The man who says he acted as a messenger last year to inform John McCain about the garbage dossier spoke exclusively to Fox News’ Catherine Herridge.
Fox News reported:
Fox News spoke to Wood at the 2017 Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada. As Britain’s ambassador to Moscow from 1995-2000, Wood witnessed the end of Russian President Boris Yeltsin and the rise of Vladimir Putin.
“My mission was essentially to be a go-between and a messenger, to tell the senator and assistants that such a dossier existed,” Sir Andrew Wood told Fox News in an exclusive interview with senior executive producer Pamela K. Browne.
In August 2016, “[Steele] came to me to tell me what was in it, and why it … was important,” Wood said. “He made it very clear … yes, it was raw intelligence, but it needed putting into proper context before you could judge it fully.”
August 2016 is a very important date because this was right after the FBI opened a probe into so-called Russian meddling according to a March testimony by Comey. Former FBI Director James Comey had also just exonerated Hillary Clinton of the email investigation for the first time.
Wood confirmed that ‘Steele had been in contact with the FBI at the time’, Herridge reports.
Three weeks after Trump won the presidential election, at the Canadian security conference, the details were finalized for the dossier hand-off to McCain.
Along with the senator, Wood and McCain Institute for International Leadership staffer David J. Kramer attended the Canadian conference.
British court records state McCain ordered Kramer to get a personal briefing from Steele in Surrey, just outside of London, and then return to Washington, D.C., where Fusion GPS would provide McCain with hard copies.
In January, McCain then gave the dossier to the FBI. The FBI already had a copy from Christopher Steele but now they were receiving a copy from a sitting Senator, giving it more credibility.
