Ohhhh: New York Times Reports That It's Very Possible the Entire Steele Dossier Was Itself Kremlin Disinformation

Didn't they dismiss this possibility for two and a half years and also smear anyone who noticed the entire basis of this conspiracy theory that Trump was a Kremlin asset actually came from Kremlin assets?!

Oh right, they did do exactly that.

And now, as Pitch Meeting Guy would say:

Whoops.

Whoopsie!

Now the dossier, financed by Hillary Clinton's campaign and compiled by a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, is likely to face new, possibly harsh scrutiny from multiple inquiries.
Republicans in Congress have vowed to investigate. The Justice Department's inspector general is considering whether the Federal Bureau of Investigation improperly relied on the dossier in applying to the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a warrant to eavesdrop on Carter Page, a Trump adviser. The inspector general wants to know what the F.B.I. learned about Mr. Steele's sources and whether it disclosed any doubts about their veracity to the court.

The Times spends a few paragraphs alibiing the Clinton campaign and Steele (and themselves) by explaining all the ways in which this dossier could have been completely wrong, and yet innocently so.

Only after those alibis do they venture another guess:

Another possibility -- one that Mr. Steele has not ruled out -- could be Russian disinformation. That would mean that in addition to carrying out an effective attack on the Clinton campaign, Russian spymasters hedged their bets and placed a few land mines under Mr. Trump’s presidency as well.
Oleg D. Kalugin, a former K.G.B. general who now lives outside Washington, saw that as plausible. "Russia has huge experience in spreading false information," he said.
Mr. Steele declined to comment for this article.

Of course, The Daily Caller reported on that possibility weeks ago, when the media was still dismissing the possibility as a conspiracy theory which couldn't possibly be true because it disagreed with their own preferred conspiracy theory.

No Matter How Cynical I Get I Can't Keep Up Update: MikeN brings up a possibility I didn't think of -- what if this new claim is itself a cover story?

173 Ace, don't fall for this. This is being leaked by the same people who were leaking against Trump before. The purpose is to try and protect the fact the dossier was written not by Russians, but by the people who wanted to spy on Trump.

Well, actually... right. Certainly they were paid to deliver a product with specified dimensions and, whaddayaknow, their paid Kremlin-asset "sources" just happened to tell them stories that fit their design.

So yes, this is at least mostly true. But is there a chance that they colluded with Putin to interfere with an election?

I'd say yes-- they just might have been spreading Russian disinformation knowingly. With both sets of partners in the conspiracy getting the political results they wanted.

I"m saying this in all sincerity. There is something cognitively wrong with Mitt. Whether it's early onset Alzheimers, or whatever, his reactions and statements are so bizarre. Is he really that upset that PDT said "F(*^ed " in a private discussion that was then unethically reported by Mueller in his report? If Mitt had a clue, he would realize that all of the statements and testimony that has been written in part 2 of Mueller's report would get him disbarred in an actual legal case, according to Levin. Prosecutors cannot publish evidence, statements, etc. in situations in which they decline charges. The report should have only gone to the AG, not to thee public.

They refused to cover arguably one of the biggest stories of the century. Now, it was in the middle of a war but there was enough accurate information and they were tight with the State Dept. enough to know what was happening. And buried it.

Also, after acting as Stalin's propagandists with Walter Duranty to knowingly cover up the Holodomar, 80 years later and they are still refusing to return the Pulitzer Prize they won for their coverage of how fabulous the USSR was and that the Ukrainians were lying.

121 So with this story, we know for sure that the Steele Dossier was NOT "Russian disinformation." This is another CYA leak/story. The ugly truth is that the Steele Dossier was wholly invented by Hillary's people. They had an outline of what they wanted to be able to deliver to the FBI in order to justify the spying on Trump and to cook up the MUH RUSSIA conspiracy story, and they needed a certain type of third party to put his name on it, so the FBI could pretend it was legit. Hence, Steele was recruited to put a veneer of legitimacy on it.

April 19th is also the actual, for realz guyz, Patriot's Day.

And the chances that the satanists in charge 26 years ago chose that day/date to burn out that group of people while on a mission to arrest it's leader and confiscate "military supplies" would be...?

In my opinion, fairly high.
Why?
To turn that date on it's head so to speak.

What Obama never realized when he leaned over to the Russian president and offered to be more flexible after the election to Putin, is that Putin already owned his azz.

Obama was too daft to realize it.

