Another surprising revelation from Maddow’s documentary is that a State Department official named Jonathan Winer discussed Steele’s Trump project with the retired spy last summer.

MSNBC is constantly peddling it too the public.
They create BS scenarios then push them out there. The audience must be made up of total loosers.

Lindsey Graham tweets 8 December, with a Bloomberg tweet inbetween. some of those replying ain’t happy with Graham:

Graham: Was there collusion between DOJ and Fusion GPS to use Democratic funded dossier for political and legal purposes?
We need to know the answer to those questions.

7 Dec Tweet: Bloomberg Politics: House to subpoena Justice Department official on Trump dossier https://bloom.bg/2kyOqQd

Graham: It’s long past time for a Special Counsel to investigate Clinton email scandal, Uranium One, role of Fusion GPS, and FBI and DOJ bias during 2016 campaign.

The short video clip does leave room for the weak minded to believe it was true. I am certainly not going to listen to the whole thing..

Didnt read the piece untill your post then checked out the clip. Thats what I was referring to about MSNBC as I saw a few minutes last night and said WOW what a bunch of contrived out of context BS.

Madcow is a well documented mentally sick woman.
MSNBC is hell bent on removing Trump.
No one over there refers to him as President T.
When all the networks are running live Trump they are not.
Maybe a small picture in a screen box in the bottom corner

I haven’t seen any dates when the dossier was being shopped to the press. Articles like this suggest it was during the summer of 2016 and not at the end of campaign.

The first date that appears in the Dossier itself was June 2016. Mother Jones made sure the FBI was aware of it in July 2016.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-did-dossier-trigger-the-trump-russia-probe/article/2640470

...So the timeline is: The first dossier report was June 20, Steele approached the FBI near the start of July, and the FBI began its investigation in late July...

I am far more cautious. Remember, Hillary did win the popular vote. That means more than half of Americans already oppose Trump

The task of the presstitutes then becomes to pick off enough independents in strategic cities that Trump won to reverse the electoral margin.

I worry

Thanks for the link. Not sure how I missed that one. If despicable Harry Reid had it on 27 Aug, then it is likely everyone knew about it by then.

The blockbuster question is how does the dossier fit into DoJ’s successful application for the FISA/Trump warrant. We are entitled to assume that DoJ’s second comeback application for the FISA warrant had new additional information. Where did that new information come from?

The dossier was a little thicker in October than in June. There were something like 16 different revisions. Maybe they added a couple reams
of blank paper for added effect. Another question is whether the same FISA judge heard the second request or whether they were able to judge shop.

The thing about the left wing media is they will continue to purposely put out false information until someone decides to punish them for it.
