Sir Kim Darroch vouched for British ex-spy Christopher Steele who put together the Dirty Dossier on Trump and told US officials he 'was "absolutely legit"'

Sir Kim's comments revealed in latest leaks from memos to Downing Street

Mr Steele's so-called 'dodgy dossier' alleged Mr Trump colluded with Russia to fix 2016 election

Also claimed he paid prostitutes to urinate on him in a Moscow hotel room

Sir Kim was asked by a U.S. official if Mr Steele, a former MI6 spy, was 'legit'

Britain's former ambassador to the U.S. vouched for the credibility of Christopher Steele, the author of the explosive dossier detailing Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia.

Sir Kim Darroch, who quit his post after leaked diplomatic cables revealed his outspoken criticism of President Trump's administration and personality, backed the former MI6 spy when asked by a U.S. official.

Mr Steele's so-called 'dodgy dossier' had alleged that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to fix the 2016 election and that he paid prostitutes to urinate on him in a Moscow hotel room.

The leaked cables and briefing notes led to Sir Kim’s resignation last week after President Trump hit back furiously at Sir Kim's comments, branding the ambassador a 'very stupid guy'.

He said on Twitter: 'The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy.

'He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about their failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was handled.

'I told how to do that deal, but she went her own foolish way-was unable to get it done.

'A disaster!

'I don't know the Ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool.

'Tell him the USA now has the best economy and military anywhere in the world, by far.'

This is too delish. Is Epstein meant to be a distraction from this?

The Brits just cannot get their head around 1776.

Also claimed he paid prostitutes to urinate on him in a Moscow hotel room

First I heard this. I though Trump was supposed to have paid prostitutes to pee on the bed that Bronco Bama slept in.

From July 8:

A wink and a nod from this ambassador to a high level striped pants operative in Foggy Bottom might well grease the way for Brennan to enlist British intelligence, knowing the boomerang effect of what he has generated will ultimately penetrate the FBI via the State Department. A conscious conspiracy? Perhaps on the part of one but not necessarily the other. Perhaps our ambassador is only returning a serve as any gentleman would or perhaps he is in on the plot. Perhaps he only certifies to London what he reads in the newspapers and hears over cocktails because he is conditioned to believe it anyway. His role on behalf of his government in London is to discern a coup attempt not to be duped and certainly not to facilitate it.

"The Brits just cannot get their head around 1776."

I think you might right about that.
They've probably have had belly ache
about it since then, thinking to themselves
of what could have been.

Obviously Darroch has very poor judgement. His next post should be Mongolia.

Sir Kim? More like Lady Kim LaDouche.

Probably 60+% of adults will understand this.

The % of adults understanding the vile acts of Epstein and his left wing buddies will be much higher than 60%.

[thesligoduffyflynns]

I knew the moment he opened his mouth to speak last week and put down Pres Trump he knew SOMETHING about the dossier.

Unhead for a brit to act like this......truly unheard of——one of our allies

[lewislynn]

What language is that?

[Grampa Dave]

The Brits just cannot get their head around 1776 and 1812.

They are reeling from their road to hell for most of the last century and the first years of this century.

Twitter language.

“Unhead for a brit to act like this......truly unheard of——one of our allies”

Look up the phrase “Perfidious Albion”

After reading the article, my first thought was that I wished John McCain was still alive so he could get his comeuppance too. It would be worth it, just to see his fat daughter crying on TV, trying to defend him.

I doubt the guy personally knew anything, as far as facts, regarding the Steele dossier, but out of his preexisting animus toward Trump, he “vouched” for Steele’s work, without knowing the veracity of it at all. Then the U.K. was stupid enough to make the guy Ambassador to the U.S.

If anything is disturbing the U.S.-U.K. special relationship, it has, for at least three years, been the U.K. government, and its political collusion with a U.S. political agenda against Trump.
