#3 Smith wrote a piece in The New York Times Monday that gave some reasons for why BuzzFeed went ahead with publishing the dossier:

"First, the documents were in wide circulation among top intelligence and elected officials and news organizations. They were being fought over — and acted on — at the highest levels of power. But the rest of the country was getting only the occasional glimpse of those battles, never the source documents themselves."

Funny, BuzzFeed seemed to be remarkably disinterested in similar situations from 2008 onwards. Mr Smith came on board in 2011; apparently he found nothing of 'interest' in the years since then.
