27. Hmm. The investigation was NOT based on the Steele dossier

I think the WH wants everyone to concentrate on the dossier that included lots of truth and some disinformation.

I suspect our former allies intelligence services will come forward to say that they provided information that was even more valuable to the FBI. It was an investigation into unprecedented Russian meddling in our election and intelligence services saw it as it happened.

Trump and the WH may very well get away with it by saying they were unaware/duped. This might even have been true at the beginning, especially for clueless Trump (everyone, even some really shady characters, just love him so much they want to help out of the goodness of their hearts), but when confronted with evidence he was being used, his ego just could not admit it.

The Steele dossier is/was not crucial to the investigation.
