the early fall of 2016. Eric Felton is one of the fine investigative journalists still digging into IG Horowitz's report:
"Steele received highly classified information. In a meeting that lasted nearly three hours, according to the IG report, “Case Agent 2” gave Steele a “general overview” of Crossfire Hurricane as well as more granular details of the cases being developed against Page, Papadopoulos, Manafort, and Flynn. All of that information – especially a “Friendly Foreign Government's” communication with Washington – is classified, the IG report states."
"It didn’t take long for those secrets to get passed on to Simpson. “Crime in Progress,” Simpson’s recent book about the Trump-Russia affair, co-authored with Fusion co-founder Peter Fritsch, relates that “Steele briefed him on what had happened at the meeting” in Rome, including the FBI's disclosure that it was investigating Papadopoulos.
In footnote 513, the IG report states investigators “examined whether the FBI disclosed classified information to Steele.” The Inspector General “determined that Case Agent 2 did so when he discussed information with Steele that the FBI received from the FFG, and that he did not have prior authorization to make the disclosure.”
This is no small matter. “Sharing classified information with anyone not authorized to receive it is a crime,” says Sean Bigley, an attorney specializing in national security law. “But sharing classified information with a non-U.S. citizen not authorized to receive it is also the very definition of harm to national security.”"

The FBI Agent was not prosecuted or even reprimanded for illegally leaking classified information regarding a sensitive investigation, including the participation of a friendly foreign government (FFG) to a foreign non-government entity (Steele). Steele by his own admission was simultaneously employed by Russian oligarchs associated with Putin's government and also was in routine ongoing communications with various other Russians and Ukrainians. And the FBI knew all about this.
