In his newly released book, Sen. John McCain admits he knew the anti-Trump dossier that he infamously passed to the FBI contained “unproven accusations,” “mostly raw, unverified intelligence” and allegations about which the senator “had no idea” if “any were true.”
Yet McCain maintains he had an “obligation” to pass the wild charges against Donald Trump to FBI Director James Comey and he would even do it again. “Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell,” McCain exclaimed.
In the book The Restless Wave, McCain provides an inside account of how he says he came across the dossier.
He writes that he was told about the claims in the document at a security conference in Canada in November 2016, where he was approached by Sir Andrew Wood, a former British ambassador to Moscow and friend of ex-British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier.
McCain wrote that Wood told him Steele “had been commissioned to investigate connections between the Trump campaign and Russian agents as well as potentially compromising information about the President-elect that Putin allegedly possessed.”
McCain, however, did not address the obvious question of whether he was told exactly who “commissioned” Steele to “investigate” the alleged Russian ties.
The dossier was commissioned by the controversial Fusion GPS opposition research firm, which was paid for its anti-Trump work by Trump’s primary political opponents, namely Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via the Perkins Coie law firm.
McCain goes on to describe Wood as telling him Steele’s work “was mostly raw, unverified intelligence, but that the author strongly believed merited a thorough examination by counterintelligence experts.”

McCain is clearly a very bitter and angry man.
You first Captain Crash.
Historians will place John McCain in the appropriate hole.
Six men will place John in another hole.
Well, one can be sure that if they do go to hell, they will meet McCain there. Scumbag.
Hillary Clinton thanks McStain for his service.
Hateful guy.
McCain’s room is already booked.
HAHAHAHA
Go To Hell’ If You Don’t Like That
Is that McCain’s idea of gratitude and joy?
That’s not all you did, is it, Johnny...
Keep digging McCain. You’ll be the first to get to Hell.
And I’ll bet Benedict Arnold is saving a nice, warm spot for you...
Spot on. They are both narcissists with an ugly sense of entitlement. They are the kind of psychos who would spit in the punch bowl because they hated the host of the party.
This is not democracy.
If you haven’t figured that already, eh...?
John’s going to know Hell up close and personal soon enough. Maybe he just wants some contemporary company.
Brain tumors on parade.
