I seriously doubt that is the case. Why would they release a memo to the public with untrue statements, when they know there is likely more coming?
It seems Steel talked to some Reporter Iskoff who worked for YAHOO. Iskoff wrote a story on Carter page based on the interview with Steel. Other sources picked up the story line. These stories were then used with the Steele Dossier. The judges were not told the ONLY source of the BS was Steele. So technically the Democrats are correct. But they omit also.
I thought the very same as you.
I can only believe they are, like a person already too deep in the quicksand, unable to act rationally or think clearly.
They are now in reactive mode and are going to incur further damage upon themselves and maybe even sink the democrat party permanently with the American public.
