6 I anxiously await the news flash that links this fellow and his "former" River House employer to the Epstein business:

Christopher Steele, a former MI6 officer, played a significant role in the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. He co-founded Orbis Business Intelligence and authored the Steele dossier, which claimed that Russia interfered in the 2016 United States elections. Steele's dossier was prepared for Fusion GPS, a firm hired by an attorney associated with the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. The dossier's claims have been met with skepticism and controversy, with Trump and his allies falsely claiming that the Crossfire Hurricane FBI probe into Russian interference was launched due to Steele's dossier.

Steele's involvement in the dossier has been a focal point of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, with various allegations and claims surrounding his actions and the dossier's impact on the political landscape.
