So just to clear up because Trump and others have been saying that the Steele Dossier is no different then what Trump said in the ABC interview. Steele is a private citizen hired by an American firm to do oppo research on Trump which he did with a dossier who’s content he was concerned enough with to go to the proper authorities over and to top it off Hillary never even used the dossier. Nothing about that situation is remotely similar to what Trump’s campaign did in 2016 or what he said in the interview.
You're missing the crux of Trump's argument, which is that Steele is British and not an American citizen.
It's still a dumb argument, though. Steele was alarmed enough by what he turned up that he turned his research over to the FBI, and nothing from Steele's research was ever used by the Clinton campaign.
The Steele Dossier is interesting...it was a fine "first draft" of what was going on, but like any first draft, got many things big and small wrong. It's interesting how many aspects of it panned out and how much of it very, very much did not pan out.
