Myths and circular logic of the dirty dossier reporting

Paul Sperry:

Here are some of the biggest myths of the Russian-collusion story

This is a long piece with several problems with teh story, but this is one of my favorites:
...
Some press accounts have treated the dossier’s allegation that Russian officials offered Trump adviser Carter Page billions to end US sanctions as confirmed in September 2016 reporting by Yahoo News’ Michael Isikoff. But Isikoff’s “Western intelligence source” was almost surely the dossier itself. So the media used the dossier to corroborate the dossier. (Page, who has repeatedly denied under oath he met with the Russian officials cited in the dossier, is suing Yahoo News over the Isikoff story.)
...
That hints at the desperation of the left to push this bogus narrative.   It is looking like the dossier and the Democrats embrace of it may be one of the biggest frauds in the history of politics.
