They blatantly interfered in our election for their client, being Hillary freaking Clinton, and because they saw Trump as their "main opponent" and were "fearful" of Trump presidency and what it could do to the US-UK special relationship.

There it is - black and white!

It'd be really great to know what Steele meant by Manafort getting "the whole thing started."

Hill and Igor both worked at Brookings Institute these yrs. It was Fiona who introduced Steele to Danchenko. July 2010 is when Russian spies were removed from US and also when FBI considered FISA on Danchenko. Believing he left US, investigation closed. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/steele-dossiers-main-source-was-investigated-by-fbi-as-threat-to-national-security

Orbis destroyed records related to the trips Danchenko took to Russia for this "dossier reporting" for "legal reasons."

But remember Danchenko later told FBI he “did not know the origins” of some Steele claims and “did not recall” other information in the dossier.

Steele told the FBI the FSB was able to turn an individual caught laundering money and turned them to work cyber operations for them.

He also said Igor provided info re: Snowden. ??

I apologize. Others will likely do much better threads on this than I am able to, but I'm just completely shaking my head reading this. But I'm really not that surprised.

Now we get more into what Steele told FBI re: Manafort. FGPS and Orbis interests aligned on Manafort because he allegedly owed millions to Russians and FGPS had been digging into Trump already for months. When Manafort joined Trump campaign in March, by May somehow FGPS knew...

Manafort owed this money by looking into Trump finances (which makes no sense) so he and Steele met in May 2016 to "swap notes."

An excerpt from FGPS book, Crime in Progress.

It's amazing how so many just knew Manafort would be a huge liability, yet no one told Trump.

In fact, FBI questioning Manafort in 2014 and the investigation into him later being reopened only due to his later involvement with the Trump campaign is also suspicious by itself. And don't forget the psychic DNC Chalupa chick who somehow knew Manafort would end up on campaign.

It should be obvious bulk of what Manafort was charged with occurred well before his role in 2016 election, which has always begged the question of why FBI did nothing in 2014 and then allowed Manafort to become a huge scandal waiting to happen for Trump? https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/09/paul-manafort-reportedly-under-fbi-surveillance-from-2014-until-this-year.html

Reporting by the Washington Post [2018]

It's unbelievable Steele told the FBI, not even being an American citizen, that his reaction to the opening of the Hillary email investigation made him feel like the "gloves had come off."

Excuse me - who did this guy think he was!?!
Wow.

Steele said FGPS is who pushed him to speak to Mother Jones. But then he didn't feel like that enough so he handed it off to McCain and Kramer like it wasn't all just rumor and hearsay. His desire to have Clinton win and Trump lose obviously factored in.

Side note - Guardian was happy to promote late 2017 telling readers Steele felt his reporting was 70-90% accurate. When they themselves could not confirm this level of accuracy, they took his word for it through Harding's book.

"JOURNALISM."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/15/christopher-steele-trump-russia-dossier-accurate

Fiona knew Danchenko was involved in the dossier. The Fiona Hill who originally introduced Steele and Danchenko and who gladly testified against Trump at his impeachment hearing re: Ukraine.

Here's Steele already backtracking on the claim of a tape, suggesting it would be hard to prove one wasn't doctored. And that it was more the threat of Russians having leverage on him that should be concerning.

So a tape that possibly exists that possibly was doctored or that possibly doesn't exist at all is somehow more suggestive of something than when we found out Obama and McCain campaigns were definitely hacked by China or definitely Russia (changed later) and then Russia Reset...

but no one questioned at all if any of their information could have been compromised or used against Obama for this kinda weird "Russia Reset" he and Biden did?

So things which actually happened are less serious than things which only may have but probably not?

Cool, cool.

Yeah, in 2008 this "serious amount of files" stolen in an operation they told us was CHINA for Obama's entire eight years was never once suggested by anyone as possibly being a national security risk for this country or the sitting President at the time.
https://www.theguardian.com/global/2008/nov/07/obama-white-house-usa

And yeah, those of us who realized it was kinda odd after the whole 2016 DNC hack for the whole narrative to shift to "oh yeah, that hack was actually Russia" without anyone calling themselves a "journalist" doing much more than blinking an eye. What was in these files!?

So anyway, this whole notion Russia might have imaginary "leverage" on Trump over a rumored tape no one has ever leaked, as much as he has hated, over the last four years since all of this nonsense started. I think it's worth pointing that out.

Moving on.

Steele admits he obscured timing of the reports and left gaps in the numbering system used to throw off any guesses to how many of these reports he was actually producing and being paid for, which his primary source later said he didn't recall or know the origins some of info.

For those who argued incessantly to me over and over Felix Sater absolutely had to be either Source D or Source E, does any of this sound applicable to him at all?

There it is.

Do any of those scream guy trying to license real estate deal in Moscow with Trump to you?

Emigre pension as cover?

I'm not sure what this is.

Here is Steele's claim his primary subsource Danchenko was behind the whole Trump-Russia "intelligence exchange" had been going on for "at least 8 years."

Based on everything I've seen, Danchenko never corroborated to FBI he said this.
Not sure if his info is being declassed.

Not sure what this could be about -- any ideas?

Somehow McCain had a report the FBI showed Steele during the interview which Steele had not provided to the FBI; it had instead been sent to McCain. Steele had cut out his FBI handler for that reporting. I wonder why?

That same report was for some reason his "favorite" report which was regarding Webzilla. (more on this later)

He tells FBI the report which had been oddly dated 2015 was only a "typo" and cyber-related Webzilla(?) aspect was tasking by FBI.

Side note: Due to fact this relates to Webzilla+refers to a Galkina who is apparently childhood friends w/ Igor, if anyone knows how to get around this paywall to read this entire article, please let me know. https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-in-cyprus-was-behind-key-parts-of-discredited-dossier-on-trump-11603901989

WSJ News Exclusive | Russian in Cyprus Was Behind Key Parts of Discredited Dossier on Trump

A Wall Street Journal investigation and declassified interviews point to the identity of “Source 3” as a disgruntled PR executive with a “vast network” of sources.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-in-cyprus-was-behind-key-parts-of-discredited-dossier-on-trump-11603901989

I'm not sure what this has to do with, nor do I think this is any report I've ever seen. I'll need to further dig into some of the names listed here.

If anyone has info, I'd appreciate it.

So this is where the tapes allegations were coming from? Shearer? And this guy who speaks Azeri?

What on earth is this. I'll have to dig into all of that in the coming days. I'm sure others will be, too.

This was just a whole word salad from Steele which has literally nothing to do with Trump. His lawyers and realtor sold his property, period. He never met the guy, as those who have ever bought property understand the process and details aren't shared much between buyer/seller.

Anyone else find this part interesting?

Manafort's file doctored?
Investigations needing to be justified?

Plot to elbow out Poroshenko?

Hmmm...
