The controversial Christopher Steele dossier is aging well. Here's a link, in case anyone else

would like to review it.

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html

For example, these quotes are from the first page:

“However, he and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.”

“Speaking to a trusted compatriot in June 2016 sources A and B, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure and a former top level Russian intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin respectively, the Russian authorities had been cultivating and supporting US Republican Presidential candidate, Donald TRUMP for at least five years. Source B asserted that the TRUMP operation was both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Its aim was to sow discord and disunity both within the US itself, but more especially within the Transatlantic Alliance which was viewed as inimical to Russia’s interests. Source C, a senior Russian financial official said the TRUMP operation should be viewed in terms of PUTIN’S desire to return to Nineteenth Century “Great Power” politics anchored upon countries’ interest rather than the ideals-based international order established after World War Two.”

The round green thing is much smaller. What is a small, round green vegetable... comes frozen in a bag... many people don't like them... grown in pods...

The "tape" part is correct.

…..made you suspect Putin was involved? Since Trump all on his own is perfectly capable of this kind of thing—for revenge, for attention, to act out his racism

You bet your ass. That's precisely what the Republicans and their Russian buddies are up to, lead by the godforsaken Republican draft dodger in chief, comrade casino.

And every bit of it is entirely because of his nature and lack of ethics.

Discord and disunity in US? check
Discord and disunity between US and Transatlantic Alliance? check
Return to 19th Century international politics? Sounds like "America First" so - check
International order established after WW II? fucker is doing his damnedest.

A link? Website? Notes somewhere?

Fox news republicans like to poo poo it, but so much of it has proven out, I'd love to have a link if anyone has done it.
