The mystery of the former Russian agent who was poisoned with a nerve agent in a small English city on Sunday is getting more complex by the day. The Telegraph reported Thursday that Sergei Skripalwho remains in a critical condition in hospital alongside his daughter and a British police officerwas in close contact with a security consultant who worked for Christopher Steele, the former British agent who compiled the infamous Trump dossier. The newspaper refused to name the consultant, but reported that a LinkedIn page deleted in the past few days stated that he was based in Salisburywhere the attempted murder took placeand had previously done work for Orbis Business Intelligence, which is run by Steele. The Telegraph report states: If the Kremlin believed that Col. Skripal might have helped with the compilation of the dossier, it could explain the motive for the assassination attempt in Salisbury town center. On Wednesday, Valery Morozova former construction magnate who fled Russiatold Channel 4 News that Skripal was not retired and met with military intelligence officers every month.

Are Skripal and his daughter being guarded 24/7 in the hospital? Hope so, because these murderers play for keeps.
