If you read "Russian Roulette," @ggreenwald, you'd know that it is not based on the Steele memos. We reported on how they came to be & noted that their specific allegations remained largely unproven. Our finding-Trump "aided and abetted" the Russian attack-was not based on them.
Our book covered how Russia attacked a US election and chronicled the curious and troubling Trump-Russia interactions that occurred before, during, and afterward--and how Trump and his crew falsely denied the attack was underway, echoing and amplifying Moscow disinformation...
...essentially running interference for the Russian operation....So if you think its gotcha to point out that @Isikoff disparaged the Steele memos, then I question whether you really understand the Trump-Russia scandal and how we have written about it.
