Christopher Steele Had Undisclosed Meeting With DNC, Clinton Campaign Lawyers
[The Federalist] According to an exclusive report from the Daily Caller, lawyers representing the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign provided dossier author Christopher Steele with information about alleged secret communications between the Trump Organization and Russian Alfa Bank. Steele admitted to this undisclosed meeting in a British court during March 17 and 18 hearings.

A lawyer for Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, made a since debunked tip to Steele, accusing the founders of Alfa Bank of having "illicit" ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. This chain of events created the September 14, 2016, memo which publicized the alleged ties.

Steele was in court for a defamation lawsuit filed against him by the Alfa Bank founders.

According to the transcript obtained by Daily Caller, one week after Steele wrote the September 14 memo, he met with Sussmann’s colleague Marc Elias.

Steele said in his testimony that Sussmann told him about the suspicious ties between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank. Steele’s testimony reveals how the DNC and Clinton campaign lawyers played a large role in the Trump Organization investigation and how lawyers with overt political ties helped create the Russian collusion narrative.

Elias, the Clinton campaign’s general counsel, hired Fusion GPS to investigate Donald Trump. Fusion GPS then hired Steele to investigate Trump’s alleged ties to the Russian government. Steele produced a total of 17 memos claiming Trump was in cahoots with the Kremlin to alter the results of the 2016 presidential election.

In his March 17 testimony, Steele said Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson instructed him, after the Sussmann meeting, to write a report about Alfa Bank. It was previously unknown whether Steele was tasked with investigating Alfa Bank, or if he investigated under his own jurisdiction.

"I was given the instruction sometime after that meeting with Mr. Simpson," Steele said.

#1 I don't see the issue. The DNC hired the Paki Awan bros. to look after their systems needs. But of course the more serious charges involving espionage were labeled 'conspiracy theories,' covered over and swept away:
