Posted on 1/9/19 at 10:42 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 11: DATE ADDED: JULY 19-30, 2016
CLAIM: igor Sechin, a crony of Putin and the CEO of Russian oil giant Rosneft, met secretly with Page during a trip that the Trump campaign adviser made to Moscow in early July 2016. Sechin allegedly brought up the possibility of removing Ukraine-related sanctions against Russia, which Page allegedly “reacted positively” to. Page also met secretly with senior Kremlin official Igor Divyekin.
STATUS: Unsubstantiated. Page did visit Moscow during the time that the dossier claims. But the visit, where Page gave a speech at the New Economic School, had been revealed in the press by the time Steele made this allegation. Page has denied ever meeting Sechin and Divyekin.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 12: DATE ADDED: JULY 19-30, 2016
CLAIM: “An intelligence exchange had been running between [the Trump team and Kremlin] for at least 8 years.”
STATUS: Unsubstantiated
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 13: DATE ADDED: JULY 19-30, 2016
CLAIM: “Putin’s priority requirement” in the information exchange with Trump world was to obtain information about Russian oligarchs and their families. Trump and his associates supplied the information.
STATUS: Unsubstantiated.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 14: DATE ADDED: JULY 19-30, 2016
CLAIM:“The Kremlin had more intel on Clinton and her campaign.”
STATUS: CONFIRMED. At the time the memo was written, Russian operatives had already hacked into the email account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. WikiLeaks would begin publishing those hacked emails in October 2016.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 15: DATE ADDED: August 10, 2016
CLAIM: Page “conceived and promoted” the idea of releasing hacked DNC emails through WikiLeaks.
STATUS: Unsubstantiated. Page has denied allegations in the dossier. He has also not faced charges in the special counsel’s probe.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 16: DATE ADDED: SEPT 14, 2016
CLAIM: “The Kremlin had further ‘kompromat’ on candidate Clinton and had been considering releasing this via ‘plausibly deniable’ channels after the Duma (legislative) elections were out of the way in mid-September.”
STATUS: CONFIRMED. WikiLeaks would begin releasing Podesta emails a month after Steele wrote this claim in the dossier.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 17: DATE ADDED: SEP 14, 2016
CLAIM: Russian diplomat Mikhail Kalugin was withdrawn from Washington at short notice because of his “heavy involvement in the US presidential election operation.” Kalugin took part in the veterans’ pension “ruse” to help fund the active measures campaign.
STATUS: PARTIALLY TRUE. Kalugin was called back from Washington, D.C., at the time the dossier claims he was. But he denied to McClatchy that he was involved in paying any operatives to influence the election
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 18: DATE ADDED: SEP 14TH, 2016
CLAIM: Trump participated in sex parties in St. Petersburg, Russia, and paid bribes to make the stories “disappear.” Azerbaijani-Russian billionaire Aras Agalarov would know the details.
STATUS: Unsubstantiated. Trump does know Agalarov. They partnered on a deal to host the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Russia. The Agalarov family was also involved in the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting. It was set up at the request of Agalarov’s son, Emin Agalarov.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 19: DATE ADDED: OCT 20, 2016
CLAIM: “Clandestine meeting between … Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen and Kremlin representatives in August 2016.” The meeting took place in Prague.
STATUS: Likely false. Cohen vehemently denied the allegation as recently as Dec. 27, following a report from McClatchy that cellphone evidence shows that Cohen’s phone pinged off of a tower in Prague. Cohen’s denial has carried some weight because he has already cooperated extensively with the special counsel. Washington Post reporter Greg Miller also claimed in October 2018 that FBI and CIA official said that the Cohen-Prague claim was likely not true. Cohen has also been sentenced in the special counsel’s investigation, but was not charged with crimes related to campaign-related hacking.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 20: DATE ADDED: OCT 20TH, 2016
CLAIM: A Kremlin-controlled cultural exchange group called Rossotrudnichestvo “was being used as cover for this relationship and its office in Prague may well have been used to host the Cohen meeting/s.”
STATUS: Unsubstantiated

DOSSIER ALLEGATION 21: DATE ADDED: OCT 20TH, 2016:
CLAIM: “Konstantin Kosachev (head of the Foreign Relations Committee) is an important figure in the Trump campaign-Kremlin liaison operation.”
STATUS: Unsubstantiated. Kosachev has denied involvement.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 22: DATE ADDED: OCT 20TH, 2016
CLAIM: Rosneft CEO Sechin offered Page a 19 percent brokerage stake on a deal involving the Russian oil giant in return for getting sanctions lifted if Trump was elected president. Page expressed interest in the proposal.
STATUS: Unsubstantiated. Page has denied ever meeting Sechin or being offered a brokerage deal for Rosneft.
DOSSIER ALLEGATION 23: DATE ADDED: DEC 13, 2016
CLAIM: “A company called XBT/Webzilla and its affiliates had been using botnets and porn traffic to trasmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct ‘altering operations’ against the Democratic party leadership. Entities linked to one Aleksej Gubarev were involved and he and another expert, both recruited under duress by the FSB, Seva Kapsugovich, were significant players in this operation.”
STATUS: FALSE Gubarev sued BuzzFeed and Steele for publishing the dossier containing this allegation. BuzzFeed later apologized to Gubarev and redacted his name from the dossier, but a judge ruled in the website’s favor on Dec. 19. Kapsugovich appears to have been in prison when the dossier claims he was involved in the hacking scheme.
