>Fusion GPS (first hired by Republicans to get dirt on Trump), later hired by Clinton's campaign for the same purpose, hired former British MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele...who then compiled a dossier of things he heard from many of his former sources...none were rigorously vetted for absolute accuracy...and never promoted that way. "Buzz Feed" got hold of the dossier and released those unvetted comments, and the rest is history. What is also History, is that both Mueller and a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee found hundreds of connections between the Trump campaign and Russians. Were they trading 'Faberge Egg Nesting Dolls'?...maybe, but the smart money is on the Russians doing all they could to help their preferred candidate for President of the USA, Donald Trump, get elected. The whole "Steele Dossier" affair is a footnote to History. The Trump/Russia collaboration is no 'Hoax'...it really happened.
>Hunter Biden Laptop...while the data dump has genuine HB files in it...the "Chain of Custody" for the data has never been established, and there were months where it could not be verified as to WHO was in possession of the data before the FBI received the laptop. BTW, according to data forensics specialists, there were files ADDED AFTER the laptop was turned over to the computer repair shop. Ergo, much of the data is suspect...especially the non-salacious material...and no criminal case can be built from it. It's just another Meme.
Your 'Instincts' are already, shall we say..."Suspect".
