A Cambridge graduate, Steele was one of the more eminent Russia specialists for the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). The Guardian understands that he focused on Soviet affairs after joining the agency, and spent two years living in Moscow in the early 1990s.
When the agency was plunged into panic over the poisoning of its agent Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, the then chief, Sir John Scarlett, needed a trusted senior officer to plot a way through the minefield ahead – so he turned to Steele. It was Steele, sources say, who correctly and quickly realised that Litvinenko’s death was a Russian state “hit”.
The Reuters news agency, citing former British intelligence officials, reports that Steele supplied the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with information on corruption at Fifa, international soccer's governing body.
It was his work on corruption in football that lent credence to his reporting on Trump's entanglements in Russia, US officials said on Wednesday.
The intelligence leaders responded by saying, "Well, we feel obliged to tell you, Mr. President, because you may hear about it. We're going to tell (Trump)," Biden said.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper released a statement Wednesday night essentially confirming that the report had been included in intelligence briefings to Trump and Obama. Earlier in the day, Trump officials denied they had ever been told about the dossier.

Don't bother with these right wingers. It's all fake news for them if it doesn't come from comrade Trump or Alex Jones.

...and who are these unnamed sources, again??? What, other than agenda, makes them so trustworthy, and believable?

Well if Putin was planning on using this to blackmail Trump, looks like it backfired !!
He can't expose something that's already been published
Now what?
