British spy behind the Trump dossier helped the FBI bust FIFA

This guy Steele is the real deal.

In 2010, Steele helped deliver information about FIFA to the FBI that eventually led to indictments of many current and former officials of the soccer governing body, as well as the ouster of longtime FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

Reuters cited “U.S. officials” in reporting that it was Steele’s “work on corruption in international soccer that lent credence to his reporting on Trump’s entanglements in Russia.” With the revelation that he was the person who assembled the dossier on the president-elect, Steele has fled his home, about 40 miles from London, and gone into hiding.

damn nervous about this,they have been doing their damnest to squelch this story. This story has gone form certain Regional News Media mostly Gannett,Sinclair,and Scrippes media companies. When they replace the real story with some Puff piece about Trump and his family of misfits that was dreamed up by Drudge or Breitbart,someone is wetting their collective pants.
