Christopher Steele Had Undisclosed Meetings With Clinton and DNC Lawyers, Who Were His "Sources" For the Deranged Alfa Bank Claims

So some of his sources were also his clients paying him.

This gets better and better.

Let me guess: The original "sources" for this claim was Sydney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer, right?

According to an exclusive report from the Daily Caller, lawyers representing the DNC and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign provided dossier author Christopher Steele with information about alleged secret communications between the Trump Organization and Russian Alfa Bank. Steele admitted to this undisclosed meeting in a British court during March 17 and 18 hearings.
A lawyer for Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, made a since debunked tip to Steele, accusing the founders of Alfa Bank of having "illicit" ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. This chain of events created the September 14, 2016, memo which publicized the alleged ties.

Steele was in court for a defamation lawsuit filed against him by the Alfa Bank founders.
