A falsehood in the Steele Dossier...tell me it ain't so //

We now know that the Alfa Bank server story appears to have been pushed on the feckless, credulous Foer by Michael Sussman. Sussman is a partner in Perkins Coie, that would be the law firm that was employed by the Clinton campaign which hired Christopher Steele and marketed his work to Washington political journalists. //

British ex-spy Christopher Steele must pay damages to two Alfa Bank partners for publishing “inaccurate or misleading” material in his infamous dossier, including claims the banks funneled “illicit cash” to Russian President Vladimir Putin, a British court ruled Wednesday. //

At this point, court losses for Steele are just icing on the cake. His dossier has been revealed to be, if not a fraud made up out of whole cloth, a product of the Russian intelligence services.
