The Steele dossier was never promoted as a finished intelligence product. It was raw data in the same way as police take statements from every source and try to distill them into a coherent whole to be further investigated.

You listen to these morons... and it's almost as if there were no connections at all.

I mean, why would we wonder that the only bank in the world willing to deal with Donald Trump (Deutsche Bank) also happened to have paid billions of dollars in fines for laundering Russian mob money? Or that Felix Sater, without a pot to piss in, was buying condos for cash? Or that Dmitry Rybolovlev would pay $100 million for a house in palm Beach that no one wanted.

Why would anyone be concerned that Trump's campaign manager was working for free, and owed tens of millions to Oleg Deripaska? Or that he was passing actual internal polling data, along with the campaign's strategy, to his partner, a Russian intelligence agent ... data that could only have been used to microtarget voters?

I mean... why would anyone look into minutia like that?

All of Trump’s Russia Ties, in 7 Charts

By MICHAEL CROWLEY

March/April 2017

What is the real story of Donald Trump and Russia? The answer is still unclear, and Democrats in Congress want to get to the bottom of it with an investigation. But there’s no doubt that a spider web of connections—some public, some private, some clear, some murky—exists between Trump, his associates and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

These charts illustrate dozens of those links, including meetings between Russian officials and members of Trump’s campaign and administration; his daughter’s ties to Putin’s friends; Trump’s 2013 visit to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant; and his short-lived mixed martial arts venture with one of Putin’s favorite athletes. The solid lines mark established facts, while dotted ones represent speculative or unproven connections.

There’s nothing inherently damning about most of the ties illustrated below. But they do reveal the vast and mysteriously complex web behind a story that has vexed Trump’s young presidency from its start—and is certain to shake the White House for months to come.
