      Rachel Maddow has now been going on for over 15 minutes about the Steele dossier, with actual news involved approximately zero.

      So... since you watched it so I don't have to, what DID she say?

      Nothing. She thinks Simpson's testimony to SJC, if released, will be... something something something.

      And she's not at all curious that his funders allegedly never got a copy of the dossier but every media outlet in town did? Huh.

      Also thinks it's a big deal that Fusion's lawyers said "release the transcript," not realizing that: lawyers.

      The point is Grassley was hot to trot to get Simpson to testify but suddenly cool on releasing the transcript

      Grassley was hoping to get dirt on Hillary. He wants to pin the dossier on her and say it's all lies.

      Grassley's concerns were far more nuanced than that, and frankly had some justification.

      1) Likely at least some (esp last report, which was offered up for free) was fed to Steele. 2) More likely bc of Fusion ties to Akhmetshin.

          Pee tape notwithstanding, last report was by far the most legally damning. So fair to question whether RU disinfo.

          I also suspect funders are far more damning than Dems want to imagine, based in part on testimony fr lawsuits.

          I don't see how they can force Simpson to reveal his clients w/o revealing all of them. Steele offered his work to Congress

          You're letting what you want get in the way of reality here.

          Nah, we've been swimming upstream in the reality-based stream for a while.
