from the attached link....btw, you'll do yourself a favor in reading every word of the "Lawfare" article....

The dossier is actually a series of reports—16 in all—that total 35 pages. Written in 2016, the dossier is a collection of raw intelligence. Steele neither evaluated nor synthesized the intelligence. He neither made nor rendered bottom-line judgments. The dossier is, quite simply and by design, raw reporting, not a finished intelligence product...
In that sense, the dossier is similar to an FBI 302 form or a DEA 6 form. Both of those forms are used by special agents of the FBI and DEA, respectively, to record what they are told by witnesses during investigations. The substance of these memoranda can be true or false, but the recording of information is (or should be) accurate. In that sense, notes taken by a special agent have much in common with the notes that a journalist might take while covering a story—the substance of those notes could be true or false, depending on what the source tells the journalist, but the transcription should be accurate.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that Baron, et al, have gone to this level of detail in assessing what the "Steele Dossier" is all about...moreover, he/they have chosen to ignore that the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee detailed ties between the Trump campaign and Russia...also recall that Mueller clearly stated that his investigation DID NOT EXONERATE Trump, and in Volume II of his report there were numerous examples of 'Obstruction' by the Trump campaign which could be investigated further.

How could anyone, after all this time, be so wrong about this "issue" as Baron has been?...one explanation could be a complete lack of objectivity coupled with a singular hatred of all things "Liberal"...no matter what the issue.
