I think Burr is playing politics with a dossier provided by a man highly trusted in British intelligence.
Facts are facts REGARDLESS of the source. Asking for the source of facts presented in the Steele Dossier is an attempt to cast doubt on the information. It doesn't matter who the source is. If it is a fact it stands alone.
...And so, (click here) on a warm day last June, Christopher Steele, ex-Cambridge Union president, ex-M.I.6 Moscow field agent, ex-head of M.I.6’s Russia desk, ex-adviser to British Special Forces on capture-or-kill ops in Afghanistan, and a 52-year-old father with four children, a new wife, three cats, and a sprawling brick and wood suburban palace in Surry, received in a second floor office at Orbis a transatlantic call from an old client....
With the Senate Committee willing to dismiss a highly valuable dossier because their demands are not met to speak directly to Mr. Steele or known his sources causes me a great deal of pause to think Senator Burr is willing to play with the sovereign state of the USA.
The President of the USA receives a PDB everyday. It is from US intelligence. Are the PDBs provided with footnotes as to the sources of the information? If Republicans are too stubborn to act on vital information from highly respected agents to the country; that explains September 11, 2001 all to well.
The Republicans are untrustworthy with national security. They have their own agenda and it does not include the sovereignty of the country or safety of the people of the country. From where I sit based in past and current performance of Republicans it is all to obvious. I call it an incompetency.
