If the below article is correct, it makes us ask the question:

Why would both Russia and @realDonaldTrump fear the Steele Dossier?

(Also, over time more and more parts of the Dossier have been corroborated).

Let’s get real, Russia wouldn’t spend so much time on this if it wasn’t true, they’ve been clearly working behind the scenes trying to do a cleanup job to protect the Manchurian candidate from hell.

Trump is constantly denying that the dossier is true. Russia is constantly trying to undermine it. I wonder why these two parties would do such a thing

This story is one more thing on the extensive list of things that prove we are not crazy and that Putin is actively trying to protect his investment.

Sergei Skripal in his days as GRU colonel

Robert Mendick, Chief Reporter

Russian intelligence created a false trail linking the double agent Sergei Skripal to the former MI6 officer behind the Trump dossier before carrying out the Salisbury nerve agent attack, the Telegraph has been told.

Well-placed sources now believe that the plot to kill Col Skripal may have included a ‘black ops’ attempt to sow doubt on the veracity of the explosive dossier that claims Donald Trump received Kremlin backing.

The year before the attempted assassination of Col Skripal, a mysterious post on LinkedIn suggested his MI6 handler, who is not being named, worked as a “senior analyst” at Orbis Business Intelligence, the firm that produced the Trump dossier.

Orbis was co-founded by Christopher...

Russia wanted to reduce sanctions against it.
A Steele dossier threatens to increase sanctions against them.

Trump is even more obvious: prove a bunch of the Steele dossier and Trump is impeached and either financially ruined or very badly damaged - because his finances from Russia and the like will collapse like a house of cards.

It never was. The real meat of it is about connections and relationships and money transfers.

Keep digging.

Most of us IMHO never cared nor wanted to get sidetracked on the tapes. Even Christopher Steele himself said he wasn't sure if they existed. He said his Dossier reports were probably 90% true but there were certain things he couldn't verify.

The pee tape rumors have generated a few good jokes though, you gotta admit.

Has it? Most of it has been proven to be true so far. And more is known by Robert Mueller.

Just asking rhetorically.

Maybe there will be a couple of mea culpas penned while in a 10x18 foot cell for 10-100 years. I doubt it, tho.
