It didn't come out til right before the inaugural - it wasn't used to undermine a political election campaign at all. It was one of several pieces of a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION because people on the Trump campaign were working with Russians and were surveilled by FiveEyes and our IC.

I'll say it again.......
Either our intelligence agencies were "in on" the advancing of false reporting regarding the dossier, or they were duped by Russian disinformation.
Which is it? Either one is not good.
Or, you have been totally duped by misinformation and the simplest answer is the right one. We have a fully compromised and corrupted president who answers to Vladimir Putin.
Mueller and all his high power agents and attorneys were unable to verify the dossier.
Yet, the FBI saw fit to include it in intelligence briefings and FISA warrants.
So, they were either part of the plan to put out disinformation about Trump, or they were duped. Which is it?
They were unable to verify the dossier because evidence was destroyed. That doesn't mean it doesn't contain some particle of truth.
Nice try. No.

Yes.
http://time.com/5574575/mueller-report-trump-russia-evidence/
Even your own article which you linked says the dossier hasn't been disproven.
First, nothing in your link indicates that Mueller's team was unable to verify the dossier because "evidence was destroyed."
Secondly, you are going with the "hope springs eternal" idea.
Face it - the dossier is full of false crap and was either an effort by Clinton, or worse, Obama administration officials, to spread false information OR it was a disinformation campaign by Russia that many in our IC fell for.
Yes it does, here:
"Mueller discusses some of the reasons evidence may have been hard to come by. Some witnesses declined to testify, invoking their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Some of the evidence that prosecutors were able to obtain was privileged and would be inadmissible in court. Other witnesses provided false or incomplete testimony; as Mueller states in the report, the President himself refused to answer any questions at all about obstruction of justice. Still others destroyed or encrypted relevant communications. And because “numerous witnesses and subjects lived abroad” the Special Counsel did not have ready access to them. “Accordingly,” Mueller wrote, “while this report embodies factual and legal determinations that the Office believes to be accurate and complete to the greatest extent possible, given these identified gaps, the Office cannot rule out the possibility that the unavailable information would shed additional light on (or cast in a new light) the events described in the report.”
Also, it was not an effort by either Clinton or the Obama administration, which is clarified by your own article.
Highlight the portion in your citation that states that Mueller was unable to verify the dossier because evidence was destroyed.
Since Clinton hired the firm that created the dossier, how do we not know it was her campaign behind the disinformation?
Since the intelligence personnel in the Obama administration used the dossier in briefings and FISA warrants, how do we not know they were not behind the disinformation campaign? Or, were they simply duped by it?

There is very little from the dossier that has been disproven and no one cares about the pee tape, if it exists or not (though Trump was clearly concerned about tapes given what he had Cohen doing) - that is called kompromat, and is core to Russian tactics.

Wrong.
The coup was the spying on then candidate Trump then using the fake dossier to launch the Mueller investigation in an orchestrated attempt to have him removed from office.
There was no Russian collusion so now Barr can start to investigate the real treason by the Obama administration.
You are clueless that the country isn’t behind the so called coup. Get out of your Faux news trap. A big majority of Americans aren’t with Trump. And a good number of cult 45 has gotten wiser and has deserted him. His approval has never crossed 45% and now is on its way down after Mueller report.
You can live in your delusions but America isn’t with the conman. The more he tries to stage a fake coup lie the more he is gonna lose support of independents. He started with negative 3 million and has dug a big hole since then. You do know he can’t win with just the fraud party voters , right?
The former Obama administration is going to be facing an investigation into the origins of their attempted coup to unseat an elected President.
Simply, you cannot falsify evidence as the basis for obtaining warrants to spy on political opponents nor use that false evidence as the basis for investigating someone in an attempt to impeach them.
We are still a nation of laws, not feelings- so this level of treason will need to be fully investigated.
That's not an attempted coup. Maybe it would be if Pence instigated it, but he didn't. Not only are we still a nation of laws, we are also a nation of dictionaries and proper definitions, not your angry feelings
Democrats paid for a fake dossier that got passed to our intelligence agencies in order to green light the FISA warrant to spy on the opposing candidate.
When they lost, they then used that same fake dossier to launch a two year investigation to oust a siting President.
It was an attempted coup and it was treason.

Ridiculous.
Nope. This was all orchestrated, first the FISA warrants to spy an opposing candidate, then the made up dossier funded by Clinton that was later used to launch the Mueller investigation in hopes for ousting a sitting President. Time to find out just how high up this went in the previous administration.

You understand that the dossier was originally funded by the RNC, right? You do know this don't you?
Funding the dossier alone is not the issue here, funding it and then using it as the basis for FISA warrants to undermine a political opponent's election campaign is the issue. The RNC didn't do this, the Democrats did.
So wait, tell me again who funded it?
As previous posters have already noted, it was funded initially by the RNC but they walked away from it, it was then offered by Fusion GPS to the Clinton campaign who then continued to fund it. Again, funding it alone is not the issue. I am sure there are plenty of oppo research out there that was funded by whoever. This is certainly not the only oppo research that was ever funded. The issue is that it was funded by the Clinton campaign *AND* then used as the basis of a FISA warrant against a political opponent.
No. it. wasn't. funded. by. the. RNC.
There was no dossier when Fusion GPS was working for Republicans (not RNC).
The dossier was developed once Christopher Steele came on board. He wasn't hired until AFTER the Republican that hired Fusion GPS withdrew. That is when Clinton's campaign and the DNC got involved.
That is when Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele.
For people who claim to be knowledgeable about this investigation, some of you are mightily misinformed.
