lol. Trump has always and I mean always put two middle fingers up to the law. The man has been running cons and scams for decades.
FBI didn't base their investigation on Steele dossier. We [the SCO] were aware of the Steele dossier, obviously. We were aware of some of the efforts that went into its verification... we did not include Steele dossier reporting in the report.... [T]hose allegations go to the heart of things that were in our mandate—but we believed our own investigation. The information that we collected would have superseded it, and been something we would have relied on more, and that's why you see what we did in the report and not the Steele dossier in the report.[13] He "declined to provide further information on whether FBI or SCO attempted to verify information in the dossier, although he noted that the SCO did not draw on the dossier to support its conclusions."
Great citation, that's quite a well-researched and cited wiki entry. Found this deeper in; " Risk of contamination with Russian disinformation considered In 2019, during Trump's first impeachment inquiry, national security expert Fiona Hill stated Steele may have been "played" by the Russians to spread disinformation.[48][158] The Inspector General's investigative team examined how seriously the FBI Crossfire Hurricane team had considered "whether Steele's election reports, or aspects of them, were the product of a Russian disinformation campaign". Bill Priestap explained to the OIG that by May 2017, after examining several possibilities for how disinformation could affect Steele's reporting, the FBI "didn't have any indication whatsoever that the Russians were running a disinformation campaign through the Steele election reporting". Priestap further explained that "the Russians ... favored Trump, they're trying to denigrate Clinton ... [and] I don't know why you'd run a disinformation campaign to denigrate Trump on the side." The IG Report said Steele explained how sophisticated the Russians were at planting and controlling misinformation, but Steele "had no evidence that his reporting was 'polluted' with Russian disinformation".[37]: 193–195 The inspector general's report ultimately concluded "that more should have been done to examine Steele's contacts with intermediaries of Russian oligarchs in order to assess those contacts as potential sources of disinformation that could have influenced Steele's reporting".[37]: 386 "
Can't imagine why not. We'll just have to wait for the twitterati to hunt that claim of fact or fiction down.
In case anyone was worried about Trump being a flight risk... apparently the FBI considered that possibility as well.
