In his career with the British Foreign Office, Arthur Snell was posted to some of the most consequential, and dangerous, places in the world: Zimbabwe, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq. He’s now a managing director of Orbis Business Intelligence, where his colleague is Christopher Steele. In this discussion, Greg Olear talks to Arthur about, first, the current British political scene in general, with an emphasis on BREXIT and Russian interference; second, his remarkable career, and his view on Afghanistan and Iraq; and, finally, Orbis, Chris Steele, and the dossier. Plus: the return of Jeffrey Toobin to your TV screen.
