I probably won't get to your posts until tomorrow.

But a couple of questions here, at least:

1. Who determined there was "Russian disinformation" in the Steele Dossier, and how?

2. Given the dossier's existence and circulation, should any news organization have reported on it?

3. When you speak of "obsessed and deranged media who lapped it up and regurgitate it because they hated Trump," I am not sure exactly what you mean and whom you are referring to. These are Hannity-style adjectives and attributions of motivation, not Maddow-style.

Are you saying or implying that reporters believed the dossier and reported it as factual finding, as opposed to reporting its existence and provenance, with precautions? "Media" here includes whom or what?
