Buzzfeed did first report on the Steele dossier
Despite Fox and the right wing claiming how it has been "discredited" and "proven to be totally false" neither is the case.
There are items in that in fact have been "verified" and items that have "yet to be verified" but in fact NO ITEMS that "have been proven to be false"
The latter two are NOT the "same thing"
If I claim to have 10x7 it is and will remain in the category of "yet to be verified" and will NOT be "proven to be false" unless and until Christy Canyon shows up baked with a tape measure and which time she might "prove it to be false" when she might find it to be 9x6
But that is "yet to be verified"
