'''Christopher Steele''' is a [[UK]] citizen and the former head of British foreign intelligence ([[MI6]]) Russia desk. Steele retired from MI6 and founded his own private intelligence agency, Orbis Business Intelligence.
In June of 2016, Steele was subcontracted to [[Hillary Clinton]] through the American firm [[FusionGPS]] to spy on [[Republican]] presidential candidate [[Donald Trump]]. The Obama FBI had been conducting illegal FISA wiretaps on political opponents since at least 2012. Through FusionGPS's contacts in the [[Obama administration]], Steele received raw [[FISA]] surveillence information from the [[FBI]] and authored an opposition research document known as the [[Steele dossier]], with fanciful embellishments intended to impugn Trump and associates. The dossier was fed back to the Obama [[Department of Justice]] and FBI, and presented again to the FISA court as [[probable casuse]] to extend illegal [[wiretap]]s against candidate, president-elect, and president Donald Trump.
