"The Steele dossier undertook to answer the question “What the hell is going on with Trump and Russia?” The Senate Intelligence Committee found that the FBI investigation gave the Steele dossier “unjustified credence.” But the disintegration of the dossier’s answers has not silenced the power of its question.
"It
was to silence that question that the outgoing Trump administration
appointed a special counsel of its own to investigate its investigators.
John Durham has now issued three indictments,
all for lying to the FBI about various aspects of the Steele dossier.
None of these indictments vindicates Trump’s claims in any way. It
remains fact that Russian hackers and spies helped his campaign. It
remains fact that the Trump campaign welcomed the help. It remains fact
that Trump’s campaign chairman sought to share proprietary campaign
information with a person whom the Senate report identified as a
“Russian intelligence officer.” It remains fact that Trump hoped to
score a huge payday in Russia even as he ran for president. It remains
fact that Trump and those around him lied, and lied, and lied again
about their connections to Russia." -- neo-con anti-Trumper David Frum in The Atlantic, cautioning everyone, but especially the media, from participating in selling a Big Lie about the Malignant Loser's Russia connections based on discredited Steele dossier raw intelligence.
