    Durham is right to be very careful. I remember all the outcry about how the Mueller Report was mischaracterized when it first came out and I give Durham credit for being cautious and wanting to make sure his findings aren't mischaracterized.

    I love how Trump's working with Russia and the fact that was coming to light gets converted to "how dare they spy on my campaign" lol.

    Pure ignorance. An intelligence dossier, by definition, doesn't claim to present truth or facts. So saying it lied is just so far off base as not to be relevant.

    You've been schooled on this before. Stop playing dumb.

    Agreed. And that's the thing we keep going over again and again. There is need to be stressed over the Steele dossier if people bothered to take advantage of all the opportunities presented to clear up the misunderstanding.

    Yet people continue to be 'ignorantly' touchy about the Steele Dossier.

    I don't know. You can lead a horse to water...

    Seems like you are also ignorant of what actually intelligence is. Intelligence isn’t prosecuted and convicted crimes. It’s an assessment of likelihoods based on second hand accounts and some un tested physical or evidence.

    Some of the Dossier checked out (see Trump tower Moscow). Some was murky untested 2nd accounts (pee tape rumor that really was about Trumps trip in Vegas and his Moscow trip confused together).

    Thank you @Sweet Lou 4 2 , @FranchiseBlade , and @dobro1229 for your implicit acknowledgement that the Steele Dossier is, was a complete fabrication, and all we’re debating now is whether completely made up **** counts as “intelligence “

    bravo, and we’ll done all around.
