The Steele dossier is one of the more poisonous documents — in its effect and likely in its intent — modern American political life. The ripple effects from its disclosure to the president and public have been immense.
It had multiple dreadful effects, including leading many, many Americans to believe their president was an actual Russian agent — without any verification or substantiation.
But it had another effect to — misleading many Trump supporters into believing that the dossier was the whole investigation and debunking the dossier meant debunking the idea of any inappropriate Russian contacts. At this point the dossier is a side issue, part of a larger whole.
I agree with Trey Gowdy. The Russia investigation would exist with or without the dossier.

I also think the dossier has tainted the process and the debate. Hillary owns this. It was her operation.
