excerpt gets to the crux of the matter...
"The allegations against Danchenko make the sourcing of Steele’s reports look more “troubling,” said John Sipher, who served the CIA in Moscow around the same time Steele was stationed there in the early 1990s. But he also stressed that Steele’s overall thesis — that Russia was attempting to influence the election — has been substantiated by the U.S. intelligence community."
That's all Mr. Steele was trying to convey...Russia was working to get their favorite...Donald Trump...elected...and numerous subsequent interactions with the Trump campaign, indictments and convictions bear that out.
You are definitely on the wrong side of this...what true American would look favorably on Vladimir Putin's choice for President?
