Your post is entirely fact free.Why did they pursue the obviously absurd Steele Dossier to such an extent? Was it merely Trump’s anti war rhetoric during the campaign or an effort to help HER and continue O’s legacy? Was there some other reason?
What does the MSM’s ridiculous promotion of this obvious fraudulent story, tell us about them?
What We Still Do Not Know About Russiagate
Vital questions about perhaps the worst alleged presidential scandal in US history remain unanswered.

Why did Western intelligence agencies, prompted, it seems clear, by US ones, seek to undermine Trump’s presidential campaign? A reflexive answer might be because candidate Trump promised to “cooperate with Russia,” to pursue a pro-détente foreign policy, but this was hardly a startling, still less subversive, advocacy by a would-be Republican president. All of the major pro-détente episodes in the 20th century had been initiated by Republican presidents: Eisenhower, Nixon, and Reagan.
So, again, what was it about Trump that so spooked the spooks so far off their rightful reservation and so intrusively into American presidential politics? Investigations being overseen by Attorney General William Barr may provide answers—or not. Barr has already leveled procedural charges against James Comey, head of the FBI under President Obama and briefly under President Trump, but the repeatedly hapless Comey seems incapable of having initiated such an audacious operation against a presidential candidate, still less a president-elect.

Intelligence agencies did not undermine Trump's campaign. Maybe we should wonder why Trump's campaign was willing to work with the Russians to get dirt on Clinton. Why the numerous contacts with Russia. Why the campaign gave internal polling data and other campaign details to a Russian businessman who had ties to Russian Intelligence. Why Russian oligarchs were willing to finance Trump's ventures.
This is just another kook who becomes a source because he is saying what you want to hear. I would love for Trump to make this a issue and see what a kook Ttrump is.