291 OK. I was afraid my identity had been stolen, because the IRS rejected my return on ID grounds. That's not what happened. It was for the reason that I submitted a return without the previous one for an AGI reference.

My 2017 return got lost in the mail/IRS mailroom.

So, I never claimed my previous year's return, and never received the refund, which I didn't bother with checking out. Now I'm learning that the IRS will run me through some shit, and then end up paying me about a thousand dollars.

True. Russia was exstatic to see Barky elected ... but they just couldn't believe that any half-sane people would have actually elected someone like that. They were happy but they were also confused that they could have lost the Cold War to us.

But, it's not unlike how the Brits voted in the socialists the minute Churchill and America had saved them from the Nazis.

308 MikeN, I'm with you. Yaacov Apelbaum did an exhaustive analysis of the dossier and came to the conclusion that its authors were Nellie Ohr, Ed Baumgartner, and a third author, probably of Eastern European first language (although someone pointed out that the errors are so Boris-and-Natasha that they might just have been someone pretending). Chris Steele took their work product and dressed it up to look like intelligence reportage. The interesting part of his analysis is that he believes the source material was from Hakluyt's database, and that Hakluyt is in the business of collecting information on people and companies in order to build a database to sell this kind of thing for mercenary purposes. Someone else has pointed out that several of the stories are very similsr to an article published in the WSJ under Glenn Simpson's byline in the mid-2000's. So you are correct - while it's possible this is Russian disinformation laundered through the Hakluyt database and 3-4 authors who relied in it, theone story of which we should be very suspicious is that retired MI6 officer Christopher Steele, who never went to Russia, got the fake dossier from his Russian sources.

The peeing and the prostitutes were bad enough, but the "tell" was the "On The Bed that Obama and Michelle Slept Upon."

Truly ham fisted, that detail...

When I first heard that, I said "They have to fucking be kidding with that one. So that's how stupid the Progs think we are, that we'd believe something that far-fetched? "
As long as Trump has been in the public eye, if he ever had any kinks like that, we would've heard about them long before now. And they never would've given him his own TV show if that was part of his image, either.

Who did the Progs think they were fooling with that stoopid bullshit rumor about him hiring hookers to pee in a bed TFG slept in? It certainly wasn't anybody with two functioning brain cells to rub together, that's for sure.

377 I just read that NYT story, and in it they referenced another ridiculous claim from 2 years ago (might be in the dossier, or might be separate) about Carter Page. The Claim was that Carter Page was going to collect a commission, or finders fee, or something on the sale of Rosneft, the Russian O & G outfit. When you worked out the percentage, it was supposed to be something like $6 Billion Dollars to Carter Page! The NYT story dryly says "investigators could never find any evidence this payment was made" - LOL !!! I think they went to Carter Page, and said "Where's the $6 Billion you got?" and Page replied "Uh, I dunno, you can look at my bank account, I got a $300 balance right now."

It was another part where the claim was so idiotic at the outset and it's hard to imagine any serious person not tossing it out instantly.

maybe so ... Lincoln had his red 49ers ... I don't have the scope to say how it all happened. But we have bias in looking back, because we have relative freedom and open communication. Going back to 1850 Western world ... gee, might made right ... or did they even care about pretending to be right? Maybe it was just about force?

Commies were not shy about force .... I guess they needed the propaganda still, but mostly raw power. They refined their messaging a little, to save bullets maybe. But this notion that all systems are just seeking egalitarian outcomes ... that is indeed "the opiate of the masses". Much of history "just win baby" ... rape and pillage, to the victor belong the spoils.

The West and especially our Bill of Rights, individual liberty ... a bubble in history. Maybe parts of the old testament had some egalitarian ideals ... but David thought Bathsheba was hot .. just took her. We better stop the globalists at the Potomac, or things could get messy.

What is new, what is a bombshell, is that the government can invent a pretext to burrow into your life and make it a living hell for political purposes.

405 By my count, Steele's dossier had 32 Russian, and presumably Kremlin-connected, sources. By any stretch, it meant Steele was running the largest counterintelligence operation in Russia--which doesn't pass any smell test.

So the whole exercise is "smoke and mirrors," not "where there's smoke, there's fire."

I'd say the dossier was creative writing fiction, rather than Russian-supplied disinformation. Undoubtedly, there some second or third hand sourcing, just like there was some true facts inserted to create plausibility for true believers...
