#2 Most intelligence officials, such as former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, have embraced the concerns laid out in the Steele dossier of possible ‐ but still unproven ‐ collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

"Possible ‐ but still unproven"...referred to in the intelligence community as unverified information not intelligence. Before information can become 'intelligence' it must be verified (usually by multiple sources) and classified as either reliable or unreliable.

If months and years after the 'information' (Steele dossier) surfaces and is investigated and analyzed, no reliability can be established, the 'information' should be classified as unreliable and discarded.

'Reliable intelligence' is an indicator, it is still not a fact. For example; 'reliable intelligence' may point to Saddam as having had a nuclear capability. Facts my eventually prove otherwise.

Clapper and Brennan are operating in the realm of politics, not intelligence.
