“As much as I dislike McCain, I find this very hard to believe. More Fake News making the rounds, probably.”
It’s Wikileaks, it’s accurate - don’t get them confused with our media.
But it’s also generic, it doesn’t talk about how ‘relations could be improved’ by a ‘modest donation’ to McCain for President, for example. So it was probably one name from a list of 500,000 names...that will happen, but it means nothing until Russians actually give him money.
Even so...we should beat on McCain anyway - does anyone deny that Trump would not be let off if the letter had been written under his name?
They’re whipping up a bizarre soufflé of falsehoods trying to paint Trump as a Russian stooge, so I don’t care if it’s a generic request for donation, it’s a request for money from Russia by uber-***head John McCain and therefore he deserves to be hammered on it. There’s more truth to claiming McCain is influenced by Russia than there is in claiming that Trump is, in black and white.
