They say:


These materials buttress some of Steele’s reporting, both specifically and thematically. The dossier holds up well over time, and none of it, to our knowledge, has been disproven.

It gets a pretty good rating

Snip
Although Lawfare is known for their straight factual reporting, they also produce editorial content that frequently discusses President Trump’s legal issues and policy that may not be constitutional. This reporting is always evidence-based. In general, Lawfare is factual and utilizes minimal personal bias and does not takes sides. They clearly report on the law and how it impacts national security.

A factual search reveals they have not failed a fact check. In fact, they are used as a resource for IFCN fact-checkers.

Overall, we rate Lawfare Blog Least Biased based on evidence-based balanced reporting. We also rate them Very High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and for being used as a resource for verified fact-checkers. (5/14/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 5/27/2020)
