There is no evidence of any Trump Russian connection. This is worse than birtherism. Trump only questioned Obama's citizenship. He never declared Obama was a Kenyan. Some of the Democrats are openly declaring Trump is illegitimate. That is what is unacceptable.

The part where it was a retired British intel guy only makes it more dubious. ...
Nick Dowling is a former director on the National Security Council staff during the Clinton administration and is president of IDS International, a government services firm with business in research, training, expeditionary services and cybersecurity. David Handley is a former senior British government official and expert on intelligence and national security. He is an appointed member of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. Handley was a colleague of Chris Steele's in service with the British government and has known him for more than 20 years. The opinions expressed in this commentary are those of the authors.
Retired British intelligence officer Chris Steele, whose dossier takes to a new level the investigation of whether Russia attempted to influence the US election for the benefit of Donald Trump, learned his spycraft from the best.
Having known Chris Steele professionally for more than 20 years, we know that one should not question his integrity, excellence and diligence in intelligence work. He knows Russia exceptionally well and has relationships and experience in the country to support this type of analysis. For obvious reasons we assume that he cannot name his sources, but we do not doubt that he will have brought the same professional rigor to this study as he did to his work in the intelligence service.

When it's all said and done, I don't expect any Trump supporters to ever accept any kind of truth. They are after all denialists.
No, I look to U.S. Intelligence assessment and the efforts of investigative journalists from respected news sources. (not Brietbart, InfoWars, and other b.s. fake news sites).

Worse because the Trump/Russian connection has evidence to support it? Worse because intelligence agencies have confirmed Russia meddled and we already know Trump called on Russia to hack and release Hillary's emails?

Trump was making a joke. Hillary's emails were NEVER EVER released. EVER. So the point is moot.
Mr Steele is understood to have worked as an expert on Russia for 20 years during his time at MI6, and was sent to Moscow as a spy in 1990.
After leaving MI6, Mr Steele founded Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd with his business partner Christopher Burrows in 2009.
The company’s website says that it was “founded by former British intelligence professionals”. Based in Grosvenor Gardens, near Victoria railway station, Orbis says it has a “sophisticated investigative capability” and mounts “intelligence-gathering operations and conduct complex, often cross-border investigations”.
When Trump won the election in November and the Democrats accepted defeat Steele is said to have continued digging without pay after becoming so worried about alleged ties between Trump and the Kremlin, a security source told The Independent.

He may not even realize how corrupt it is. He may think this is just how it works. It's not like he knows what the rules actually are.
