I had the opportunity to meet Christopher Steele last weekend at Byline Festival and captured the encounter in my latest Hot Type column:
He had just delivered these words on a panel with Peter Jukes and Sergei Christo about the US 2016 election:
“So the extraordinary thing in 2016, although we can’t prove it, is that it is likely that the election was swung because it was such a small number of votes - in three states in the tens of thousands - that it was actually swung by Russian interference… and the way it was swung was basically, to put it bluntly, the Russian troll farms and propaganda persuaded black voters, sadly, in the Midwestern states, to stay home and not vote for Hillary Clinton.”
I invite you to stop whatever you’re doing and listen to Adrian Goldberg’s Byline Podcast interview with the former British intelligence officer, who Trump is still tweeting about a decade after the misnomered Steele Dossier became public:
When I asked Steele why we don’t call ‘information war’ simply war, he said:
“I think it’s fair enough to keep the temperatures down on some of these things. But my fear is that our government convinced themselves, or did convince themselves, until at least 2022, that this threat was containable and wouldn't spread, and wouldn't become the sort of conventional war in Europe that it has.”
I believe the Russians throwing the 2016 election to Trump through asymmetrical warfare was an act of war, and that Russia is a terrorist state.
Have a listen to the brilliant interview with Adrian, which covers a lot of ground quickly from someone with profound experience in intelligence gathering and Russian interference.
