(17,580 posts)Two nights ago she reported the misspelling of the name of a Russian in the dossier. That caused reporters trying to verify what the dossier said to not find anything, but when the name is spelled correctly and searched, that part of the dossier is confirmed.
Last night she talked about the GOP platform and Trump making sure the amendment for the US to send arms to Ukraine was tabled. She linked meetings that Manafort, who was Trump's campaign mgr at the time, had with a Russian in/around the time of the RNC and the action on the Ukraine platform language. Steele's dossier said that there was a quid pro quo to Russia helping Trump and that was for Trump to look the other way, as it were, on Ukraine. And we know that Trump and his allies have done that. So that part is at least circumstantially confirmed.
