FULL TITLE: UK ambassador vouched for 'legit' dossier author, said Trump killed Iran deal to spite Obama, leaks show

President Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal last year in an act of "diplomatic vandalism" to spite Barack Obama, according to a new leaked diplomatic cable purportedly written by British ambassador Kim Darroch in 2018.

Darroch also reportedly told a U.S. official that Christopher Steele, the author of the discredited anti-Trump dossier that the FBI used to justify secretly monitoring members of the Trump team, was "absolutely legit." Steele, in producing the dossier and several of its false or unsubstantiated claims, was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee.

The documents was published by the The Mail on Sunday, days after the paper published several anti-Trump messages Darroch sent to Downing Street from 2017 to present.

Numerous problems with the Steele dossier's reliability have surfaced, including several issues that were brought to the FBI's attention before it cited the dossier in its FISA application and subsequent renewals. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report made plain, for example, that then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen did not travel to Prague to conspire with Russian hackers seeking to access Democrat files, as the dossier alleged. And there was no evidence of a compromising, lurid tape of Trump, nor evidence of Trump-loyal hackers "in the US>"

Mueller also was unable to substantiate the dossier's claims that Page had received a large payment relating to the sale of a share of Rosneft, a Russian oil giant. And Fox News has confirmed that Steele provided clearly false information to a State Department contact prior to the FISA warrant being issued -- including a claim that there was a Russian consulate in Miami that was running a foreign influence operation, when no such consulate exists.

Sounds like Lil Kim was both a Globalist operative and a real _________.

Give Kim Darroch an enema and you could fit him in a sandwich baggie.

Not buying it. Iran is Muslim.
They lie even when they do not have to lie.
In any given sentence, 99.9999999999% of it will be a lie.
Shame, Fox News, shame. In any case, UK inputs right now are not much more believable than those of Iran - being that the UK is rapidly becoming Iran.

Trump is right. Obama played for the wrong team.

So Daroch vouched for Steele who produced what the British Press will no doubt have to call a “dodgy dossier” that was full of stories copied off of totally unconfirmed rumor boards for CNN and other MSM sites.

Such “great service” Daroch rendered his country eh Beeb?

“Darroch also reportedly told a U.S. official that Christopher Steele, the author of the discredited anti-Trump dossier... was “absolutely legit.”

That statement is a touchstone to gauge Darroch’s reliability in matters of judgment and intelligence. In other words, he is bereft of both.

He did it because the Iran deal was wrong and bozo the clown gave money to the terrorist loving nation to site America, and aid terrorists..

There never was an Iran deal, only Obama agreed to it, the Senate never consented to it as required by the Constitution. Once lawless Obama was out of office, it was DOA.

The author is not privy to the information that the President had with regard to Iran cheating on the nuclear protion of the deal. The UK Ambassador overstepped his authority to validate the author. This is bogus.

Looks like the proof that the US needed for this troglodyte to resign and head back to Britain so he can rub elbows with the Mayor of London as that country goes to crap. Did he fly on Epstein’s plane too?

Correct, they took the position the agreement only bound the U.S., not Iran.
