Steele was already working with the FBI in February 2016

From the FBI Vault today

Records that he was 'admonished' by the FBI for revealing their relationship to a third party

The dump also contains lots of redacted receipts, indicating they were paying him for a long time.

>Former EAD John Giacalone told the OIG, “[W]e open up criminal investigations. And you have the President of the United States saying this is just a mistake…. That’s a problem, right?”

I bet he's got some good stories to tell.

Mostly redacted, but you get the jist that they were working together for a long time and paying lots of expenses.
