then hired christopher steele, a former british intelligent officer to compile the steele dossier that reportedly used russian government sources for information. you see, it was a clinton campaign and the democratic national committee that funded the document that largely created the collusion narrative. a narrative that's been deemed false, and, of course, that's the irony here. the democrats paid for a document created by a foreign national with reported russian government sources, not trump. president trump did not do that. the democrats did, but apparently it's not over yet, or so the democrats tell us every day. their next step is to subpoena the entire mueller report. well, i agree congress and the public should see that information, and it sounds to me like president trump agrees as well. the attorney general already said on multiple occasions that he's going to release as much information as the law allows and as soon as he can. and it looks like congress, and likely the public, will get the mueller report this month of april sometimes, but democrats have requested more than j
