    I'm making a blade, taking a break.

    This thing is entirely typical of people bunching stuff together when it suits their bias. Very pronounced with US Conservatives, everything is antifa, everything bad is bla bla.

    I can't read your mind GWB but I guess you have known the conservative paper the Washington Free Beacon contracted Fusion GPS to compile an actual opposition research document on Trump. This did not involve Steele. But its clear this has easily added to confusion and erroneous conflation in conservative talking circles.

    Seperate to this HRC's campaign hired Fusion GPS to compile a dossier. This is when Steele was hired and he has stated he was unaware of who the customer was for several months and therefore the purpose other than what else would you use it for. Fusion GPS sub contracted him and had no reason to say who the client was. Perfectly normal to have such compartmentalized.

    So he never wrote an opposition report, he compiled a dossier.

    I win. :)

    It gets to over 130F near my forge, my only excuse for taking so long to spank you.

    i'm going to need more details. This fox news piece is ommitting a bunch. Let's be honest, European defamation laws are garbage and I don't even see how Steele is to be held to account on a dossier that was for a private client. How is is the guy's fault that McCain went ratting to congress and the press?
