Happens to trump companies all the time you mean.
I pulled a retail business through the recession by the skin of my teeth without filing bankruptcy. we had just started doing really well and boom. 2009 came and the market died for luxury items. We reduced staff and inventory, stocked more inexpensive rugs and pulled through. That's how businesses suceed. Not by borrowing and reneging on loans and then fi!ing bankruptcy. When I sold it in 2014 it was thriving again. Still is as far as I can tell when I drive by there.

Ok. I read all ten pages and I did not see where it says it's false.
Once again you are taking the words unverified and changing it to debunked.
I'm done.
You're completely disingenuous.

I was referring to another interview that Steele gave actually. That wasn't my interpretation of his words, it was his words.

So your belief is I could say anything i want about you and unless you could prove me false then it is true?
After Mr. Trump secured the nomination, Fusion GPS was hired on behalf of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and the D.N.C. by their law firm, Perkins Coie, to compile research about Mr. Trump, his businesses and associates — including possible connections with Russia. It was at that point that Fusion GPS hired Mr. Steele, who has deep sourcing in Russia, to gather information.

He is stating that nowhere in the US Criminal Code can you find a search result for "Collusion"
Correct.
The charges that legal experts speculate Mueller might bring include:
Obstruction of Justice
the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
a more general conspiracy charge — to defraud the United States —
money laundering.
Some experts have suggested that the special counsel probe may result in charges under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the landmark cybercrime law that makes it illegal to aid in a computer intrusion. If any of Trump’s associates knew about and encouraged the hacking of Democrats' emails and computer servers, they could be charged under the statute.

I believe it will be fruit of the poisoned tree kind of stuff
Yes, even if the investigation turns up criminality by Trump team memebers, their lawyers will artgue that this aggregious using paid oppo research in part to spy on ASmericans taints the entire investigation.
This could tank it all.
However, I am more concerned about the idea of the intel community under Obama being used as a weapon to target opponents and strip their civil liberties.
This could be the beginning of a very big investigation into the investigators.
