FBI's spreadsheet puts a stake through the heart of Steele's dossier
Some in the news media have tried in recent days to rekindle their long-lost love affair with former MI6 agent
Christopher Steele and his now
infamous dossier.
The main trigger was a lengthy interview in June with the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general, which
some news outlets suggested meant U.S. officials have found Steele, the former Hillary Clinton-backed political muckraker, to be believable.
“Investigators ultimately found Steele’s testimony credible and even surprising,”
Politico crowed. The Washington Post
went even further, suggesting Steele’s assistance to the inspector general might “undermine Trumpworld’s alt-narrative” that the Russia-collusion investigation was flawed.
