The Case Of The Russian Dossier On President Trump Is Now In The Courts

McClatchy News: Trump dossier author faces deposition

Washington: Within days, weeks at most, the former British spy behind the infamous dossier on Donald Trump could find himself forced by courts on both sides of the Atlantic to sit for a deposition.

The stakes are high for Christopher Steele. As it stands, he faces defamation lawsuits in England and the United States. And U.S. congressional committees and investigators want to talk to him about the contents of his dossier and who compensated him for his work.

But the stakes are also high for Trump, as Steele might be forced to provide corroborating evidence and even sources for the many charges in the dossier that allege collaboration between the Republican candidate and Russian operatives.

WNU Editor: If the author (Christopher Steele) of the Russian dossier on President Trump cannot verify its comments .... the legal consequences are going to be beyond severe for him. But if he can verify his claims .... wow .... this story (which is why the Mueller Commission was established) will get very interesting.

Update: Speaking of Robert Mueller .... some are getting restless .... Robert Mueller May Not Be The Savior The Anti-Trump Internet Is Hoping For (NPR). I have a different take .... this investigation is going to go on for a long time, it is just starting.
