The party line from David Kramer and Glen Simpson has been that the goal was always for McCain to pass the dossier to Comey.
But when confronted by texts in court, Steele admits he didn't want it to go back to the FBI.

Had the dossier made it to Rubio, that would have been am impressive laundering of intel that began as oppo research on his primary opponent.
But we don't know what Steele's motive was for passing it to McCain. It may have been to dirty up as many Republicans as possible.
