Steele is very publically a former MI6 agent, and while the British are our allies, that counts in and of itself.
However, it's also fact that Steele himself was well known to Russian intelligence, and while it's clear he was no friend to them he was a known enemy - They were specifically trying to feed him disinformation[1][2]
