Couldn't resist the moron could we?The Kremlin was the subject of much of the dossier.Dossier Russian Sources included those that were Kremlin linked.Do you understand the difference between the Russian government (aka Kremlin) and the Russian people?You have actual link?
You do know a conservative group bought the dossier originally?
"You do know a conservative group bought the dossier originally?"
That's a lie.
Watch me shred it.
The attempted obfuscation by the Left, the Democrats/Liberals, is to point out that the firs to hire Fusion GPS was a never-Trump website, the Washington Free Beacon.
THEN, Hillary directed $ millions to that company to get the Kremlin to provide the fabrications we call the 'dossier.'
Again?
The Washington Free Beacon used only domestic sources as opposition research.
The Democrats colluded, collaborated, conspired with Moscow, the Kremlin, Putin.....to sink the Trump candidacy.
And the Kremlin was happy to do so: they wanted the candidate that they had a history of bribing to be President.
"Lawyers for the conservative publication Washington Free Beacon informed the House Intelligence Committee Friday that the organization was the original funder for the anti-Trump opposition research project with Fusion GPS.
The Free Beacon funded the project from the fall of 2015 through the spring of 2016, whereupon it withdrew funding and the project was picked up by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
The original arrangement between the Free Beacon and Fusion GPS involved opposition research into multiple Republican candidates, not just front-runner Donald Trump.
Sources close to the Free Beacon stress that the project, when the Free Beacon funded it, had nothing to do with Russia and did not involve Christopher Steele, the former British spy who gathered anti-Trump dirt in Russia. Steele was retained by Fusion GPS when the project was funded by Democrats, and not in its initial phase, when the Free Beacon was involved." Washington Free Beacon funded original Fusion GPS anti-Trump opposition effort
Soooo....only one entity paid Russia to involve itself in the election.....the DNC.
The incident that gave cover to the Democrats and gave rise to Mueller is the question of collusion with RUSSIA.
Steele was working with Russian people outside of government, such as ex-KGB.
A great explanation is here: They want you to believe Clinton colluded with Russia to defeat herself
Don't forget the FBI who favored Hillary so much that Comey torpedoed her campaign, by announcing re-opening of her email issue one week prior to voting.
But yes, its certainly likely that the Kremlin fed some misinformation to Steele, yet the bulk of it remains corroborated.
"..., yet the bulk of it remains corroborated."
Another lie I will shred:
"After 18 months of steely-eyed investigation, the only parts of the dossier that have been "confirmed" are bland factual statements -- Moscow is a city in Russia -- while the untrue parts are anything having to do with Trump or his associates.
As New York Times national security reporter Matthew Rosenberg explained to MSNBC's easily excited Chris Hayes last March:
"Both journalists and others who had copies of it for a long time have not been able to report much of it out. We've heard that, you know, the FBI and the Intelligence Community believe about 30 percent of it may be accurate, but most of that 30 percent, if not all, has been non-Trump stuff."
February 7, 2018 - CARTER PAGE: AGENT 000
“Not one claim concerning Trump in the Steele Dossier has ever been verified by the FBI, according to Andrew McCabe himself in recent testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. The only confirmed fact is unsurprising: former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page traveled to Moscow on his own dime and met with various Russians—all perfectly legal.
Comey and then-CIA Director John Brennan laundered the Steele Dossier through the U.S. intelligence community to give it an aura of credibility and get it to the press. It was also used by the FBI and senior DOJ officials to secure wiretap warrants from a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court. Then its contents, via court-authorized FISA warrants, were used to justify the illegal unmasking of the identities of wiretapped Trump officials.”
The Politicization of the FBI
“Agents did not believe that either the source or Mr. Steele was deliberately inventing things, according to the former official. How the dossier ended up loaded with dubious or exaggerated details remains uncertain, but the document may be the result of a high-stakes game of telephone, in which rumors and hearsay were passed from source to source.” Mueller Report Likely to Renew Scrutiny of Steele Dossier
The purpose was to
a. sink Trump
b. elect Hillary
c. influence morons like you.
So a 10 year Moscow mi6 guy is wrong?
I thought nothing said had been proven wrong.
Maybe we should list his actual claims/points.
I'll try to wade through your message
