Why is it relevant to Trump's impeachment?
Does 2016 count as ancient history? I don’t think the funding provided by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee was necessarily illegal, but using it to get FISA warrants seems aromatic of an abuse of power to me. The whole thing certainly doesn’t strike me as “we go high”.
LDAHL, with due respect, if there was anything substantial to your issues I suspect the conservatives would love nothing more than another diversion from the real impeachment allegations. I've n ot heard it mentioned at all.
On the Steele dossier:

I bring it up as a counter to the assertion that the Democrats are paragons of virtue who would never stoop to the vile tactics of the Republicans. I understand there is an ongoing investigation. I agree that any case against Trump should stand on its own merits, but admit that the virtue-signaling is somewhat rankling.
Offering up a partisan web site as your authority is a bit like citing Fox News as an authoritative source.
The previous administration and the Mueller probe would have been delighted to use it to bludgeon Trump with it had there been anything they could have used.
Well, that didn’t take long.
What is the Fox/Republican take on the Steele dossier? I haven't paid attention, natch.
Seems to me it was just oppositional research into a political rival. But I could be wrong.
At any rate, it would be in a different category than international extortion by a sitting president, surely.
What if the sitting president being extorted says he's not?

Of course he does--he wants support from the U.S., and/or he doesn't want to be on the receiving end of Putin-style retribution. Kind of like the battered wife who insists she's just clumsy. Fortunately, there are transcripts.
