So, Christopher Steele's dossier has been in the forefront of late. Trump defenders have been gleefully thinking it would somehow hurt Clinton and the Democrats. But a new examination of Steele and his dossier is about to command our attention, and Mueller, you can be certain, already has all this information. And that dossier is gonna make a comeback. Quite possibly enough to take down a President. Once one understands who Steele is, and why he cannot not be taken seriously, this information, which has been available for review by anyone for awhile now, after all, will assume the importance it has deserved from the start. More raw intelligence then a true dossier, Steele believes it will prove to be 70-90% accurate:

"Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who compiled an explosive dossier of allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, believes it to be 70% to 90% accurate, according to a new book on the covert Russian intervention in the 2016 US election.
The book, Collusion: How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win, by the Guardian journalist Luke Harding, quotes Steele as telling friends that he believes his reports – based on sources cultivated over three decades of intelligence work – will be vindicated as the US special counsel investigation digs deeper into contacts between Trump, his associates and Moscow.
“I’ve been dealing with this country for 30 years. Why would I invent this stuff?” Steele is quoted as saying.
One of the reasons his dossier was
taken seriously in Washington in 2016 was Steele’s reputation in the US for producing reliable reports on Russia, according to Harding’s book.
Between 2014 and 2016, he authored more than a hundred reports on Russia and Ukraine, which were commissioned by private clients but shared widely within the state department and passed across the desks of the secretary of state, John Kerry, and the assistant secretary Victoria Nuland, who led the US response to the annexation of Crimea and the covert invasion of eastern Ukraine.
The sources for those reports were the same as those quoted in the dossier on Trump, which included allegations that the Kremlin had personally compromising material on the US president, including sex tapes recorded during a trip to Moscow in 2013, and that Trump and his associates actively colluded with Russian intelligence to influence the election in his favour."
