That still doesn’t make Steele a foreign government or a Russian agent. This seems deliberately obtuse. In 2016, he was a private citizen.Yes. But the alleged conduct by Trump didn’t take place in the UK did it?
?? He always had said that much of the research was unvetted.And he did wonderful work claiming that a known germaphobe paid prostitutes to urinate on his mattress. Good work. He was also offered a million by the FBI if he could verify the information and he couldn’t do it.
Durham lost that one.
I wasn't asking you to prove a negative, just to back up this assertion :I wasn't aware that a negative had to be proven.
And he did wonderful work claiming that a known germaphobe paid prostitutes to urinate on his mattress. Good work. He was also offered a million by the FBI if he could verify the information and he couldn’t do it.
He must have been incompetent and naive to fall for the disinformation, or he was just looking for dirt. Why would the Russians put out negative disinformation about Trump if he was their preferred candidate?So do you actually acknowledge that Steele had deep contacts in Russia and could actually conduct an inquiry into the relationship of Trump and Russians? (That his contacts were entangled in Russian intel who figured out what Steele was doing and fed disinfo to him is separate, but was pretty obvious.)
Who cares? The dossier was opposition research some of which was labeled unverified.That has nothing to do with Steele being unable to verify the dossier
Opposition research is looking for dirt. That is what he was paid for. Trump was the preferred candidate for Putin but Russia has people who are not Putin.He must have been incompetent and naive to fall for the disinformation, or he was just looking for dirt. Why would the Russians put out negative disinformation about Trump if he was their preferred candidate?
His sources had sources that were bad/poor? He was a bit to far removed from "the game" and didn't know which of his sources were compromised? I don't know. You'd have to look into his sourcing the the sub-sources if you want to know.He must have been incompetent and naive to fall for the disinformation, or he was just looking for dirt.
Their favorite candidate was chaos. The didn't think Trump would actually get elected (even if they thought he would be better manipulated). They wanted to see if the Clinton people would make an outrageous accusation (and discredit themselves). [They didn't.]Why would the Russians put out negative disinformation about Trump if he was their preferred candidate?
Then it never should have been used to obtain a FISA warrant or been any part of the process at allWho cares? The dossier was opposition research some of which was labeled unverified.

Besides, creating chaos is part of the Cold War.
You should know by now that it was not used to obtain the FISA warrant; at worst it was a footnote in support.Then it never should have been used to obtain a FISA warrant or been any part of the process at all
That’s not true . the dossier played a central role in the seeking of FISA warrants on Carter Page,[33]You should know by now that it was not used to obtain the FISA warrant; at worst it was a footnote in support.
Paid for by a political opponent. 12,000,000 from Hillary - and that is OK, but a meeting in Trump tower! THE HORRORS!A British agent
Yes, it is OK to buy opposition research. It wasn't just "a" meeting in the hotel, but one the campaign believed was with Russian agents. Then Donald wrote the lie himself to cover Jr.Paid for by a political opponent. 12,000,000 from Hillary - and that is OK, but a meeting in Trump tower! THE HORRORS!
So it’s okay to pay someone else to meet with Russian agents on your behalf?Yes, it is OK to buy opposition research. It wasn't just "a" meeting in the hotel, but one the campaign believed was with Russian agents. Then Donald wrote the lie himself to cover Jr.
The Trump tower meeting supposedly was for finding dirt on Hillary. In other words opposition research.Yes, it is OK to buy opposition research. It wasn't just "a" meeting in the hotel, but one the campaign believed was with Russian agents. Then Donald wrote the lie himself to cover Jr.
By receiving information from RussiaThe Trump tower meeting supposedly was for finding dirt on Hillary. In other words opposition research.
Hillary paid a foreign source 12,000,000 for dirt on Donald Trump to interfere with his campaign. The foreign source used Russian disinformation as part of a de bunked and unsubstantiated dossier. The dossier was used as part of a base to begin investigating Trump AssociatesBy receiving information from Russia
"The emails showed how the president’s oldest son had accepted a meeting with a Russian lawyer with the promise of receiving dirt on his father’s opponent, Hillary Clinton. Not only that, he’d been told the dirt was part of the Russian government’s ongoing support for his father.
“I love it,” Trump Jr. had replied."

If she did it was a private amusement. None of the info gathered by Steele was ever used in the campaign.I’m sure she loved every minute of it.
Fusion GPS was not directed to meet with Russian agents nor were they hired by the Clinton campaign or the DNC.So it’s okay to pay someone else to meet with Russian agents on your behalf?
No, Clinton didn't pay anyone. The campaign hired the law firm Perkins Coie who hired Fusion GPS, which is not a foreign corporation - it is based in Washington DC and owned by former Wall Street Journal reporters. Fusion GPS, in turn, hired Steele.Hillary paid a foreign source 12,000,000 for dirt on Donald Trump to interfere with his campaign.
Partially debunked and partially bunked.The foreign source used Russian disinformation as part of a de bunked and unsubstantiated dossier.
Not really, but it was used to substantiate other suspicions.] The dossier was used as part of a base to begin investigating Trump Associates
Probably. Why not?I’m sure she loved every minute of it.
