| [Independent] A former British spy was paid more than £125,000 to outline Russian financial and personal links to Donald Trump’s election campaign. Fusion GP, a Washington DC based research firm, hired former MI6 officer Christopher Steele to collect information about the US President and his advisers. A total of $168,000 (£126,000) was paid to Orbis Business Intelligence, Mr Steele’s company, to produce the "Trump dossier", Fusion GPS said in a statement. Jumping down a bit to..... "national security concerns." According to his court papers, Mr Steele decided to hand the dossier over "on a confidential basis in hard copy form" to the British intelligence services because it "had implications for the national security of the US and the UK", as well as being "of considerable importance in relation to alleged Russian interference in the US presidential election". |

| #2 WAPO - FBI once planned to pay former British spy who authored controversial Trump dossier Steele was familiar to the FBI, in part because the bureau had previously hired him to help a U.S. inquiry into alleged corruption in the world soccer organization FIFA. The FBI sometimes pays informants, sources and outside investigators to assist in its work. Steele was known for the quality of his past work and for the knowledge he had developed over nearly 20 years working on Russia-related issues for British intelligence. The Washington Post was not able to determine how much the FBI intended to pay Steele had their relationship remained intact. Emphasis added The FBI discovered Steele was connected to the DNC and did not wish to inhibit those ongoing efforts, knowing full well they'd soon receive info-copies ? |

| #1 But, but, but I thought Mr. Steele was "retired" from MI6? Did they too have a dog in the fight, or was this a 'back door' (cover for action) and plausible entry point for U.S. Intelligence agencies ? |
