When is Rachel going to tell us abt the Steele cyber dossier, dated 7/26, which was so embarrassingly behind cyber it should discredit the entire piece? Oh. She's not going to tell us.

Dilanian makes it clear he was getting briefing on the dossier. Which I think (though need to confirm) conflicts with sworn declarations.

FACT CHECK. No, the first glimpse was the September Isikoff story.

Rachel here suggests that Corn's post wasn't a response to Comey reopening investigation. I ... doubt that.

Hmm. By my count we heard about ~6 dossier reports, maybe. Out of 17. Why don't we hear about the other ones?

Another report -- the most dubious one!! -- ignored thus far in TRMS entire hour story on this.

It'd be REALLY awesome for Rachel to report on who gave Buzzfeed this dossier bc Steele has NOT listed them as an official recipient.

"The question we ask ourselves is why would we keep this from our audience." Trying to help out Buzzfeed's lawsuits. But
@BuzzFeedBen really underplays the obvious errors.Show this thread
