Mueller doing a poor job of looking for Russia interference by providing material for Steele dossier

NY Times:

Trump, Undeterred by Sessions’s Rebuke, Urges Him to Examine Corruption on the ‘Other Side’

President Trump said “everyone” wants the Justice Department to resist political considerations as he resumed attacks on his attorney general.
The only clear case of Russian interference used by a candidate was that by Hillary Clinton and her campaign which paid for the Steele dossier and fed it to the FBI to use as an excuse for spying on the Trump campaign.  That seems to be pretty clear Russian collusion in an attempt to discredit the Trump campaign.

I have yet to hear a persuasive argument why that should not be a subject of inquiry by the DOJ or Mueller.  Ignoring plays into an obvious case of one-sided and unfair treatment.  Even though the dossier has been discredited, it was still used to effect the election and has been used by some as a basis for the coup attempt they have been trying against the Trump administration.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
