The Steel Dossier.......

The Steel Dossier.........

When Trump was mowing down the Republican field the Republican establishment hired Christopher Steel (Former MI6) to dig up dirt on Trump.  

In politics this is called Dirty Tricks.  Been going on forever.   The dirt can be real or it can be fake it doesn't really matter.  The goal is to discredit and make the problem (Trump) go away.  

Trump continued mowing down the Republican field until there was nobody left.  Then Trump turned to the Democrats  The Democrats liked the idea of Steel continuing to look for dirt and they continued paying him for his efforts.  

None of it mattered though because Trump steam rolled the Democrats too.  Steel was having such a fun time making up nonsense he kept doing it even after Democrats stopped paying him.  

Everything was assembled into a Dossier and handed off to American intelligence who liked the idea of discrediting Trump.  

Even though nothing in the report could be substantiated, and much of the fake news media wouldn't even publish it (that is how outrageous it was) the American Intelligence used the dossier to further push the Trump Russia make believe narrative.  

The American Intelligence assessment (based on the Steel Dossier) set the stage for lots and lots of investigations.

Now the Senate investigation wants to talk to Christopher Steel (to find out where all this make believe came from) but wouldn't you know it Mr. Steel has nothing to say.  He won't show up.  He won't respond.  Who exactly paid you?  Where did you get the information from?  Crickets................

Tells you everything you need to know.

"Unfortunately, the committee has hit a wall," Burr said, adding: "The committee cannot really decide the credibility of the dossier without understanding who paid for it, who are your sources and subsources."

Few news organizations and investigators have publicly been able to confirm the information in the dossier

Still, the FBI has reportedly used the dossier in its investigation of top Trump campaign officials.
