Desperate to defeat Hillary, they instead attack Trump.
Reverse double down spy against spy!
The Russians know us better than we know ourselves.
I believe the Russian intel people purposely fed false and salacious info to Steele, and he bought it hook line and sinker.
He most likely added to it, making up stuff, then sold this pack of lies to the DNC/Hillary campaign through their lawyer intermediaries.
The junk was then provided to McCain and co. early on.
He and his staff sent it to the FBI, Comey & co.
They then used this fake dossier to get a FISA COURT JUDGE TO OKAY A WIRETAP.
Now, Obama, the Comey FBI, Lynch DOJ and the entire DNC/Clinton campaign could get real-time info from the Trump campaign via their eavesdropping, illegal wiretaps.................
