"I was told about the memos in great detail." Trying to adhere to sworn court docs. Not always succeeding.

Note how Rachel doesn't tell us that reporters [Isikoff had already published off the dossier] were already being briefed in September, meaning RU probably knew if not by June 9.

Corn suggests he vetted the claims. But then doesn't describe vetting them, at all.

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.
