How Has Former MI6 Spymaster Richard Dearlove Dodged Scrutiny Despite Links To Russiagate?


One of the figures involved in the Obama administration's "Russiagate" scandal who has largely avoided scrutiny is former MI6 spymaster Sir Richard Dearlove, who is intimately linked to several key players in what many now believe was a high-level Set-up against the Trump campaign during the 2016 US election.

Dearlove, who served as chief of MI6 from 1999 to 2004, had contact during the 2016 campaign with dossier author Christopher Steele.

On the contrary, the unplanned encounter was professional and mildly productive.
