No, no Russians were involved in writing the famous dossier. Its fiction. None were required. It was no doubt compiled by someone at Fusion and Steele was paid to sign it.
Why? He is a foreign national. Makes it harder to subpoena him into a US court.
And the whole thing provides perjury protection. Is it true? I don’t know, it was provided by someone reliable, who is outside the US. And if you ask him, is it true? I don’t know, it was provided by unnamed Russians who can’t be identified without endangering them. Bla-bla-bla.
No one has to take responsibility for it.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t any Russians, though. Fusion was on Russia’s payroll. As was Podesta. As were the Clintons, both of them. Fusion being contracted to both DNC and Russia, provides an easy pretext for DNC and Russian operatives to be in the same offices without arousing suspicion, not that anyone at FBI is even interested.
Here’s the passenger list of the Russian airliner that crashed. According to #QAnon one of these passengers was a source for both Uranium 1 and the Steele Dossier.
