EXCERPT---It is hard for an outsider to discern clearly what is going on inside the current dossier investigations. But it appears some investigators are looking beyond the 35 pages of reports done by Steele for Fusion GPS (the opposition research firm working for the Clinton campaign and the DNC), published Jan 2017 by BuzzFeed.

They're looking into whether:

<><> Steele did reports about Trump, perhaps similar to the published dossier.

<><> whether those reports made their way to the Obama State Dept.

<><> what individual State Dept officials did in relation to Steele, and,

<><> whether contacts occurred between Obama's State Dept, the FBI or DOJ about anti-Trump material.

It's not yet clear whether Obama/Hillary State Dept activity WRT the project took place
(A) in the months leading up to the 2016 election (B), during the transition, or, (C) both.

Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton was, of course, secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
