What the Steele dossier said vs. What the Mueller report said
WaPo Fact Checker
Now that a redacted version of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report has been released, what about the dossier?
The dossier was intended as raw, unverified intelligence. But it achieved notoriety after incoming President Trump was briefed on its contents by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in early 2017 and BuzzFeed published a version of it.
Except certain reporters were writing stories about the dossier allegations before the election

Navy SEALs Were Warned Against Reporting Their Chief for War Crimes
Navy SEAL commandos from Team 7’s Alpha Platoon said they had seen their highly decorated platoon chief commit shocking acts in Iraq. And they had spoken up, repeatedly. But their frustration grew as months passed and they saw no sign of official action.
Tired of being brushed off, seven members of the platoon called a private meeting with their troop commander in March 2018 at Naval Base Coronado near San Diego. According to a confidential Navy criminal investigation report obtained by The New York Times, they gave him the bloody details and asked for a formal investigation.
But instead of launching an investigation that day, the troop commander and his senior enlisted aide — both longtime comrades of the accused platoon leader, Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher — warned the seven platoon members that speaking out could cost them and others their careers, according to the report.
The clear message, one of the seven told investigators, was “Stop talking about it.”

Listen to Chris Steele's former boss and Head of Mi6 Sir John Scarlett demolish the Steele Dossier.
Scarlett read the 'dossier' and is on the record calling it 'unreliable', 'unverifiable', 'commercial intelligence', and that he doesn't believe it.
