Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

That says the Steele dossier was "fraudulent and discredited". Did I miss something? I thought a decent amount of it was framed as hearsay and not trying to make a factual claim.
The Steele Dossier was largely validated, even the more outrageous stuff like the pee tape. It's fake, but it was a real tape and one of Trump's goons in Russia tipped off Michael Cohen about it and how they stopped it from getting out.
Confirmed in a footnote in the Mueller report of all things, that nobody read.
https://www.advocate.com/news/2019/4/18/mueller-report-confirms-compromising-tapes-trump-russia
The report found that Cohen received a text from Russian businessman Giorgi Rtskhiladze that stated he had, "Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there's anything else... Just so you know.'"
In a follow-up text to Cohen, Rtskhiladze makes clear he's talking about "compromising tapes of Trump rumored to be held by persons associated with the Russian real estate conglomerate Crocus Group, which had helped host the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Russia."
Devils advocate: It may not be “pee tapes”, it may be video of him sexually assaulting a Miss Universe candidate.
The "P" stands for pedophile.
Was exactly what stuck out to me. Don't remember when that conclusion was reached.
As best as I can remember, everything in the Steele Dossier has either been verified, or is unverified. Nothing to my knowledge has been proven to be incorrect.
I picked up on that too. The dossier was comprised of raw intel, it wasn't characterized as comprehensive and 100% accurate.
All that meticulous research and they get blindsided by “dude’s a couch fucker” 🤣
I don't really care if he fucks couches or not, but IKEA shouldn't be used as a brothal.
Oh my... I'm reading here that the couch didn't consent...
Which couch?
