They are trying to establish a narrative by releasing this to the media now

May didn’t know anything
Pretend that they had no knowledge of what Steele was up to until just days before Comey set his trap
Infer that it was taken very, very seriously

It’s classic CYA by the intelligence agency releasing selected info to the media to frame the discussion

Theresa May has the balls to tell us that we need to establish better international relations?


She will be nothing by next Thursday. As Brexit Party takes a majority of seats in European Parliament.

We don't know if she knew or not. She 's likely lying about it. Don't be shocked if proof comes out she was.

Their IC heads damn sure knew.

An obvious lie because Britain’s MI6 spy agency played a part in intelligence sharing with the US

Also, we can't forget that British intelligence officials were also notified about the operation

Seems that the British didn’t think it worthy of alerting their Prime Minister, though.


Yet our IC used it to tap the President’s wires.

Which will most likely be addressed soon.

But I just don’t see the significance of this particular story. But I’ll butt out now

That a British citizen went to British intelligence to share something concerning to him?

Explain it to me.

More interesting is if Farage does end up PM this Fall, then this will get really difficult for the British IC community as well. If that happens it means the Brexit party swept the elections and that the separation from the EU is a forgone conclusion.

He will not look favorably to the English involvement in all of this and will need Trump to help push through a favorable trade deal for the UK. Those involved will be sacrificial lambs to the US...

It's going to be publicized within a few weeks that UK Intelligence was actively working with John Brennan to spy on Americans long before US election.

That's exactly why Harrigan resigned the day after Trump won.

UK meddled far more than Russia did.

And lastly it will be THE reason that Theresa May resigns next week

A British citizen who was being paid by Trump's opposition with a campaign deadline for some old fashioned smear? Why does this detail continue to get left out?

I’m good with all of that. I’m just not seeing why I should be outraged it found its way to British intelligence. Maybe I’m cynical enough to have assumed it did all along.

I mean what does Steele think will happen? They already tried to use it before the election and it didn’t work. Trump was the President-elect st this point. How does he think British intelligence is going to somehow keep Trump from being President. In some ways it almost supports the idea Steele truly believed what he had an was trying to warn people. Or he just wanted to peddle laughable smut about the President elect

Brennan, et al. needed Steele to push the narrative to get the Brits involved. The Brits then helped setup Papadopoulos in the London Bar and again with the faux conference. This triggered the US to spy on US citizens for purely political purposes.

They charged people with crimes who were totally innocent--how does that no resonate?
