| | Steele gave a copy of this memo to a “senior UK government national security official” and to [[FusionGPS]] “with an instruction that Fusion was to provide a hard copy to Sen. McCain via Mr. Kramer.” Steele's Dec. 13, 2016 memo, also known as Report 166, given to Kramer, was also given to an unidentified British security official ([[Robert Hannigan]] or Alex Younger?), Senior Director for Russian Affairs at the National Security Council Celeste Wallander (spelled incorrectly as Wallender in the court document),<ref>https://www.wm.edu/offices/revescenter/news/2016/reves-hosts-dr.-celeste-wallander.php</ref> Kinzinger, and House Speaker [[Paul Ryan]]’s chief of staff, Jonathan Burks. Victoria Nuland received a briefing about the Dec. 13, 2016 memo from Kramer. McCain specifically directed Kramer to brief Nuland about the dossier. The extent of Kramer’s outreach lay bare a coordinated plan to widely disseminate the dossier among highly placed officials, lawmakers, and the [[media]]. In addition to briefing Nuland, Kramer briefed 17 members of the media. | | Steele gave a copy of this memo to a “senior UK government national security official” and to [[FusionGPS]] “with an instruction that Fusion was to provide a hard copy to Sen.
