  • Kremlin accused of laying false trail linking Sergei Skripal to ex-MI6 officer behind Trump dossier - Robert Mendick, The Telegraph, January 20, 2019
    Russian intelligence created a false trail linking the double agent Sergei Skripal to the former MI6 officer behind the Trump dossier before carrying out the Salisbury nerve agent attack, the Telegraph has been told.
    Well-placed sources now believe that the plot to kill Col Skripal may have included a ‘black ops’ attempt to sow doubt on the veracity of the explosive dossier that claims Donald Trump received Kremlin backing. The year before the attempted assassination of Col Skripal, a mysterious post on LinkedIn suggested his MI6 handler, who is not being named, worked as a “senior analyst” at Orbis Business Intelligence, the firm that produced the Trump dossier. Orbis was co-founded by Christopher Steele...
    But a number of sources said the Linkedin profile was false – if it ever existed at all – and that the MI6 handler never worked for Orbis.
    It is now suspected that the Linkedin profile was created by the GRU, the Russian military intelligence unit that tried to kill Col Skripal.
    One reason might be to connect MI6 to Skripal's murder and to flag the possibility that the British secret service was behind the Trump dossier.
