Embarrassing: It Seems Even The British Knew The Trump Dossier Was Trash…in 2017

The Trump dossier was a piece of political opposition research compiled by ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele. The Democrats and the Clinton campaign bankrolled it. The mission was simple. Find dirt on Donald Trump and he used sources that are still active in the Kremlin. Sounds like Clinton-Russia collusion, but that’s a whole other tale. Even from the beginning of this fiasco, the document’s credibility was suspect. It’s loaded with salacious tales about Trump that are pretty much straight trash in the sense that they’re false at face value. It’s why no other outlet decided to publish the document in full, except BuzzFeed because they have no standards. This document is reportedly the insurance policy that fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok, former bureau lawyer Lisa Page, and disgraced FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe may have been referring to in texts between Strzok and Page with whom he was having an extramarital affair. It was also used to secure a FISA spy warrant against former foreign policy adviser Carter Page. Was the document verified then? Well, based on some of these glaring errors, the answer looks like a ‘hell no.’
So far, the FBI and Department of Justice was the focal point of the controversy over the alleged FISA abuses related to Spygate. Now, it seems the British were firing warning flares about the credibility of the Trump dossier compiled by Steele back in 2017. Steele had reportedly briefed members the UK’s intelligence community and MI6 and MI5 were aware of the document as well (via Washington Examiner):
