Russian Operative "Penetrated" Steele's Organization; "Dossier" Itself Might Have Been Russian Op to Influence Campaign

Two Russian intelligence operatives knew that former British spy Christopher Steele was investigating the Donald Trump for President campaign as early as July of 2016. The information was in a footnote to a Justice Department report on FBI actions relating to the FISA warrant. 

Another footnote reveals that Steele's company, Orbis Business Intelligence, was penetrated and targeted by Russian intelligence. 

The declassified footnotes were revealed by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson on Wednesday. Judging from other "footnotes" from that report that have recently been declassified, they paint a picture of a highly sophisticated Russian intelligence agency effort to plant disinformation not only during the campaign, but afterward during the FBI investigation of the Trump for President organization.
