It is not possible to defend Trump without lying. Assume anyone who does so is a liar about everything else too.
Still this binary thinking... good luck with that. Keep the bubble strong
I'll also note that it's so easy to find that most of the Dossier was 100% accurate, that it has its own section on wikipedia, with citations and links.
Ooooh, when it's on Wikipedia... but wait. On the "lying" part of your comment, this is what wikipedia says about that "most of the Dossier was 100% accurate" statement of yours:
Some aspects of the dossier have been corroborated,
[19][20] in particular its main allegations: that Putin and Russia actively favored Trump over Clinton,
[21][14] and that
many Trump campaign officials and associates had multiple secret contacts with Russians.
[22][23] However, many allegations in the dossier remain unverified, and one allegation against
Michael Cohen was disproven by the Mueller Report using Cohen's own words.
[24] The Daily Telegraph has reported that anonymous sources believe that Russian intelligence agencies may have sought to create doubt about the veracity of the dossier.
[25]
Who's the liar? Oh right, you are.
The most sensational parts of the dossier - the pee tape and that Putin has some blackmail material on Trump, not a shred of evidence. Is the fact that the Russian government preferred Trump over Hillary an allegation? It's not, it is quite obvious and the reasons for it are quite obvious. And what's wrong with that? I remember when the US government has
openly expressed preferences during election campaign in Slovakia. Not only that, it was clearly communicated to Slovak public what will happen if we won't vote "the right way." Therefore I say f**k your sanctimonious bullshit
Payback is a b**ch.
In hindsight, the real attack on democracy in the US was the Steele Dossier itself. Not because it damaged Trump, he deserves it, but because of how it radicalized political life. I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional - not by Steele himself, he's just a tool willing to sell his name, but by his "anonymous sources" who have provided all the uncorroborated sensationalist bullshit that he was paid for so handsomely. It, and the way it was misused by the Dems and FBI did a real number on political discourse in the US.
35% of Reps and 45% of Dems would be unhappy about their child marrying into the other party? WTF is that, political orthodoxy? How do you even go back to sanity from this?
There's one more interesting thing about Steele's sources. It is just my opinion, but some of them
could be Ukrainian SBU operatives. It is very unlikely that the SBU of 2016 would not try to undermine a US presidential candidate openly friendly to Russia. They've done worse things. And now that old corrupt structure built by Porky and his possy of maidan murderers is going down, brick by brick, and a lot of dirt is finding its way into courts and media. I think we'll see a lot of interesting things next year out of Ukraine, some of which may actually seriously damage anybody associated with the Steele Dossier
You see, Ukraine needs money, and since you're not giving it to them, they will sooner or later sell their secrets to somebody else. That's how Ukrainian politics (and almost everything else there) works nowadays.
A final question - are you not at all concerned about how much power do anonymous sources hold in current US politics? I would be really nervous about it if I lived there.
