On December 8th, 2017 Rachel Maddow and her team produced an in-depth report on the Christopher Steele Dossier. Unfortunately, with only one exception, none of the videos will play @ Daily Kos so posting the titles of the Six part series with links is the best I can do here. (note: videos can be posted, but they don’t play — so I didn't post them)
Also, posting a few excerpts and added opinionating by me just won't cut it. Too much ground is covered

Today, 12/ 29/ 2017, the Rachel Maddow show is a re-broadcast of this December 8th, 2017 special report. I’d been trying to locate and post a single complete version of the report as several were available on YouTube. They were not authorized by NBC, and all of them were subsequently quickly blocked from the YouTube accounts,
Here is the only MSNBC YouTube version of only one of the segments of the report (that will play here @ Daily Kos)

— again, after watching this TRMS report, GOP intransigence, and now their ongoing efforts to undermine the #TrumpRussia investigation become much more clear — imo
Hope this TRMS report proves to be as interesting for people as I found it to be :)
