[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's wild - the only real thing the Trump supporters have to go on, where it comes to "debunking" the Steele Dossier is the Horowitz Report - which basically did little other than to accuse Danchenko of being a liar.

Yet even that was pretty much a fail, given Danchenko was ultimately acquitted.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/10/14/danchenko-one-count-dimissed-durham/

Also, I would wonder - if what Steele compiled were all just slander and lies, why hasn't Trump gone after him with a lawsuit, like he did with so many other people, like E. Jean Carroll?

Maybe it's because Trump knows that discovery in that suit would be damning for him.[/quote]

The United States intelligence community and most experts have treated the dossier with caution due to its unverified allegations.

The Mueller Report contained passing references to some of the dossier's allegations but little mention of its more sensational claims.

Many allegations in the dossier have been dismissed by authorities or remain unverified.

So where is the list of verified allegations? Nobody ever lists those. [/quote]

There was a link above, lawfare blog.  There are many others.   Also, Mueller Investigation ended up corroborating many items in the dossier.

So where is the extensive list of conclusively disproven or debunked allegations.  Nobody has ever listed that.  Horowitz released a lazy spreadsheet with a few dozen items, but didn't actually disprove most of them, instead they were left blank, as neither proven nor disproven (even though some of the items he listed were in fact proven).  But instead Horowitz just tried to make sweeping generalizations, like "well Steele's source was Danchenko, and he is a liar" without specifically going into any details...  But sadly for Horowitz,  Danchenko ended up acquitted on the accusations against him, making most of Horowitz's work completely useless and pointless.[/quote]
