None of that has anything to do with my post that you quoted, which is that there's still 2 guilty pleas and 2 grand jury indictments that hold up regardless of the dossier.

funhusker Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Honest question: has the dossier been "debunked"? I know there are a lot of interesting things in there that have not been corroborated, like the Russian prostitute stories. But what about the boring financial stuff? The stuff that actually matters.

It's hard to disprove a wealth of information like that, even if it's also difficult to verify it. But several parts of the dossier have been shown to be true, which damages the argument that the whole thing is a biased, partisan nothingburger. Here is a good summary of what has & hasn't been shown to be true. Bear in mind, though, that they are likely still researching a lot of the things at the bottom of that list. I've also seen a couple GOP intellectuals arguing online that it was wrong for Page to have been surveiled on the basis of the dossier because it was information funded by Democrats. That argument doesn't really hold up either - the Washington Free Beacon, hardly a liberal publication, was the first place to fund it. And the FBI trusted Steele enough to nearly pay him continue to work his sources for stuff they could ALSO try to verify independently. It's not as if they took everything they received from Steele as gospel. But it would be foolhardy to ignore it. 4 Link to comment

No, it hasn't been debunked in any part that I've seen. Link to comment
