It absolutely has and was. Where do you think all this came from, in part? Do you honestly think the FBI just out of the blue decided to investigate the Trump campaign?!?
It was opposition research. And it would seem not credible enough to have been used, but perhaps credible enough for McCain [and others] to pass to the FBI.
I read in more than one article, months ago, related to the Dossier, that the Dossier was opposition research originally funded by Republican primary supporters and then taken over by Clinton supporters. I'm not sure why that wasn't a bigger story (until now), but I'm also not sure why it's so objectionable. It's not a fact that appeared to be disputed, at all, in related stories.
Now I don't know if it is 100% truth, since the media so clearly sucks these days, but it was reported that this Dossier was compiled, in part, by paying Russian spies for intel. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand people wanting to get paid had to justify their pay day.
Here's a google search that - holy shit - took me 10 seconds. If this is news to you, then, well, you must be intellectually lazy at best and maybe in need of a class on searching google:

Maybe get off your ass and out our your bubble and actually start reading the news.
