"The report appears to fail the veracity test in the one instance of a purported meeting in which the names, dates and location are provided. Some of the stories are so bizarre (the Rosneft bribe) that they fail the laugh test..."
This is one of many articles.

Just so we're all on the same page... by "credible and reputable" do you really mean credible and reputable or do you actually mean exposed fake news sources?

Can you even imagine what a lawless shitehole our country would be if those colors were reversed
That statement could actually spin off a lengthy thread of its own.
But to address the sentiment succinctly: Detroit.
Louis Miriani was the last Republican mayor of Detroit. The 63rd mayor of Detroit, Miriani's term of office was September 12, 1957 – January 2, 1962.
Up to this point, Democrats and Republicans shared terms as mayor beginning in 1860. (List of mayors of Detroit, Wikipedia)
Jerome Cavanagh, a Democrat, beat Miriani and assumed office In Jan 1962. Since then Detroit has been under uninterrupted Democratic leadership spanning the next 55 years.
The following two-part video was produced in support of Detroit's bid to serve as an Olympic host city. This video was meant to showcase Detroit, and it achieved its goal. Even knowing that every city has its negatives, this video is quite impressive. Detroit was a marvelous place.
It is the Democrat Cavanagh who provides the introduction to the video. The decades of growth and achievements highlighted in the were the result of the city being led by competing political ideologies. Voters gave both parties opportunities to lead the direction of the city.
When you have 20 minutes to spare watch the videos. You'll be amazed at what Detroit once was and it will provide a new perspective on the the cities current condition.
We see today's Detroit in its depressed and dilapidated condition, but many of us don't understand just how far Detroit has fallen under half a century of pure Democratic leadership.

RE: BBC article on parts of the Steele Dossier verified.
I've been a right leaning my entire life. I've either been a registered republican or a libertarian, and I'm absolutely disappointed and nonplused the levels of cognitive dissonance that republicans have displayed. Conservatives were upset at Benghazi, Clinton meeting AG, and the missing emails (all rightly so btw) ;but Russia meetings, FBI investigations, obstruction, abuses of power, violations of emoluments and the list goes on, they find excuses. I just don't understand I really don't.

Hmm...
There's no dead ambassador (Benghazi)
There's no complicit Attorney General (instead they appointed a special prosecutor themselves)
There's no destroyed evidence (emails). In fact instead of deleting emails, Junior published his.

There's no complicit Attorney General (instead they appointed a special prosecutor themselves) nope just a complicit campaign chair, senior staffer, and national security adviser. Oh and and Ag that perjured himself.

The difference is there to see.
You can't be mad at both? Yes no one has died thankfully, but they've only conspired to hijack the very thing that we tout about all the time, our identity in our democracy. Jr published the emails only after the NYT told him they were going to publish them but not before lying several times about the meeting its nature and who was involved. Let's not pretend that jr is transparent, we're all grownups here.

Perhaps if there was some of that thar stuff they call evidence, ya know? Are you sure you lean right? Because your list looks like it was lifted off of HuffPo or the NYT or maye WashPo, talking points all.

Yes I'm on the right side of the spectrum. I'd call leaked emails, conversation transcripts, amd sworn testimony evidence. My moral compass doesn't point wherever the winning team tells me to point it.

They are evidence of something. They are not evidence of anything criminal.
