You wrote, “the numbering of the dossier by itself makes it clear it’s not the complete dossier.” According to Steele, he produced 16 preelection memoranda and pursuant to his contract with Fusion. With the December memorandum, all are accounted for. It is complete.

Sorry. Feinstein has made it clear it's not the complete dossier. Of course, that makes sense bc the Steele contributions were just one part of the dossier. So no. It is not complete. But thanks for trying.

The “dossier” only refers to the doc published by Buzzfeed, which consists only of Steele’s reports. You seem to be conflating that with the oppo Fusion would have produced for Elias, which would have included info from Steele but not his actual reports.

Oh. You mean "the dossier as you want to define it." Ok. But that obscures a WHOLE HEAP of other questions about it, including how it relates to the rest of the Dem oppo project and how that relates to the GOP oppo project and why there are payments to Steel Fusion is hiding.

That’s how *everyone* defines it, except you apparently. It even has a Wikipedia article. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump–Russia_dossier …

By "everyone" you mean people who didn't pay attention to DiFi's confirmation that it's not the entire dossier, the payment amounts, or the numbering. So, people who don't know what they're talking about. Yes. Everyone.

Citation needed, preferably Congressional testimony.

Let's take a step back. The proper way to ask for a citation to something you're ignorant of, even while you argue in contradiction to it, is, "May I have a citation for that, please." I'm not your research assistant, and won't respond to dickish orders.
