re: 2 years later: A COMPLETE cliffnotes summary of each Dossier allegation, and its status

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.
