Literally everyone had it. McCain at the behest of Lindsey Graham turned it over to the FBI.

But no one talked about it because they couldn’t verify it. Comey putting it in a briefing and the fact that it got out made it news.

It was the firing of Comey that started off the Mueller investigation. Not the Steel dossier.

The only thing that the dossier was used for in a legal capacity was for the Page FISA warrant and that was obtained AFTER he had left the campaign AND they came up with nothing more than Page is a useful idiot.

I know it has been drummed into heads that the Steel Dossier is the end all and be all… but in the end it just isn’t that important and it changed very little.

All of this would have happened without it.
