rough goog translation:
"The roads of the American counter-investigation into the origins of Russiagate - from Donald Trump renamed Obamagate - could involve Rome. How? Yesterday, in the barrage of tweets by the US President against his predecessor, accused by the current tenant of the White House of attempting to "sabotage" his presidency by making false accusations of collusion with the Kremlin, the expert retweeted of the Hoover Institution Paul Sperry, who mentions a particular name: FBI agent Michael Gaeta, legal assistant at the United States Embassy in Rome. Sperry writes: "Gaeta, the contact of Christopher Steele's FBI", author of the false dossier on Russiagate and former British spy, "testified that he met" the latter on July 5, 2016 and ended his relationship with Steele in November 2016 in the Fd-1023 reports but Ig Horowitz does not mention these reports ".
Those meetings in Rome between the FBI and the former British spy
As La Stampa recalled last February, in Rome, on 3 October 2016, a secret and crucial meeting took place between the FBI investigators and their British informant Christopher Steele, author of the famous report on the alleged dangerous relations between Trump and the Kremlin. A dossier that later turned out to be largely unfounded and false, as the same former member of the British spying agency for foreign affairs later admitted, financed by Fusion Gps, the Democratic National Committee, the Campaign by Hillary Clinton and the Washington Free Beacon. In essence, from Trump's enemies. The FBI investigation into the connections between Trump's campaign and Russia led to the appointment of Special Adviser Robert Mueller, who produced the final dossier on the investigation which establishes that there is no collusion between Donald Trump and Russia , as also stated by Attorney General William Barr.
Steele, La Stampa recalls, after his career in intelligence, had subsequently founded his own investigative agency, Orbis, and in this capacity he had met Michael Gaeta, legal assistant at the United States Embassy in Rome." (snip)
