In yet another twist to the ‘Trump dossier,’ saga, we now learn that Fusion GPS Co-founder Glenn Simpson personally gave Senator John McCain (R-AZ) a copy of the now discredited dossier. Earlier reports suggested that McCain was made aware of the dossier from British associates, but was never in possession of the document’s final draft.
“A new book out by Guardian journalist Luke Harding ["Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win,”] provides previously unknown details about the Trump dossier and its author, former British spy Christopher Steele,” writes the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross.
Daily Caller reports:
It has been previously reported that McCain was aware of the dossier before it was published by BuzzFeed on Jan. 10. He was told of its existence in Nov. 2016 by Sir Andrew Wood, a former British ambassador and associate of Steele’s. It was also known that a copy was passed to McCain and his associate, David Kramer.
What was not known was that McCain was provided a final copy of the dossier directly by Simpson, the former Wall Street Journal reporter who started Fusion GPS.
“Les than twenty-four hours later, Kramer returned to Washington. Next, Simpson shared a copy of the dossier confidentially with McCain.”
McCain’s spokeswoman did not respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment.
In section of Ross’ piece subtitled “Reporters at competing outlets cooperated on anti-Trump efforts,” it’s reveals that mainstream media reports, fiercely competitive over scoops and exclusives, colluded together in an effort to push Trump-Russia hysteria.
Daily Caller has more:
In the book, Harding describes how reporters at competing outlets rallied together as part of an effort to expose Trump’s alleged Russia ties.
“There was healthy competition still, but reporters on different titles began working together

Ankle monitor. Cane=weapon of choice/opportunity/convenience. Don’t ask him about that ankle monitor, you dummy...
Puzzle solved - Hillary is John McCain in drag
You win the internet today. Hehehe. d:^D
IF Russia had wanted Donald Trump to WIN, then WHY THE HELL did they write such a HORRIBLE DOSSIER??? Occam’s Razor...they wanted the easily Blackmailable Hilliary to win! geesh!
Oh, and PLUS they still owed her for the Uranium One deal!!
The propaganda media paints putin’s russia as this horrible bogeyman from their soviet past.(A past our media defended at the time) In truth, the demoncrat party are the foot soldiers and torchbearers of that murderous flame of socialism/communism. The red-headed step children of soviet subversion.
Perspective:
Who is more anti-America, more marxist & a bigger threat to America’s future survival? Putin’s russia or today’s demoncrat party? /rhet.
Who is a bigger psychopath & tyrant? Hillary Clinton or Vladmir Putin? /rhet. I bet hillary’s personal body count is higher than Vlads...
McCain scumbag bump for later....
“they wanted the easily Blackmailable Hilliary to win!”
That is the answer that has been SCREAMING for months, but no media outlets will open their ears.
It’s become obvious that all of the left’s bull**** allegations against PRESIDENT Trump “colluding” with the Russkis were created by the far left and RINO Trump haters to take the spotlight off of the collusion of the commie “democrats” and Trump haters with the Russians. Americans were played, BIGTIME!
FWIW, if anything took place at that security conference in Halife in August, thus timeline is bunk.
Halifax....
Sounds like the book is just more "Russia hacked the election for Trump" BS.
Yup. The true crime, the high crime that’s being buried here is that the propaganda media, in concert with the corrupted agencies of the fed govt, were spying on the Trump campaign. Worse, it was and is an ongoing conspiracy to take down a lawfully elected President of the United States.
A massive conspiracy by our corrupt govt. High crimes & high treason across the board. The most monumental story in America history. Too bad we don’t have a real media to tell that story.
The American wannabe Mme. Ceaușescu almost pulled it off. Better luck in hell, loser. At least Elena Ceaușescu was better-looking.
For all the crying and moaning, the two-time loser set the women's status back 70 years. And most importantly, her most visible lifetime achievement is reaching multi-millionaire status, as a "public" servant, in spite of her agonizing and touting "for the children" and "helping others" and "what's best for the country."
I suppose that trailer parks are not the only rich environments through which to drag $100 bills hunting for blind power and wealth ambitions...
Isn't it time again for the criminal cow to remind herself that she is determined never again to run for public office? And just go away?
It’s all about the abuse of FISA unmasking and spin attention to Trump dossier. And an excuse for Comey to unmask Trump campaign.
Wow. McCain is an even bigger turd than I thought he is. That is quite an accomplishment for this corksoaker.
