She said that focusing on the Steele dossier would be equivalent to going "down a rabbit hole." I didn't exactly understand that at the time, but was reminded of it when Rachel interviewed the two men who obtained the dossier for the DNC. (New book out). Did Hill mean that it was false? Did she mean that it was unverifiable? Any ideas?

(43,049 posts)A "rabbit hole" is a confusing, time consuming, and occasionally fascinating experience. Not a place you want to go when you need to get something done.

The Steele Dossier is not important. It was not the basis of the initial investigation of Carter Page. It is like focusing on the whistleblower now they we know the facts of the Ukraine situation, but even less relevant.

Funny because from listening to them on Rachel it didn't seem diorientating or confusing. It just seemed so very sad how Mueller and the FBI have hidden Traitor Trump's crimes.
And what did these loyal RepubliCON agents get for their cover up of the orange mass's crimes? They get investigated and get called names by the guy they protected. Stupid is as stupid does.

(11,309 posts)not necessarily false .. but a distraction from the solid ground. The true focus. The people dealing with the Ukraine disinformation (and extortion) .. had a completely different set of problems at hand.

It's like that.
