He is quoted by DOJ officials as saying he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.”
The sources of much of the information in his dossier are known Clinton associates like Sydney Blumenthal.
You make it sound like I shouldn't trust FOX on their reporting on democrats.

Or he leaked the data as retaliation for Comey opening the investigation on Hillary at the end of the campaign and the FBI never paying him for his job.

Page is making a living doing appearances on Hannity.
Ehh. No one claims Page got $11bn. Gazprom sold $11bn of it's shares to Glencore Plc, a multinational commodity trader, seemingly as a way to circumvent the sanctions.
Until being fired, Steele actually had a long business relationship with the FBI and was considered a credible and reliable source. The only reason to question his credibility seems to be his anti-Trump bias. Now that's a one thing, but for example Page's congressional testimony already has corroborated many of the things in the dossier, so it's quite clearly at the very least not all bs.
I ask again, what actual reasons are there to question Steele "as a credible source of news", besides your bias against him for attacking Trump?
