The problem is that it can be confirmed that they knew about at least some--probably quite a few--of the fabrications and engaged in some fabricating themselves.

It wasn't Sechin who told Ushakov in <b>October</b> [not July]. Reasoning by a process of elimination, it must have been Divyekin who told Ushakov in July 2016.

Nellie Ohr, with her ties to DoJ, CIA, and (through her husband Bruce) Chris Steele himself may be a likely candidate for that role.
