Одно из загадочных мест в досье Стила - сведения о роли Дмитрия Пескова в российской спецоперации. Хотя Песков имеет прямой выход на Путина, он всего лишь пресс-секретарь и, казалось бы, не обладает административными рычагами власти. Однако в досье ему отводилась центральная роль, включая конфликт за контроль над спецоперацией с
Сергеем Ивановым и решение о вбросе компромата на Клинтон (вероятно почты Подесты).
1. Source G, a senior Kremlin official, confided that the CLINTON dossier was controlled exclusively by Chief Kremlin spokesman, Dmitriy PESKOV, who was responsible for compiling/handling it on the explicit instructions of PUTIN.
2. Continuing on this theme the source close to IVANOV reported that PESKOV now was “scared shitless” that he would be scapegoated by PUTIN and the Kremlin and held responsible for the backlash against Russian political interference in the US election. IVANOV was determined to stop PESKOV playing an independent role in relation to the US going forward and the source fully expected the presidential spokesman now to lay low.
3. Continuing on this theme, the senior PA official said the situation now was that the Kremlin had further ‘kompromat’ on candidate CLINTON and had been considering releasing this via “plausibly deniable” channels after the Duma (legislative) elections were out of the way in mid- September. There was however a growing train of thought and associated lobby, arguing that the Russians could still make candidate CLINTON look ‘weak and stupid’ by provoking her into railing against PUTIN and Russia without the need to release more of her e-mails. Presidential Spokesman, Dmitriy PESKOV remained a key figure in the operation, although any final decision on dissemination of further material would be taken by PUTIN.
https://themoscowproject.org/dossier.html Ныне роль Пескова начинает проясняться. В продолжение истории о
московской башне Трампа, New York Times сообщает о прямом контакте по емайлу между Песковым и Майклом Коэном, личным адвокатом Трампа.
“Over the past few months I have been working with a company based in Russia regarding the development of a Trump Tower - Moscow project in Moscow City,” Cohen wrote Peskov, according to a person familiar with the email. “Without getting into lengthy specifics the communication between our two sides has stalled.”
“As this project is too important, I am hereby requesting your assistance. I respectfully request someone, preferably you, contact me so that I might discuss the specifics as well as arranging meetings with the appropriate individuals. I thank you in advance for your assistance and look forward to hearing from you soon,” Cohen wrote.

Было бы интересно узнать точную дату письма, чтобы сопоставить его с другими событиями.
