#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 ?

#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 ?
