The House Intelligence Committee has issued a subpoena to an associate of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) over his connection with the controversial dossier containing unverified allegations about President Trump and his ties to Russia, The Hill confirmed on Wednesday.
Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) wants to talk to David Kramer, a former State Department official and current senior director at the nonprofit McCain Institute, about his visit to London in November 2016, a source familiar with the matter confirmed.
The Washington Examiner's Byron York first reported on the subpoena.
While in London, Kramer met with the dossier's author, former British spy Christopher Steele, at McCain's request, to view “the pre-election memoranda on a confidential basis,” according to court filings.
Kramer then flew back to the U.S. and delivered a copy of the memos to McCain, who then handed the documents to the FBI.
The subpoena for Kramer to appear before House investigators on Jan. 11 comes after he met with the panel earlier this month.
The dossier has long been a key interest of Republicans, who want to find out if its claims were used as the basis for a surveillance warrant on Trump campaign associates.
Democrats, on the other hand, are interested to learn whether the allegations made against the president in the dossier are true.
Certain parts of the dossier have either been confirmed or proven false, while other parts of the memo compilation remain unverified.
The Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign partly funded the dossier, created by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS.

Looks like McCain is involved in this up to his eyeballs.
Been posted several times, beginning on the 27th of Dec 2017 when it first was reported.
Yes, I see them down the list now, although not from The Hill.
I would not be surprised if it turns out that HILLIARY and McCAIN went halvsies in paying for this trash..............
That was my speculation too. McCain and Hillary have always been very close.
McCain will skate, citing brain cancer and health issues.....................
Sometimes I think the search does not work correctly. Seems to me I saw one by the Hill as well, but then again I could be mistaken. 8>)
Why do all these a$$hats have their own institute?
The SOB dying in prison would be nice.
It's more likely that Hillary paid for it and McCain agreed to deliver it to the FBI in order to keep Hillary's fingerprints off it. Who put McCain in contact with Steele in the first place?
Ain’t gonna happen.
The Grim reaper is faster that Lady Justice..........
Probably had his name on it...................
That’s how they funnel money into their pockets, and they payoff the donors and contributors with their vote and policy that benefits the big money donors and contributors.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
interesting to note that Kramer crossed tracks at Dept of Sate when both were working at State around 2010. Also Kramer's job was in a "russian affairs" department what's up with this?
As I’ve said before, wouldn’t surprise me if the Undocumented Democrat is in this up to his neck.
They better get McCain to speak the truth before he kicks the bucket. Oh, never mind.

Hide the bribes
This is EXACTLY what the Dems have accused Trump of doing! Except it's not Trump or Putin and there is actually evidence of COLLUSION!
