Steele dossier issues
In the interest of better communication and understanding, here are a few questions and suggestions for you:
 * 1) Durham's report said the Steele dossier may have been infected by Russian disinformation. Does that mean it was infected with such disinfo? Was he telling us anything we didn't already know?
 * 2) Senator Graham said "the Crossfire Hurricane investigators did not and could not corroborate any of the substantive allegations contained in the Steele reporting." Does that mean the allegations are false? Does that mean none of the allegations have been corroborated?
 * 3) When a new source says something about some aspect of the dossier, does that mean that what all previous RS have said on that topic are automatically outdated or were wrong?

Here are two suggestions: I look forward to hearing your take on this. Ping me. -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 03:21, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Be very specific every single time in discussions. Hyperbole doesn't help.
 * 2) Now look at each of the allegations we mention (which are only the ones mentioned in RS) and try to classify them (OR is allowed here) into groups of corroborated, partially corroborated, not corroborated, doubtful, and false. Feel free to create other, more nuanced, categories. Then we can discuss them.
