The nonsense in the thread OP is the reason BS dominates America today. The Steele dossier was originally funded by a rich republican. the usual republican dark money BS to confuse the easily led conservative snowflakes. Democrats funded it later but the originator is never mentioned. Why is that? Simply because truth and honesty do not exist on the right today. Politics and power are too complicated for honest review, thus America has a weak narcissistic draft dodger as their leader today. Sad. "While the most salacious allegations contained in the dossier (such as the claim that Trump was videotaped consorting with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room) remain uncorroborated, CNN reported in February 2017 that some of the meetings that allegedly took place between Trump campaign officials and agents of the Russian government had been confirmed by sources familiar with U.S. intelligence intercepts. The research was actually initiated in 2015 by “a wealthy Republican donor who strongly opposed Mr. Trump,” according to the New York Times, but when that source of funding dried up the San Francisco law firm Perkins Coie brokered a deal to keep it going on behalf of the Democrats."
