Let's take a brief look at Julian Borger of The Guardian.
"John McCain passes dossier alleging secret Trump-Russia contacts to FBI".

"An official in the US administration who spoke to the Guardian described the source who wrote the intelligence report as consistently reliable."

"UK intelligence gave US key tipoff about Russian hacking, report says".

Julian Borger, January 7, 2017.

"The New York Times, citing two people familiar with the conclusions of the report, said British intelligence was among the first to raise the alarm in autumn 2015 that Moscow had hacked the computer servers of the Democratic National Committee".

Except they didn't report that.
The New York Times article, "Putin Ordered 'Influence Campaign' Aimed at U.S. Election, Report Says" by David Sanger says British intelligence raised the alarm first according to two people familiar with the conclusions.

It doesn't mention Autumn 2015.

"Christopher Steele believes his dossier on Trump-Russia is 70-90% accurate".

Julian Borger, November 15, 2017.

Where Borger reports on Luke Harding's book, "Collusion: How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win".

I wonder if I should read that next?
