So in your mind a veteran intelligence officer is an imbecile who’ll peddle a half-completed report to the media & endanger his sources,

You actually haven't read the (sworn) public record about the dossier, have you?

You begin by saying that RU was made aware by David’s report, then say they were aware before, and then say they made changes after the fact

Nonono, silly. I said it was possible Russians fed disinformation to Steele's sources. That was possible at any time, most likely after Corn

For YOU to dismiss the possibility, you have to argue RUs are too stupid to read Corn and figure things out. Of course, that's stupid.

And you believe Christopher Steele is an imbecile who didn’t factor this & was risking his sources after his work was exposed in the media

So you're saying Oleg Erovinkin died of a head cold?

Steele’s source gets assassinated & he, a veteran spy, still believes any & all info coming after that. Your theory now sounds even nuttier
