This doesn't inspire much confidence in the dossier. Fusion GPS's Peter Fritsch claimed in a deposition in the BuzzFeed lawsuit on Aug. 30 that Michael Cohen's wife is Russian. That's false. She's Ukrainian. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5733… 
This same claim is in the Steele dossier, but BuzzFeed redacted stuff about Cohen's wife and father-in-law in the version published online. Here's an unredacted version unsealed last week courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Lawyers for the Russian guy suing BuzzFeed said that BuzzFeed knew that portion was false and so redacted it. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
This is all reason enough to question Steele's sourcing methods. The source for this faulty Cohen info also appears to have been a source for info on Carter Page. The source is described as a "compatriot" of two separate sources on Page and Cohen. (Photo of BuzzFeed's dossier)
Cohen has categorically denied dossier's claims about his wife and father-in-law. So why Fusion GPS's co-founder continued peddling this stuff so recently is baffling. documentcloud.org/documents/3984…
