Nope. The Steel Dossier sat on desks of pollies, but copies were passed around. Some of the items in it were possible violations and so it made it's way into intelligence hands (McCain gave one to them)- and most of it was not looked on well by intelligence, but a few things they were curious about. No one bought the golden showers part, and it was deliberately not made clear what intelligence was curious about.
