The Steele Dossier was Contracted by a Never-Trump Republican

In league since Breitbart with Steve Bannon, Right-Wing billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah personally placed both Fundamentalist Catholics, Bannon and Kellyanne Conway, into Team Trump and the White House. They have also been in league with Trump since the failure of the vocal Evangelical Fundamentalist, Ted Cruz, whom they formerly supported, to win the Republican nomination. One glaring irony in all of this? It was a ‘Never Trump’ Republican who contracted the Steele Dossier back in 2016, now to be used as a blue-print for the many investigations into Trump’s financial and political collusions with Putin and Russian oligarchs. It could well have been Ted Cruz, when he was flush with vast amounts of Mercer money.
The Steele Dossier, as it is now called, was prepared by Glenn Simpson and his intelligence firm, Fusion GPS. They were contracted to perform the investigation on Trump’s ties to Russian corruption. Fusion GPS sub-contracted former British MI6 intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, to prepare the bulk of the dossier. Steele is universally respected and has been found to be absolutely reliable. All of the allegations contained within the dossier that have been investigated so far have been proven accurate.
Steele went into hiding after the dossier was revealed, which indicates he knows he could be assassinated like the 8 others who had first-hand knowledge of the allegations, and who could be called to testify. “Christopher Steele was wise to go into hiding. When Clint Watts testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee he said, ‘Follow the trail of dead Russians.’” Watts is former FBI, now in Cyber security. ( Sian Barbara Allen, August 27, 2016.)
Putin was pretty vigilant in killing all possible witnesses to collusion and cyber-warfare as he was, at that time, still hoping to have the Magnitsky Act sanctions lifted, which is how he and his oligarch cronies would continue to make their illegal billions and continue money-laundering via U.S. businesses.* The U.S. businesses involved in this long-term criminality have been shown to have been those of Trump, Kushner and THEIR cronies and political allies, including Ryan and McConnell, as has recently been revealed.
Simpson answered questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee for more than ten hours on August 22nd, 2017. He has given permission for the full transcript to be released to the public.
* The Magnitsky Act (formally known as the Russia and Moldova Jackson–Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012) imposes commercial and trade sanctions in lieu of bi-partisan Human Rights objections to the murder of the ethical Russian tax accountant, Sergei Magnitsky, who was murdered by Russian officials while in prison. He was beaten to death with rubber hoses after being tortured every day for weeks. The Magnitsky Act is a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama in November–December 2012. Its express purpose was to punish Russian officials responsible for the death of Magnitsky in 2009.
