Britain
Brits disavowed Steele...
2019-05-31
[TheHill] Multiple witnesses have told Congress that, a week before Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, Britain’s top national security official sent a private communique to the incoming administration, addressing his country’s participation in the counterintelligence probe into the now-debunked Trump-Russia election collusion.

Most significantly, then-British national security adviser Sir Mark Lyall Grant claimed in the memo, hand-delivered to incoming U.S. national security adviser Mike Flynn’s team, that the British government lacked confidence in the credibility of former MI6 spy Christopher Steele’s Russia collusion evidence, according to congressional investigators who interviewed witnesses familiar with the memo.
Oh? Then why did the British government say absolutely nothing publicly on the subject since then? Instead we see announcements that President Trump will be snubbed by Parliament and that former teevee actress who married a real, live prince.

#13  Time to dump them and the Turks.

Cut out their spy agencies for a bit, perhaps. Let’s see who the new prime minister is.

#11  The Brits get most of their information about us from the NYTimes and Washington Post and the networks and perhaps CIA contacts, and from them believed that the walls were closing in on Trump and helping him would be dangerous to them from a vindictive Ms. Clinton.
Note that Nunes revealed that the information about Papadopoulos from the Australian guy came to the FBI unofficially and not through the standard channels.
Parliament hates to admit that it has been duped by idiots. It already looks like a crowd of losers from its own Brexit performance.

#9  One example from the old TV series Mission Impossible with first Steven Hill and later Peter Graves as Mr. Phelps:

Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you are looking at is Walter Townsend, one of our high-ranking intelligence officers, whom we recently discovered is a top enemy agent. Upon learning this, we allowed Townsend access to false information which will cause his country severe embarrassment if believed and acted upon. Unfortunately, this man, George Simpson, Townsend's only contact in America, discovered the information was false and reported to his superiors that Townsend had defected. However, his superiors are aware Simpson is jealous of Townsend. The truth or falsity of this information is so important that they are sending their most brilliant intelligence officer. Stefan Miklos, to investigate. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to make Stefan believe Townsend's information. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim. 1967-1973.

The govmint must have used this series for training. Reality imitates art.

#7  Nigel Farage will have a tremendous impact in my opinion regarding steel and many other problems with the elites there. The tide is turning quickly. He will work very well with Trump.

#6  Let's see the memo. Until we do, this is retroactive ass-covering

#4  Steele's Orbis Bus. Intel is a stone's throw from Vauxhaul and the British Intelligence Establishment. To believe they know nothing of Steele's activities is dreadfully naive. Our Rep. Devin Nunnes traveled to London last year in attempt to learn more about Steele. No one in the British Intelligence establishment would meet with him.

#2  So, why won't they let Barr talk to him?

Well, you see. As a citizen of the UK he has no rights at all. But a a member of the shadow world gummint, he doesn't technically even exist, so rights and responsibilities are moot...
