Steele meeting with FBI agents prior to the election and giving them a briefing and a copy of his incomplete dossier on his work supports your assertion that the FBI was unaware of the dossier until they received it after the election?
What drugs are you on that allow that to be a credible claim?
Or are you saying the fact that Steele was employed by FuisionGPS after the Washington Free Beacon ended their relationship with them, at which point he obtained information from Russian sources on behalf of the DNC, is proof that the Clinton campaign did not pay for Steele to obtain information from Russian sources even though he was not hired until after the DNC paid for the oppo research on Trump to continue?
This claim is about as credible as the first one.
Even the Washington Compost (which as I understand it is not favorable to white people, let alone Trump), seems to dispute your version of events.
They claim in the article I link below that Steele was hired
after the DNC hired them to continue the dirt digging that began when the Washington Free Beacon stopped funding the file.
And they seem to outright say the FBI had at least sections of the Steele Dossier prior to the election:
"
Steele, by his own account, was sufficiently alarmed by what he had been told by his Russian sources that in early July [2016] he sought out a contact in the FBI, located in Rome, to supply the memo and other information.."
They also acknowledge in that article that Steele had worked with the FBI before.
And the FBI was made aware of the Steele Dossier by Steele himself "prior to" being told by the Australian government of the conversation between Papadopolous and Alexander Downer (a conversation that happened
after the supposed Russian hack of DNC emails).
When the FBI became aware of the Papadopolous and Downer meeting, according to the Compost article cited, the FBI then contacted Steele for more information. Again, prior to the election.

Note: You are, as always very confused, probably because you refuse to pay attention, I wasn't talking about Steele. In addition, the FBI (which is one of the USA''s 17 intelligence agencies have been investigating Russia essentially non-stop for decades. The
dossier is not the end-all-be-all... contrary to your apparent beliefs.
Anyway, my post was about the Russian Probe being pushed by Republicans not Democrats... my post was not about who employed Steele when and to what extent. (I don't think my post even mentioned Steele.)
It is obvious that Republicans were the driving force for the Russia investigation from the beginning. Sure, Democrats and the media (including conservative media) became obsessed with the investigation.
However, the Democrats did not start it. Why? Because they did not have the power to start an investigation into Trump relative to anything.
Hillary, the love of your life, was absent from the process, as was the DNC. While it is conceivable that Hillary got some of the information related to Russia, for some reason (even though she is a super evil villain) she didn't go after Trump relative to Russia during the election. At least not in any significant way... not with anything substantive like information from the
dossier.
In addition, the evil DNC never did either.... the evil
Dark State never did either. At least not in any significant way.
You have been duped by your own inability to pay attention to details.
