Steele Dossier 'Company Intelligence Report 2016/095 (p. 7 of collated Dossier): Source E said Trump and team 'were relatively relaxed' abt 'negative media publicity surrounding alleged Russian interference in U.S. election campaign' b/c
it 'deflected attention away from Trump's business dealings in China and other emerging markets. Unlike in Russia, these were substantial and involved payment of large bribes and kickbacks which, were they to become public, would be potentially very damaging to their campaign."
We have rightly been preoccupied with Trump's corrupt involvement w/ Russia. The China aspect, however, continues to ride under the radar screen. There were early hints (see below), but not much since. How can we crack this part of the story ?

I take the Steele Dossier to be what it purported to be: a collection of raw human intelligence reports. As such, its value was, and is, to spur investigation. I don't take anything in it 'at face value,' but I do regard it as the work product of a skilled intel professional.
