Why would anyone be trying to kill Christopher Steele and why would he have to go into hiding to stay alive unless everything he is saying is true?
From my point of view he would be killed only to Silence him from being interviewed by the Press all over the world in videos and in print. Because the information in his dossier about Trump actually came from Russian secret agents. It wasn't made up at all unless the Russians made it up. This is something most people don't know about all this.
So, there must be some truth to all this or else he wouldn't have to go into hiding.

Early life and education
Christopher David Steele was born in Aden, Federation of South Arabia on 24 June 1964.[1][5] He attended Girton College, Cambridge, wrote for Varsity[6] and in the Easter term of 1986 was President of The Cambridge Union.[7] He was known as a "confirmed Socialist" at that time,[5][8] and graduated with a degree in Social and Political Sciences in 1986.[9]Career
From 1990 to 1993, Steele worked under diplomatic cover as an MI6 agent in Moscow, serving at the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Moscow.[10][1] Steele's identity as an MI6 officer was one of 115 names Her Majesty's Government attempted to suppress through a DSMA-Notice.[11][12] He returned to London in 1993, and remained there until his posting to Paris in 1998,[10][13][14] then Bangkok, Thailand.[15] In 2003, Steele was sent to Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan as part of an MI6 team, briefing Special Forces on "kill or capture" missions for Taliban targets, and also spent time teaching new MI6 recruits.[10]Steele's expertise on Russia remained valued, and he was selected as a senior officer by John Scarlett, Chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) from 2004 to 2009.[16] Steele was involved in the investigation of the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006.[10]
In March 2009, Steele left MI6, and with fellow MI6 operative Chris Burrows co-founded Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd., based in Grosvenor Square Gardens near Buckingham Palace.[17] Orbis was hired by The Football Association, Britain's domestic soccer governing body, to investigate corruption at FIFA. The British Football Association had hoped to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cups. Steele provided information about FIFA corruption allegations to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[18]
2017 Trump dossier
Main article: Donald Trump Russia dossier
Further information: 2016 United States election interference by Russia § Briefing on alleged Trump dossier
In June 2016, Steele was hired to investigate the Russia-related activities of Donald Trump by FusionGPS, a Washington, DC-based political research firm, on behalf of unidentified Republicans and Democrats[19] who wanted to stop Trump's bid for the presidency. His findings, compiled in a dossier, were later revealed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[20] The dossier allegations raised questions about the ability of Donald Trump to act independently from Russian influence.[20] The dossier was first published by BuzzFeed on 10 January 2017, ten days before Trump’s inauguration. Trump vigorously denied the dossier’s allegations, calling it "fake news" during a press conference. Russia has also dismissed the claims.Compromised identity
The progressive American news magazine Mother Jones wrote about the dossier on 31 October 2016, but did not publish it, nor disclose Steele’s identity.[20] On 11 January, 2017, The Wall Street Journal revealed that Steele had allegedly authored a controversial dossier on United States President-elect Donald Trump, citing "people familiar with the matter."[4] Although the dossier's existence had been "common knowledge" among journalists for months at that point, the Telegraph asserted that Steele's anonymity had been "fatally compromised" after CNN published his nationality.[21]The Independent reported that Steele had fled his home in England several hours before the his name was published as the author of the dossier, as he was fearful of retaliation by Russian authorities.[21] In contrast, The Washington Post reported that he fled his home after he had been identified earlier in the day by the initial Wall Street Journal report.[22]
Details of authorship
Steele co-founded Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd. and was working for the company at the time the dossier was created. Orbis director Christopher Burrows would not "confirm or deny" that Orbis had produced the dossier.[23] According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Steele's services had been retained by private American research firm FusionGPS in early June 2016 for opposition research into Donald Trump's activity in Russia and Europe. The research was first financed by a Republican source, then later, a Democratic one.[19]Sir Andrew Wood, British ambassador to Moscow from 1995 to 2000, met with U.S. Senator John McCain at the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada in November 2016,[24] and vouched for Steele’s professionalism and integrity. McCain, the chair of the U.S. Senate armed forces committee, was concerned by the Trump dossier and met personally with FBI Director James Comey to pass on the information.[25]
