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.

Did McCain meet Steele in Halifax in August, four months earlier? If so, why?

In other words, that dumbass McCain was used as a cutout so Obama, the DNC, Hillary, et al, could say (and are saying) “It wasn’t us!”

They all knew it wouldn't look as political as it was if it was McCain who gave them the dossier rather than the Hillary campaign who commissioned and paid for the report.

Yes. Nothing like an old Rep. Senator spilling BS on the Rep. nominee for President.

When McCain was young in school he wrestled. Two of his nicknames were "Punk" and "McNasty".

McCain is low.

I read that when McCain showed the documents to Comey, he was told that they had long been in conversation with Fusion GPS and already had the dossier.

I think McCain was part of gang of 8 at the time.

Headshake.

His absence from Congress will be a relief.

Absolutely right, Fusion GPS reviewed the terrain and determined that McCain would be a willing patsy who would lend credibility to their trash dossier because he was too dumb to know any different and he had a burning hatred for Trump. It also provided the FBI public cover for how they got their hands on the dossier by saying it came from McCain.

excellent

“In October, McCain denied providing the dossier to BuzzFeed and said that he only gave the material to the FBI.”

Is there any difference between the two?

Your photo montage of the Deep Swamp remains very racist. 8<)

You are excluding the top managers (at the Obama White House offices and the DOJ)!

Leave him be...and just let him pass on in peace. His justice will not come from any of us human beings. He is in the hands of Lord, God
On the other hand we're told if he/we simply confess our sins we'll/he'll be forgiven

This is the kind of phony double speak hypocrisy I hate about organized religion.

Yes it’s smoke. They needed a cover to dilute the sources and help camouflage them.

They best bury him in an unmarked grave, or he will be presented with a lot of “gifts” after he is gone.

“Where is McCain? I live in AZ and not a peep in the media about him at all!”

No one is hearing anything from Frau Clinton this year.

A Freeper suggested putting her picture on a milk carton and asking, “Has anyone seen me!”.

Maybe Juan’s picture could be next to Frau Clinton’s pic on milk cartons asking the same question. “Has anyone seen me!”.

Probably a good time for Governor Ducey to suggest to McCain it might be a good time to retire. Then appoint Sherriff Arpaio to finish out McCain’s term.

That would drive the rats mad.

"The only problem with that chronology is that McCain gave the dossier to Comey in December 2016 and the alleged FISA warrant was issued in October 2016. Some doubts are now arising that there was ever a FISA warrant."

And who is the source of that timeline? The FBI? The Justice Dept?

It would not surprise me to find that it was created in-house at CIA or FBI and all this Steele/Fusion stuff was just to launder its origins. I'm pretty sure Fusion GPS is just a front for the Clintonian faction in CIA.

Hmmmm ....... very interesting.
