Paul Roderick Gregory wrote in Forbes: "As someone who has worked for more than a decade with the microfilm collection of Soviet documents in the Hoover Institution Archives, I can say that the dossier itself was compiled by a Russian, whose command of English is far from perfect and who follows the KGB (now FSB) practice of writing intelligence reports, in particular the practice of capitalizing all names for easy reference".<ref>https://www.forbes.com/#7a61a42a2254</ref>

 

Sergei Skripal, who survived an assassination attempt in Salisbury, England on 4 March 2018 "almost certainly has links to Christopher Steele", according to Business Insider.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/sergei-skripal-had-links-to-russia-expert-christopher-steele-2018-3?r=UK</ref>  Writer Rob Slane has stated: "Now, we know that there is a link between the apparent author of the Trump Dossier, Christopher Steele and Mr Skripal’s MI6 recruiter and handler, Pablo Miller. And we know that Miller and Skripal met regularly. Not only this, but we also know that there is a direct link between Steele and Skripal dating back to the late 1990s, early 2000s.<ref>https://www.theblogmire.com/joining-some-dots-on-the-skripal-case-part-4-the-dodgy-dossier/</ref>
