> Steele dossier (pushed by US media, but turns out it’s entirely false)
The Steele Dossier was raw intelligence, assessed by its own author at the time to likely be 50% true. The idea that it discredits itself by portions of it being false is a misunderstanding of the nature of raw intel.
In fact, the main point of the Steele Dossier was to alert the FBI that Russia was working to influence the 2016 election while making overtures toward the Trump campaign, which were received with open arms.
This claim was shown to be true by at least the Mueller Report, the Senate Intel Reports on the 2016 election, the CIA, and the Treasury Department. “The media” has no relevance as to the truth of the matter.
