The dossier and the FISA application are two different things. My theory is that James Wolfe received the dossier from Senator John McCain, who as former chairman, and then emeritus member of the SSCI, knew and worked with James Wolfe, who fed it to Watkins, who worked for Buzzfeed. McCain as the source fits the timeline, and I could see him giving a copy to SSCI.
Casting doubt on my theory is the number of pages BuzzFeed published versus the number McCain supposedly turned over to the FBI. I need to research that further. Things I saw yesterday on the internet put BuzzFeed at 35 and McCain at 33. I don’t trust the sources and intend to look further and “older”.
thanx for the expanded explanation and filling in the blanks on your thinking.
We know of 3 different versions in MSM land and it is my understanding that at any given time there were up to 17 different versions of the dossier by Steele. How many different versions were floating around in MSM land? Who knows ?

I’m guessing that might be one of the reasons MSM wouldn’t touch reporting on the dossier.
I don’t know how much you trust The Hill’s solomon reporting. but most of this stuff is documented via Strozk’s testimony.
Hope you can connect the dots. If you need help with research, FreepMail me and let me know.
