"as a bombastic president-elect continued to let loose with indignant tirades about “fake news”; as internal-security agents of the F.S.B., the main Russian espionage agency, were said to have burst into a meeting of intelligence officers, placed a bag over the head of the deputy director of its cyber-activities, and marched him off; as the body of a politically well-connected former F.S.B. general was reportedly found in his black Lexus—Christopher Steele had gone to ground."

There is a long trail of dead Russians around the world... most of them either current or former FSB agents AND diplomats. And they became dead or disappeared right after the "Dossier" went public in a big way.

This is important to remember. They likely DIED as a result of talking to Christopher Steele. And, if the dossier was fake info fed to Steele to muddy the waters... would there have been a reason to kill off all of these people?
