What the Steele Dossier Got Right—and Why It Still Matters (with Christopher Steele)

About this episode

Christopher Steele discusses the Steele Dossier and its implications on US intelligence and trustworthiness.

 In 2016, former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele produced a series of intelligence memos that were leaked and widely called “The Steel Dossier” containing allegations about Russia's interference in the US election and links between Trumpworld and the Kremlin. In a highly unique conversation, Steele and John & Jerry look into the many hot-button conspiracy theories and real conspiracies that Steele has intelligence on — going all the way back to the death of Princess Diana and through Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement with Russian espionage. And how Trump’s behavior has made America so untrustworthy that it can no longer function effectively at worldwide intelligence gathering.  Watch Mission Implausible on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MissionImplausiblePod
