I didn't mention the Steele Dossier, and completely skipped anything it claimed because of the uncertainty and controversy of it.
I listed actual actions/statements independent of that, including the -at the time- Republican Senate Intelligence Committee, and subsequent statements by others who knew (like the oligarch).
Manafort and Flynn were convicted of crimes involving contacts with Russia, which the Felon later pardoned them for (because...why??). That is, of course, what they could prove. Intelligence (ours) ascertained that the Russians believed they had a source (Flynn) they would be able to use to influence the Felon and his team.
The Felon famously said around that time that our intelligence agencies didn't know what they were talking about, and was exerting every effort to quash further investigations.
That was all part of "Russiagate", and no where did I mention anything to do with the Steele dossier.
