The recently released FBI interview with MI6 agent Christopher Steele (and his Orbis pal Christopher Burrows) reveals a number of things:
The interview was after the FBI fired him for leaking to the press, which they had forbidden. They asked him why he did it. He responded that he had been “riding two horses” (getting paid by both the FBI and GPS Fusion, which was doing the opposition research for Hillary), but when FBI chief Comey reopened the Hillary investigation regarding the illegal use of her personal servers for classified information, Steele decided to go with one horse—Hillary. And, he added, they wanted the crap he had complied to go out to the press. “They followed what their client wanted, and spoke to the press.”
Steel said, the FBI wrote, that President Trump was “their ‘main opponent’ and indicated that they were fearful about how Trump’s presidency negatively impacted the historical US-UK alliance and the US-UK special relationship.”
Steele said that Fiona Hill (at the Brookings Institute think tank) had introduced him to Igor Donchenko (also at Brookings, and the “primary source” to Steele, who told the FBI in his interview that the things he had passed on to Steele were barroom gossip). Fiona Hill, one of the many very bad choices Trump made for the NSC, then resigned and gave 10 hours of BS testimony at the Ukraine-scandal impeachment trial. The FBI wrote: “Hill is one of Steele’s close friends, later described in the interview that his wife went to university with Hill, and that Hill’s daughter is named after a now-deceased mutual college friend of Hill and his wife.”
