      So if Steele admits that his sources would deny what he reported them to have said, would that be the same as him Steele saying we can't verify his claim?

      Turn you're thinking right side for a second. If Steele or Fus GPS can now verify those claimes in the Dossier, then he should just go show that verification to Mueller. They can't verify it and can't even stand in court behind it. That's because it's unverifiable.

      Steele might not have used that exact word, "unverifiable", but that's basically what he admitted. Right?

      No. Not right. Totally different words, and meaning, as I already noted twice. So you're conceding that one is wrong. How about who paid for the Gubarev report? Utterly central to everything else you said. Who paid for it?

      I concede that I don't if Steel ever used the word "unverifiable." But I think he said in different words, that we wouldn't be able to verify certain claims. Now, is that really what you hang your argument on, is if Steele used that exact word?

      A word that meant the same thing wouldn't be a bad start. But you don't have one. And, as others have pointed out to you, Steele actually believes most of it IS verified. Back to the Gubarev report. Who paid for it?

      Steele does not believe that most of it IS verified. Here's what the National Review article states that Steele agreed the dossier was based on bits of “raw intelligence” that were “unverified” and that he passed along because they “warranted further investigation.”

      Stop quoting the National Review article that provides no sourcing or fullmcontext for their claims about what Steele has said. It makes you look foolish.

      Nonsense. The FBI officially stopped using Steele as a source because he he lied about leaking information to the press. That's what the FBI thought of Steele's reliability. But why would Steele leak to the press if he thought those claims "warranted further investigation?"

      And why would Bruce Ohr continue to feed information from Steel's dossier after the FBI officially stopped using him as a source? Why wouldnt't Bruce Ohr not realize his own conflict of interest with his wife working and being paid by Fusion GPS to get info from steele?

      Hi. You've made errors, again, that arise from your inability to read that primary document and figure out who paid for the Gubarev doc. Give up?
