"CORROBORATED LIMITED INFORMATION... MUCH OF THAT WAS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE."

There is NOT ONE piece of original reporting in the Steele dossier that turned out to be true. The only "confirmed" details were from prior public news reports, and even got some of those wrong...

THE STEELE DOSSIER IS BULLSHIT BECAUSE:

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, a Barack Obama appointee, conducted an extensive investigation of the issuance of four FISA warrants that required an in-depth review of the Steele dossier:

@mtaibbi In what sense was the Steele dossier bullshit? Are you saying the entire thing was bullshit? Because much of it has been corroborated and confirmed since it was leaked.

Weird of someone with your reputation just dismissing an entire collection of credible info.

The statement and accompanying images discuss the credibility and origins of the Steele dossier, a controversial document related to allegations against a public figure. The tone is critical and dismissive, suggesting that the dossier's contents were based on unverified and exaggerated claims. The statement engages in public discourse by addressing a significant political issue and the integrity of intelligence reporting.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement aims to expose what it perceives as misinformation, which can be seen as an attempt to do no harm by clarifying the truth. However, the dismissive tone and use of terms like 'bullshit' could be seen as harmful to the individuals involved. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy of individuals by not revealing personal details but does engage in a form of public shaming by calling out the dossier and its sources.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it takes a critical and somewhat mocking tone. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but does so in a manner that could be seen as a personal attack, particularly with the use of strong language like 'bullshit' and 'deep state vomit.' [-2]
  5. Principle 5:
    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
    The statement does not acknowledge any mistakes or provide a balanced view, focusing solely on discrediting the dossier. [-1]
  6. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses its platform to influence public opinion on a significant political issue, aiming to discredit the Steele dossier and those who support it. [+1]
  7. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principles of free speech but does so in a manner that could be considered irresponsible due to its harsh and dismissive language. [-1]
