This is a reminder that Steele was requested to conduct opposition research on Donald Trump by the Jeb Bush campaign, and it was suggested originally by John McCain.
Jeb didn't use it, that is when he sold it to Fusion GPS, who gave it to the DNCC. That's when a member of their staff met with FBI agents to make the accusation that Trump was working with Russia. Their own forensics team dismissed the thing as absolute hogwash, but the FBI falsified their own FISA warrant in order to get a judge to approve wire-tapping the Trump campaign.
This is a little different in that it is FAR more direct.
No, this is far more direct than anything the Russians were even accused of. They claimed the Russians worked with Trump and WikiLeaks to steal the DNC emails, and then that prevented Hillary from winning.
In reality they ran a couple Facebook accounts, (their most popular was a BLM chapter that wasn't real) and posted a shitty Bernie Bro meme.
So... exactly the sort of thing Democrats were baselessly saying Russians are doing?
To be fair, they did the same in 2016.
Where do you think the Steele dossier came from?

Straight from Alinsky. Accuse the other side of exactly what you are doing.
