You Cannot Discuss Disinformation and the Steele Dossier Without Discussing Oleg Deripaska
It is a fact that, starting in 2014 and continuing at least through at least February 2017, Christopher Steele used his relationship [large pdf] with DOJ's Organized Crime expert, Bruce Ohr, to encourage ties between Oleg Deripaska and the US government. That included brokering a meeting between Ohr and Deripaska in 2015, and several communications in 2016 before Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele to investigate Trump. It included Steele's meeting with Ohr on July 30, 2016, at which Steele provided Ohr information on Russian doping, details from his reporting for the DNC, and news about Deripaska's lawsuit against Paul Manafort.
