While the public has heard the story of many of the interviewees before, one of the transcripts may be the most complete account yet from a key figure in what has come to be known as “Russiagate.” Specifically, his role in allowing the now infamous Steele dossier to become the cornerstone in the FBI obtaining a FISA spy warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, and by extension—under the NSA’s so-called two-hop rule—other members of the Trump campaign. That figure is FBI agent Michael Gaeta.

Gaeta was, and possibly still is, the assistant legal attaché at the United States Embassy in Rome. Until 2014, he headed the FBI Eurasian Organized Crime unit.

It was Gaeta who, reportedly on July 5, 2016, traveled to London to meet with former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier. The trip was reportedly authorized by Victoria Nuland, then-assistant state secretary for Eurasian affairs.

From 2010

Yesterday, personnel from the FBI’s New York Office met with Renata Polverini, president of the Lazio region of Italy. Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Criminal Division Diego Rodriguez, Coordinating Supervisory Special Agent George Khouzami, and Supervisory Special Agent Michael Gaeta met with President Polverini and other Italian officials to share ideas and discuss the continued cooperation efforts in combating international crime.

Digging on Steele/Gaeta I came across this.

Steele was outed as MI6 in 1999 and could no longer travel to Russia so he took a job at the Russia desk in the UK. In 2009 his wife died and he quit MI6 and set up Orbis and met Glenn Simpson.

In late 2009 Steele took on an assignment to investigate the English FA (Football Association) in relation to corruption in it's bid for the 2018 World Cup - with it's main completion being Russia. He was to investigate all the countries bidding on the world cup, but mainly a focus on Russia.

Steele discovered that FIFA (based in Zurich) corruption was global. He briefed his American contact in Rome [Michael Gaeta], the head of the FBI's Eurasian serious crime division, which led to a probe by US federal prosecutors.

Any interpretations on what this means then?
