The Russia dossier has come back to haunt Donald Trump as author Christopher Steele says the dossier is 70%-90% accurate.
The Guardian reported, “Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who compiled an explosive dossier of allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, believes it to 70% to 90% accurate, according to a new book on the covert Russian intervention in the 2016 US election. The book, Collusion: How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win, by Guardian journalist Luke Harding, quotes Steele as telling friends that he believes his reports – based on sources cultivated over three decades of intelligence work – will be vindicated as the US special counsel investigation digs deeper into contacts between Trump, his associates and Moscow.”
If the dossier is proven to be 70%-90% true, Trump is cooked. Forget the prostitutes and pee sensationalism, what could really damage Trump are the allegations of his longtime business relationship, how Russia cultivated him, and his collusion during the election.
Steele has a great deal of credibility with the intelligence community. He is a Russia/Ukraine expert who has authored over 100 reports. He is not a partisan. Steele did not author the dossier to benefit Democrats. Republicans originally paid for the research. Steele is a person who has credibility and a track record of providing confirmed intelligence. The dossier is one thread in this investigation, and if Robert Mueller confirms the accuracy of the most serious allegations, Trump will be on the fast track to impeachment.

The dossier is going to keep dogging this president until the truth is revealed about Trump/Russia collusion.
