Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAccording to Schweizer, the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop show his father, President Joe Biden, “was the beneficiary” of funds from influential people in Ukraine, China and Russia.
“There’s a couple of things that people have to keep in mind,” Schweizer outlined. “The first is if you look at the three big flashpoints in American foreign policy today — Ukraine, Russia and China — the Biden family has received funds, millions of dollars — in some cases tens of millions of dollars — from powerful individuals connected to the government in each of those countries. That’s the first factor.”
He continued, “The second factor is this is not just a Hunter Biden story. The New York Times tries to paint it that way. The headline is even ‘Hunter Biden pays his back taxes, but broad investigation continues.’ But you’re right. They admit that the laptop is real, and what the laptop reveals, Maria, is that Hunter Biden received these funds, but the president of the United States, Joe Biden, was a recipient and a beneficiary of those funds. Hunter Biden and Joe Biden had intermingled finances; Hunter Biden was paying monthly bills, he was paying for repairs on his home. So, this is a story that goes straight to the president, and each of these countries, particularly China, has a policy of using commercial ties, financial ties, as leverage over foreign elites. And they clearly have that in this case with Joe Biden.”

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThere were rumors about things that were contained in it but it appears that the "dossier" itself wasn't compiled until after the election.
The founders of Fusion GPS have described how they did not hide the fact that they were researching Trump and Russia: "Fusion and Steele tried to alert U.S. law enforcement and the news media to the material they'd uncovered ..." and their office became "something of a public reading room" for journalists seeking information. In September they arranged a private meeting between Steele and reporters from The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Yorker, ABC News, and other outlets. The results were disappointing, as none published any stories before the election.
Jane Mayer has described how, in "late summer, Fusion set up a series of meetings, at the Tabard Inn, in Washington, between Steele and a handful of national-security reporters. ... Despite Steele's generally cool manner, he seemed distraught about the Russians' role in the election." Mayer attended one of the meetings. None of these news organizations ran any stories about the allegations at that time.
Before the election, only two news sources mentioned allegations that came from dossier reports. Steele had been in contact with both authors. These were a September 23, 2016, Yahoo! News article by Michael Isikoff which focused on Carter Page, and an article by David Corn on October 31, 2016, a week before the election, in Mother Jones magazine.

I said earlier that if they started showing the embarassing pictures of Hunter that they described it would go along way towards proving authenticity. That happened.
I guess it's only fair that we should each conclude that the other is using motivated reasoning.

Then Hunter's business partners came out and said that they had those same emails from their side. Eventually, the "disinformation" argument became a "god of the gaps" argument. That no matter how much WAS authenticated, you couldn't be certain the rest wasn't russian disinformation, therefore it was russian disinformation.

I'm not sure if any of the network news (ABC, CBS, NBC) have even mentioned it after the NYT validated them as authentic (they hadn't as of yesterday morning -- over three days after the story broke).

(If you think none of the Steele Dossier was authenticated, you might want to look here.)
