The Trump-Ukraine whistleblower complaint looks just like 'Steele Dossier 2.0'

In his dossier, Steele levied shocking accusations of corruption and impropriety by Trump and his team, going so far as to claim that Trump was bought and paid for by Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, who allegedly had compromising information on Trump that all but forced Trump to do the Kremlin's bidding.

"Source B asserted that the Trump operation was both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin," Steele wrote.

"Source A confided that the Kremlin had been feeding Trump and his team valuable intelligence on his opponents," including Hillary Clinton, Steele claimed.

Referring to the infamous and nonexistent pee tape, Steele said, "The Moscow Ritz Carlton episode involving Trump was confirmed by Source E. Source F, a female staffer at the hotel when Trump had stayed there also confirmed the story."

Much like Steele, the Ukraine informant lacked first-hand access to evidence he claimed proved Trump's guilt.

After Steele compiled his dossier, he peddled the allegations to numerous reporters, who then dutifully reported them as fact.

While Steele used anti-Trumpers inside the FBI to weaponize his anti-Trump dirt, the complainant in the Ukraine case has Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
