Steele a peek at Putin



One thing that hasn't had much if any attention in the last two years of Mueller's investigation into Russian collusion (aka non-collusion) is that of the so-called Steele Dossier.
After all, if there was Russian involvement in providing info to the Dossier, as there almost certainly was, then there is a very high likelihood that said Russians had links to the Kremlin (aka Putin).  In that case, the Russian were colluding with Hillary to stump Trump. Hillary the Traitor! Hillary the Quisling! As nobody said.
Ross Douthat asks this very question, in the New York Times, which ought to get more traction in coming months.
Then equally welcome would be an answer to my second major question: Was any of the Steele dossier's bad intel deliberately crafted by the Russians?
