcontractors,” the source said. “We all [sometimes] work through subcontractors. Then we have to test the information they supply to us. And on a big case you should test the information more than you do on a small case.”
The source added: “I know there is a danger if you are doing a very big case and you are a small company, and you get something that seems really great, that you develop patterns of group think, and you start to believe your stuff – as happened for example with the
Niger yellowcake story [that Saddam Hussein had tried to buy yellowcake uranium for nuclear weapons].”
