they are known as the steele dossier. they allege, among other things, that the trump campaign had organized collusion with the kremlin. quote, this is something of huge significance. way above party politics, that intelligence officer told corn, that would be steele. quote, i think trump s own party should be aware of this stuff, as well. the official confirmation of the fbi investigation into the trump campaign s contacts with russia was not confirmed for many more months. it s even easy to forget that, because it s the kind of big information that s the center of american politics, so we all talk about it. people who don t even follow the news know about it. but let s be clear. it was not until march 2017, many months later is, that s after the inauguration, after the election, when fbi director james comey went down to the hill, where he was testifying and said, yes, there was an open probe. by that time, the fb
