Steele Dossier Unmasked

We know know that the stories in the Steele Dossier, a central pillar of Russiagate, came from Chuck Dolan, a Clinton political operative, and not Russian Sources, as Igor Danchenko claimed to the FBI in 2017.  Chuck Dolan was a fellow employee of Danchenko's at a political research firm.  Journalist Bernhard also concludes that the FBI knew this was false in 2017, but waited until now to charge Danchenko with perjury because the FBI leadership was hostile to Trump.

The Steele Dossier was debunked almost the moment it surfaced in the news.  Journalist Craig Murray examined the Dossier around then and found it disproven and impossible anyway.  For one thing, Michael Cohen had never been to Prague (implausibly according to the Dossier to arrange secret payments), and mainstream journalists hadn't bothered to check on that because they wanted to hype the Dossier.
