DC:
Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the Trump dossier, is hoping to avoid giving a deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed against BuzzFeed for publishing the sensational and uncorroborated document.
Steele’s attorneys filed a motion in the U.S. District Court of Southern Florida on Thursday, asking Judge Ursula Ungaro to rescind her motion requesting assistance from a court in the United Kingdom to compel the London-based Steele to testify.
Ungaro is presiding over a lawsuit filed against BuzzFeed by Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian tech executive who was accused in the dossier of using malware and computer viruses to hack into the Democratic National Committee’s computer systems. read more
Simple. The UK court assisting with getting the Steele deposition for the U.S. Gubarev v. BuzzFeed suit needs to rule that said deposition is inadmissible in the U.K. Gubarev v. Steele suit.
This 007-wannabe-poser seems overdue for one of those sudden “accidents” that befall bit players who become embarrassing to powerful “Russian businessmen”.
They will use the old kick in the shins which implants a toxic substance into the blood stream. By the time the victim gets to a hospital, it is too late.
