Стил

[tijd.livejournal.com]

Washington Post сообщает, что незадолго до выборов ФБР согласилось оплачивать работу Кристофера Стила, автора печально известного досье. Но соглашение не успело вступить в силу.

As summer turned to fall, Steele became concerned that the U.S. government was not taking the information he had uncovered seriously enough, according to two people familiar with the situation.

In October, anticipating that funding supplied through the original client would dry up, Steele and the FBI reached a spoken understanding: He would continue his work looking at the Kremlin’s ties to Trump and receive compensation for his efforts.

Пародийный персонаж, которого играет Роджер Мур в фильме Boat trip (2002), обращаясь к своим американским друзьям, говорит:

You may think of me as simply a hard-partying old queen, but for *your information* I spent 32 years in the SAS, serving Her Majesty, the *real* Queen. I've been in five different theaters of war, done 490 jumps, 27 of them into hostile territory. I'm what you colonials might call a *bad-assed motherfucker*, who happens to be skilled in the fine art of Japanese flower-arranging!
