You did make it up. A guy who both sides hired, British intelligence Kremlinologist with a very credible record who hired out as a private investigator brings in a report. He has a career doing this, with history and reputation. Nothing in that dossier has been shown to be untrue, as far as we know. Yet you claim that it’s “full of misinformation?” Why do you say that? So neither of us know, but the logic of believing this guy makes more sense than not believing him. If he’s full of misinformation, then he destroys his own career. Why would he do that? Why did republicans hire him first?
from wikipoo:
Some of the dossier's allegations have been confirmed, while others have yet to be proved or disproved.
[8][9] Some claims may require access to classified information for verification.
[10] The media,
intelligence community, as well as most experts have treated the dossier with caution, while Trump himself denounced the report as "
fake news". In February 2017, some details related to conversations between foreign nationals were independently verified.
[11]
The dossier and the separate investigation preceding its creation were both part of
opposition research on Trump during the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign. The American research firm
Fusion GPS was hired for both investigations. The first investigation into Trump was initially funded by a conservative political website,
The Washington Free Beacon, before Steele was involved.
After Trump emerged as the probable Republican nominee, Clinton campaign attorney
Marc Elias hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump on behalf of the
2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and the
Democratic National Committee. Fusion GPS later subcontracted Steele to research and compile the dossier.
[12] Following Trump's election as president, funding from Clinton and the Democrats ceased. Steele continued to work on the dossier, with financing reportedly coming directly from
Glenn R. Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS.
[13] The completed dossier and its information was then passed on to British and American intelligence services.
[14]
In October 2015, during the Republican primary campaign,
The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website primarily funded by Republican donor
Paul Singer, hired the American research firm
Fusion GPS to conduct general opposition research on Trump and other Republican presidential candidates.
[1] For months, Fusion GPS gathered information about Trump, focusing on his business and entertainment activities. When Trump became the presumptive nominee on May 3, 2016,
The Free Beacon stopped funding research on him.
[2][18][19] The
Free Beacon has later stated that "none of the work product that the
Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier."
[20][21]
....BuzzFeed was harshly criticized for publishing what
Washington Post columnist
Margaret Sullivan called "scurrilous allegations dressed up as an intelligence report meant to damage Donald Trump",
[56] while
The New York Times noted that the publication sparked a debate centering on the use of unsubstantiated information from anonymous sources.
[57] BuzzFeed's executive staff said the materials were newsworthy because they were "in wide circulation at the highest levels of American government and media" and argued that this justified public release.
