No its Clearly not a hoax as daily more info comes out about how it was clinton behind it from the startThe Durham arrests are tied to the Steele dossier. A tiny and insignificant part of the Russian collusion between Trump campaign and the Russians. The GOP have seized upon it and are using it a stick, in an attempt to tie together the whole Russian thing as a hoax. The reality is, the Trump campaign were in cahoots with the Ruskies but it could not be proved or discounted.
The Steele dossier is a sideshow for Trump suckers. Like yourself.
