This dossier is a complete hoax. Ok, some people in my campaign met with Russia. Ok, it was 7 people, including my campaign manager, my son and my son-in-law. Ok, the Russians did offer to send five women to my hotel room. BUT I TURNED THEM DOWN!https://goo.gl/zvHNrq

What I primarily see are attempts to rationalize and move the goalposts.
Yes, Bertrand undoubtedly did do that. Again, there were SPECIFIC allegations in the dossier. You (and Betrand) are now saying, Welp, other facts that happened in the general vicinity are exactly the same. Truth doesn't work like that. But Alex Jones does.

No, no, no. YOU are moving the goalposts. I appreciate your attempt at being deliberately obtuse, though. All I said was that parts of the dossier have been confirmed, then you tried to move the goalposts by insisting that the most damning parts have not yet been confirmed.

I didn’t specify which parts had been confirmed, only that some of it had. You can rationalize all you want so long as you’re aware that you are, indeed, rationalizing.

I'm asking you for a single one from that article. Again, what it shows is that the CENTRAL ALLEGATIONS against Page are, if he is to be believed, FALSE. Which is the opposite of truth, in case you're catching up.

Ok. Here you go. This goes more in depth in terms of items mentioned in the dossier that later proved true, notably Russia’s hacking efforts to influence the election.http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2017/09/a_lot_of_the_steele_dossier_has_since_been_corroborated.html …

And here's the very lengthy piece where I point out that ESPECIALLY wrt hacking, that piece is a shitshow and ALSO violates key rules about evidence wrt intel analysis. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/09/06/john-siphers-garbage-post-arguing-the-steele-dossier-isnt-garbage/ …

That piece is ESPECIALLY nice in the way it says, "this 11/2016 article (which wasn't as good as a 2015 article on the topic) proves that a 12/2016 dossier report is true. Chronology doesn't work that way.

Genetic fallacy.

So it is your argument that an report in December 2016 can be proven by a report that was public in November 2016?
