FBI offered Christopher Steele 1 million in cash if he could corroborate the Dossier story - even so he couldn't.
Why would the FBI be offering so much incentive to do this?
Why did they keep it secret when even this enticement was unable to prove results.
Steele was the source of the Dossier. He was also known to have strong links to the Russians and was a suspected spy for them after leaving British Intelligence.
For years, the FBI and CIA heads with allegiance to the Democrats denied this.
Trump '24 (if DeSantis doesn't run) for sure now for me. He got royally screwed by the Left, he produced amazing results despite that, and he deserves another chance.
Over and over again, Trump ends up being proven right in the end.

Difficult to fathom how someone with your intelligence was born with such horrific judgment. Truly fucked up judgment.

if he would lie about Biden. And that wasn’t cool and we know this because he was impeached.
How is it possible you could forget this?

Read Tyrone's linked Lawfare Blog
Read the Mueller Report -- both volumes.
Read the transcripts or watch the videos of the House January 6th Commission's presentations.

Steele Dossier is pure nonsense. Peddled but purveyors of hatred of all things conservative.

to get the dirt on Trump - wanting to get rid of Trump well before his nomination as the R candidate.
HRC and the D's picked it up once Trump was chosen to be the nominee / well after Steele was hired
and had most of his dossier complete.
Has zero to do with conservatism or liberalism.

Durham findings: FBI offered 1 million dollars trying to get Trump, and still failed. & then lied anyways.

…you just throw them out when you have no response (which means very frequently) because you see others do it.
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.

reached its conclusion that senior members of the Trump campaign (e.g. Campaign Manager, Paul Manafort) interacted with Russian operatives during the 2016 election. Thank heaven our FBI helped us find the truth as to what was going on and better prepare us for any future attempts to subvert our democracy.
To say that the Trump campaign was not engaging with the Russians to turn the election their way would indeed be a lie...and you're upset with how we unearthed the scheme?...what's wrong with you?
You show terrible judgement...by now, you should know that Russia is a threat to world peace and democracy....and they REALLY WANTED Donald Trump to be our president...in turn, DJT has consistently praised Vladimir Putin...even after his attack on Ukraine...frankly, you are not someone who can be trusted to look out for America's, much less the world's, wellbeing.

Then it's all good. Bottom line it's all a lie and there are still liars lying about the lies.
engaging with Russian operatives during the 2016 election...among numerous other interactions...all unreported to the FBI.
You either don't understand what lying means, or you don't care and throw the term around whenever you feel the need.
You also either fail to read explanatory information like the "Lawfare" article, or you can't comprehend what it is telling you...the Steele Dossier was not (ever) a statement of FACTS, but rather hearsay information from established sources, all pointing to Russia trying to aid the Trump campaign...and...the Trump campaign willingly accepting that assistance.

I read your link, since I had not come across it before.
Bottom line... "These materials buttress some of Steele’s reporting, both specifically and thematically. The dossier holds up well over time, and none of it, to our knowledge, has been disproven." So, that is the standard, someone documents something that may be true or false and the burden of proof is to disprove it.
"However, there is also a good deal in the dossier that has not been corroborated in the official record and perhaps never will be—whether because it’s untrue, unimportant or too sensitive."
Another quote, "But much of the reporting simply remains uncorroborated, at least by the yardstick we are using." This is what BVZ is posting about, Steele would not corroborate, FBI wanted to pay him to do so. So why are you saying BVZ is wrong about the issue. It looks like you are the one who lacks objectivity.
They are liars. The dossier is complete nonsense.
piece of intelligence that unquestionably asserts observations and comments from certain individuals are statements of absolute fact...instead of what they were...i.e. "Raw Intelligence" from trusted sources that calls for further investigation...and with the passage of time was found to be supportive of the notion that some degree of collaboration existed between the Trump campaign and Russia. It does not matter whether or not a "Pee-Pee" tape exists, or that every 'Observation' actually came to pass...what matters from the Dossier is that Russia was interfering with a U.S. presidential election and that members of the Trump campaign were aware of those efforts and did nothing to report them...much less stop them...in fact, as Don Jr. told his Russian friend..."I love it", if the dirt on Hillary could be available before the election...and again, the Senate Intelligence Committee found clear Russian ties to the Trump campaign..
Here's an excerpt from the concluding section of the article...
----------------------------
As we noted, our interest is in assessing the Steele dossier as a raw intelligence document, not a finished piece of analysis. The Mueller investigation has clearly produced public records that confirm pieces of the dossier. And even where the details are not exact, the general thrust of Steele’s reporting seems credible in light of what we now know about extensive contacts between numerous individuals associated with the Trump campaign and Russian government officials.
---------------------------
As an American, you should find fault with the Trump campaign...not the people who helped uncover the Russian efforts...and the willing acceptance of those interferences (i.e. Trump, et al). Sadly, Baron does not worry about this in the least....even wanting more of the same in 2024.
(no message)
sources he has come to trust...nothing more. Taken together they paint of picture of Russia trying very hard to influence the 2016 U.S. Presidential election...and the Trump campaign eagerly accepting that assistance...which in the fullness of time has turned out to be 100% true...regardless of the fact that not all items in the Dossier have been corroborated.
Mr. Steele helped point OUR FBI in the proper direction...we should all thank him. Remember, the man who went to a lot of effort to get Donald Trump elected is the same guy who is now threatening to use nuclear weapons as a first strike blow against Ukraine...never mind all the heinous things he's already done...and DJT has sided with him!...is this what any American should want?...seriously.
