EILAT, Israel — The founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped the researcher hired to compile the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to share the document with Sen. John McCain.

The goal of providing the dossier to McCain, the Fusion GPS founders explained, was to pass the information contained in the questionable document to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration.

CT has been doing some very detailed, well-researched analyses on this complex and sometimes bewildering intersection of data.

Read this and play the videos. Pay particular attention to Clappers' statements on MTP.

Amazing stuff, Kabar! Thanks. Reads like an Alfred Conan Doyle or a Rex Stout mystery novel. We sure could use a super-sleuth like Sherlock Holmes or Nero Wolfe to help "solve" his ultra-complex case.

Seein’ as how, Juan McCainmesty is taking his last breaths these days and subsequently won’t respond.

Even Wolff told his daughter today that “off the record” disappears when the principal of the article dies.

I recall that Rush or Mark Steyn said he didn’t understand all the hullabaloo around McCain jetting to Russia to return with the document. It was already in the hands of the Obama Administration.

…Anyway, talk about collusion!

This article makes a big thing about McCain being the go between. Why did Fusion need to have McCain put the dossier in the FBI’s hands? Fusion and Steele admit that they started giving it to the FBI in July so they had no need to have it given to the FBI. I think they saw that since Trump might/did win they needed a cover for the dossier bring provided to the FBI. They probably did not expect the fact that it was given to the FBI in July to come out.

Maybe McCain doesn’t have Brain Cancer.

Someone might have put an Earwig in his Ear while he was napping. (Night Gallery / Lawrence Harvey shout out)

Every one of them should be charged under the RICO statute for racketeering and influence peddling of the most nefarious kind, designed to destroy the Trump presidency and the will of the People.

But so far the DOJ has been ineffectually compromised, and if a grand jury is not convened to prosecute these ba$tards, then it will mean civil war.

Hold onto your hats, this is not going to wax placid any time soon.

John McCain was a naval aviator whose nickname was “crash” because he could barely land his aircraft on the decks of aircraft carriers.

And so McCain’s crash karma continued throughout his life, leaving in his wake a plethora of broken men and women, failed promises, and betrayed colleagues.Such is the legacy of the inconstant, of the disloyal, and of those whose lives are defined by revenge and a false sense of superiority.

His exit from politics is to be celebrated, may he RIP in that great fighter cockpit in the sky.

All I can hope is that John McCain’s remaining days are that of pure, crystalline agony, him lying on the floor, under a table, sweating and twitching and lying in a puddle of his own sick, his horrified eyes wide open and his mouth gaping open in an eternal silent scream.

I want him to suffer, more than I want the world to experience joy.

If McCain did this.... I hope he gets.... on second thought, if I continued, it might be perceived as a little over the top and beyond humor. I don’t think so, but others might.

See my comments above.

Wow, that's a lot.

;-)

But seriously..... let me take this opportunity to thank you for your Real History of FR.

You are one funny and intelligent guy.

I read that years ago, and I sat my wife down last Sunday morning and read the whole thing out loud to her.

It was great. (Then The Sunday Morning Shows came on and we puked for a good while.)

Agree.

McCain did not travel to get dossier.

He sent someone to England to pick up the Dossier (that at least is the story).

Then he “said” he hand delivered it to Comey.

But yes, Comey and ComDems surrogates already had it.

Last time I checked, Night Gallery was Fiction.

It was a great episode though, especially the epic twist at the end. I remember being surprised by it, just like the end of The Usual Suspects.
