Hilarious Daily Mail smear against MI6 agent who exposed Trump

running covert operations against the Russian state

So covert in fact, that a SJW with Trump derangement syndrome knows all about them!

I don't think it's a surprise that British intelligence did run (and probably still runs) covert ops against Russia.

Agreed.

However, the OP made a specific claim:

Mr Steele, who spent decades serving his country and running covert operations against the Russian state

Sources say that he ran MI6's Russia desk. And he certainly seems to have some knowledge of working with the Russians - which would explain why he was selected to take a leading role in the Litvinenko investigation.

In any event - your opinion on Steele's credibility counts for little. US Intelligence have corroborated some of the contents of his dossier and the investigation looks set to continue.

Part of me wonders whether there was any need for this dossier. Trump and his team are doing a good job of showing themselves up to be utter morons!

You seem to be confused. Steele ran MI6's Russia desk.

OK, you have a link to a credible source to prove that?

So now you're changing your position. Before you implicitly accepted he ran the Russia desk but then claimed that somehow we couldn't possibly know if he was involved in running covert operations against the Russian state. Now you know that's a preposterous position which would make you look even stupider than you already do, and expose you to even more contempt than that in which you're already held by intelligent TSRians, you change tack and imply that we don't know he ran the Russia desk?

Okkkaaayyyy

No link then.

What a surprise.

You're right. Christopher Steele wasn't an MI6 agent. He's never stepped foot in Russia.

Mr Steele worked in IT. One night, at a pub, he bet with his friends that he could, somehow, convince MI6 that he has experience of working with the Russians. By doing this, he'd be assigned to a highly involved position on a major investigation into Russian involvement in the death of a former KGB spy.

The plan was that he'd get the job, LOLs would be had and that would be it.

Steele went a bit too far. Managed to be very good at what he did - so much so that people in the intelligence community rated him highly. He set up his own business and got contracts - through sheer luck - on big jobs. Like corruption in the World Cup bidding process and the Trump/Putin relationship.

His mates (who still go to the Red Lion every Friday) agree it's all gone too far.

But yes, Coolio. You are right. Steele has no status whatsoever.

This Daily Fail smear is so hilariously desperate

Apparently the highly-respected former MI6 officer, Mr Steele, who spent decades serving his country and running covert operations against the Russian state before investigating the Trump-Kremlin connection, said something mean to someone at Cambridge 32 years ago. The butthurt source of the story, a Mr Forman, apparently never got over it.

In the real world your claims will be questioned, and you will be asked to provide credible evidence.

Shame you don't apply this standard to Trump!

- Trump makes accusations of voter fraud: no evidence provided
- Trump gets upset at the poor turnout for is inauguration: makes up 'alternative facts' to cope
- Trump struggles to justify his muslim ban: creates a massacre which never happened to help out
- Trump seeks to call out media on their coverage of Terror attacks: produces a list including made up events and widely reported terror attacks
- In a further attempt to call out the press Trump made pretended that the murder rate was the highest it had been in 47 years.

Can't help yourself can you?

When have i even discussed any of the above, exactly?

You and Alex need to understand these simple truths:

The real world isn't like your weekly meeting of Teens With Acne Against Trump were anything bad said about Trump is accepted as gospel.

In the real world your claims will be questioned, and you will be asked to provide credible evidence.

Sorry, but real life isn't like a TWAAT meeting.
