Aaron Korewa. Visiting fellow at the McC Institute.
https:// www. mccaininstitute.org/staff/aaron-korewa/
Came on board there April 1st 2016. https:// frivarld.se/nyheter/arets-capitoliumstipendiat/
Prior work? Political advisor for Carl Bildt, the former PM of Sweden who has been VERY vocal about Russian interference in Ukraine. Carl Bildt, is also Board Advisor to LetterOne, the company owned by Mikhail Fridman and Pytr Aven, the two oligarchs named in the Steele dossier.
Carl Bildt and Sir Andrew Wood (the go between of McCain and Steele on the Trump dossier) both are vocal critics of Russian interference in the Ukraine and have reason to want to paint Russia as interferers.
Aaron Korewa, prior to McCain institute fellowship, wrote many articles critical of Russia such as the following.

But don’t bother going to the links- they are all 404’d now. But… thanks WAYBACK MACHINE!
So now you have a former associate of Carl Bildt joining McCain Institute in April of 2016 with pro- Ukraine views / anti-Russian views. Months later, McCain just happens to get fed a copy of dossier that is anti-Trump / anti-Russian and pro Ukraine, through a pro-Ukraine Brit (Wood) and the dossier specifically calls out oligarchs associated with Korewa’s former boss, who, as of today, will likely benefit legally from the smear campaign.
So should we look closer at Aaron Korewa, his relationship with Carl Bildt (a definite anti-Trump Euro), and how McCain ACTUALLY got his hands on the dossier?
