And the noose continues to tighten....Steele cannot hide forever, can he?
Anyone care to bet that Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska , Mueller's BUDDY, ends up being a MAJOR FIGURE in the entire dossier outrage?
Christopher Steele, Trump dossier author and ex-spy, under fire
In a London courtroom this week, lawyers for Christopher Steele, the former British spy and author of the Trump dossier, fought to protect his sources, which claimed the Kremlin had salacious and compromising information on Donald Trump.
In March, Steele was ordered (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/16/christopher-steele-must-appear-for-dossier-deposition-in-british-court.html) by the English High Court to appear for an upcoming videotaped deposition in London to be used as trial testimony in ongoing civil litigation against Buzzfeed for publishing the unverified dossier.
Buzzfeed, the online publication, is being sued by Russian businessman Aleksej Gubarev in the UK and in Florida for publishing the dossier prepared by Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, that named companies owned by Gubarev, a technology executive.
In the complex litigation, Buzzfeed, according to the Times of London, (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trump-dossier-spy-fights-to-keep-his-source-secret-v9ztv9g9k) is now seeking to quiz Steele on "the dossier as a whole," which is a change in tactics.
"Shameful" was the word quoted by the British newspaper, attributing it to an anonymous associate of Steele's company. Steele's colleague, Chris Burrows, Director of Orbis, declined to answer Fox News' email questions, responding that "I regret that for a variety of reasons, I can offer no comment on any of the questions raised."
Steele was paid $168,000 by Glenn Simpson's company Fusion GPS for the series of memos containing information that was selectively briefed to journalists approved by Simpson and used by the FBI. The entire 35 pages of Steele memos was published by Buzzfeed in January 2017. Simpson's Fusion GPS was paid through law firm Perkins Coie, whose client was the DNC and the Clinton campaign.
Fray-Witzer alleged that "Buzzfeed wants to pretend that it was reporting on some government investigation. It wasn't. The Dossier wasn't some government report, it was a bunch of memos written by a private opposition research firm hired to try to find dirt. And when Buzzfeed threw it up on the internet, they weren't publishing the Pentagon Papers, they were doing exactly what they admitted they were doing - publishing salacious, unverified information because they thought people would click on it. If you publish clickbait you should own up to it and not pretend it's journalism."
