What was insane about the dossier?

  It was just made up BS. An ex-MI6 guy was paid through Fusion GPS to make it, nothing in it was verified, and the news ran with it like crazy anyways. Fusion GPS has gone after people with basically slanderous claims in the past too. They accused a Venezuelan journalist who criticized one of their clients of being a pedophile drug trafficker, for example.

    > It was just made up BS. An ex-MI6 guy was paid through Fusion GPS to make it, nothing in it was verified, and the news ran with it like crazy anyways. This is false. It wasn't just made up BS. Many elements have been verified, and the news didn't just run with it. In fact, all the news outlets that had it save one didn't run with it because they hadn't verified it enough, and it was until one news outlet ran it that the cat was out of the bag. And even when they ran it, they made it very clear the status of verification. You are either ignorant and need to go do any level of research or a liar, in which case you should be ignored.
