Former MI6 spy known to U.S. agencies is author of reports on Trump in Russia

<...>

Steele was initially hired by FusionGPS, a Washington-based political research firm, to investigate Trump on behalf of unidentified Republicans who wanted to stop Trump's bid for the party's nomination. The BBC said on Wednesday, "He (Steele) was compiling this report on behalf of initially Trump's opponent Jeb Bush," referring to one of Trump's 16 opponents in the 2016 Republican primary.

The BBC subsequently said on Thursday that its correspondent misspoke.

Bush's spokeswoman, Kristy Campbell, denied any involvement between Bush and Steele.

"It is absolutely not true that Governor Bush had any knowledge or involvement with this gentleman and his allegations," Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell told Reuters by phone. "It’s nothing we’ve ever seen before."

BBC article. I still think the "Never Trump" and "Stop Trump" conservatives were very much associated with that dossier and once Drumpf got the nomination, frustration set in from Steele when no one seemed to want the info anymore.
