Before leaving MI6, Christopher Steele was the Director in charge of intelligence on Russia after spending years as a young MI6 British intelligence officer in Moscow as soon as he graduated from Cambridge. At Cambridge both Christopher Steele and Foreign Secretary Boris John were President of the Cambridge Union debating society in 1986.
In June 2016 Jeb Bush;s campaign hired Washington D.C. based FusionGPS to investigate Trump’s business dealings.
FusionGPS in turn hired Christopher Steele in London for $158,000 due to his knowledge of the operations of Vladimir Putin and Russia's security services.
Steele uncovered evidence that Putin had been cultivating Donald Trump as an asset for five years.
Worse yet, Donald Trump's campaign was working actively in cooperation with the Russian government. But after Trump won the Republican nomination FusionGPS ended the contract.
Although no one was now paying for his services Steele became so concerned with the information he was finding on Trump he contacted the FBI directly with his work as it progressed and continued working without payment. That month, Steele handed a memo to the Bureau providing proof Trump's campaign team had advance knowledge of the Russian DNC hacking operation.
Steele provided evidence Trump’s campaign team had 'agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue and to raise the cost of US / NATO defense commitments in the Baltics and Eastern Europe to deflect attention away from Ukraine'.
When asked if he was president if he would recognize Crimea as Russian and lift sanctions on Moscow, Trump said during a press conference a few days later, on July 27: 'Yes. We would be looking at that.'
By late July and early August, Steele is said to have passed on the information to MI6 too because he believed it was of the utmost importance to British defense.
The FBI opened preliminary investigations into Trump and his entourage's dealings with Russians that were based in part on Steele's reports, according to people familiar with the inquiries. However, they said the bureau shifted into low gear in the weeks before the election to avoid interfering in the vote.
They said Steele grew frustrated and stopped dealing with the FBI in mid-October after concluding it was not seriously investigating the material he had provided.
Steele then turned to the media in October to get his report out, including speaking with news magazine Mother Jones. He met with David Corn, the Washington bureau chief at Mother Jones, before last year's Presidential election and told him the allegations warranted a substantial FBI inquiry.

In this linked article published Friday, Corn revealed that the former spy - whose work has sparked a diplomatic crisis this week - told him: 'The story has to come out'.
