= Russiagate
The Steele dossier (aka the Trump–Russia 'golden showers' dossier), was published in full by BuzzFeed on January 10, 2017, by journalists Ken Bensinger, Miriam Elder and Mark Schoofs.
Buzzfeed was also a conduit in other Russiagate disinformation pieces. Buzzfeed Journalists Anthony Cormier and Jason Leopold reported that "President Trump Directed His Attorney Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project" a story specifically denied by special counsel Robert Mueller.
"people involved with Russia, who have been murdered in Britain by the Russian state"
BuzzFeed “published the results of a long-running and in-depth investigation in 2017 in which it claimed that there are 14 cases of Russians, or people involved with Russia, who have been murdered in Britain by the Russian state, but which the British authorities have covered up (see https://www.buzzfeed.com/heidiblake/from-russia-with-blood-14-suspected-hits-on-british-soil?utm_term=.bkEjM8opP#.ropGB372Y ). The evidence is compelling.” [2]
