From Molly Hemingway at The Federalist -

"Last night the Washington Post reported that the infamous “Russia dossier” was partly funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The dossier’s inflammatory and unsubstantiated claims about Donald Trump provided the framework for mainstream media treatment of the president for much of the last year and fueled multiple investigations. Here are 10 things to keep in mind about the dossier."

1) Russian officials were sources of key claims in dossier
2) No, the Russian dossier was not initially funded by Republicans
3) The dossier is chock full of discredited information
4) The dossier was used as a basis for wiretaps on American citizens
5) The FBI also paid for the dossier
6) Dossier publisher Fusion GPS works with shady outfits
7) Fusion GPS’ ties to media are problematic
8) Jim Comey personally briefed Trump on the dossier, shortly before CNN reported it
9) Mueller investigation spurred by dossier and illegal leaks from intelligence operatives about Trump
10) The Steele dossier was a Clinton/DNC-funded operation supported by the FBI and influenced heavily by Russian operatives in the Kremlin

If the information in the dossier is true, who gathered it and who paid for it under what circumstances really doesn't make a hill of beans. Facts are facts.

The Big Question: Is the material in the dossier true...?

No, the material in the dossier is not true.
Who gathered it, who paid for it, and under what circumstances really does make more than a hill of beans.

The dossier will turn out to be true. POTUS starting up the fake news machine he and he buddies own to hide any information of it.

Yes POTUS is dirty and a liar.

You trust unnamed Russian intelligence officers who were never interviewed personally by Steele and who only agreed to tell their stories in exchange for cash? I'm sure we could put together a dossier of them saying Hillary was behind the holocaust & the moon is made of cheese if we paid them enough money.

I would say closer to total fact. While the GOP goes about investigating President Hillary.

A hell of a lot more than I trust anything that comes out of this administration, yes.

I've always suspected this investigation, nee witch hunt into so called Trump collusion would come back to bite the Democrats in the rear.

The Democrats cannot help but self-destruct, because they have no morals and karma is a law of nature. Take a look at the current ongoing scandals among liberals with regards to Hollywood, uranium and the dossier alone.
