McCain predicts ‘there’s a lot more shoes to drop’ on Trump-Russia connection
The Washington Times ^ | March 12, 2017 | Ben Wolfgan

One of the Senate’s leading Republicans predicted Sunday that there are “a lot more shoes to drop” in the probe of President Trump’s connections to Russia and said Congress must call top Trump associates to Capitol Hill to testify.

Sen. John McCain of Arizona told CNN’s “State of the Union” program that he remains troubled by growing evidence that leading aides to the president communicated with Russia throughout the presidential campaign last year.

He specifically said longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone, who admitted last week to having conversations with the hacking group that claimed responsibility for the breach of Democratic Party emails, must come before Congress to answer questions.

“There’s a lot of things about our relations with Russia that trouble me a lot,” Mr. McCain said. “There’s a lot of aspects of this whole relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin that requires further scrutiny, and so far I don’t think the American people have gotten all the answers. In fact, I think there’s a lot more shoes to drop from this centipede.”

It’s been revealed that ousted White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Attorney General Jeff Sessions each had meetings or phone conversations with the Russian ambassador during last year’s campaign.

Democrats and other critics have seized on those communications to make their case that the Trump campaign may have worked with Russian agents during the election, or at least passively let those agents work against Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid.

Specifically, they say the Trump campaign may have encouraged or willingly turned a blind eye to Russian hacks of Democratic Party emails and messages of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chief, John Podesta. Both email dumps were deeply embarrassing for the Clinton campaign.

McCain sent the bogus Russian dossier to the FBI. Any fool could see it was a fraud. McCain is involved in the U.S. policy to support ISIS. This whole Middle East policy is a disaster.

Who said McCain is a “decent” person? Like the vast majority of geriatric bitter clingers to power in the US Senate, he’s a pox on America. There is NO man or woman in the world who is THAT important that they need to cling forever to Washington D.C..

Any decent person would have retired long before to spend time with family. It’s long past the time when he should have relinquished power to the younger generations. After all, he’s on the way out. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon enough, and the younger generations deserve their shot. 80+ years old is enough. Let someone else have a shot, McCain!

It wasn't Trump's job to provide computer security services to Hillary's campaign or the DNC.

This old traitorous goat is just an attention whore in his waning days.

I wish he’d just go back to Hanoi, where they loved him so much they erected a monument. He can take Jane with him. They’d make a lovely couple.

Colonel Ted Guy was preparing criminal charges against John McCain when Nixon took Admiral McCain’s little boy under his wing. Where are McCain’s 32 propaganda tapes that were made during Vietnam and broadcast over the radio to US troops? (see: Colonel Ted Guy)

Once they’re out they’re just another 80 year old with health problems. Nobody kisses their ass anymore. You bet they want to stay as long as possible.

That’s just because the CIA leverages malware that was originally coded by Russian programmers. This is how strains of malware propagate.

The different variants usually start off from existing strains and then modified to enhance it or plug holes, you can even buy ready made malware on the open market today.

Meanwhile, on Republican pundit Bill Mitchell’s twitter page, he says that Hillary and the Russian ambassador had six meetings at the Obama White House when the Hildebeast was negotiating the sale of 20% of America’s uranium deposits to the Russians through Uranium One.

It was claimed that Hillary received $145 million for her efforts. Her “husband” travelled to Russia and made two speeches for which he received $500,000 each.

It’s the RATS who are tied to Russia, NOT the GOP.

McCain, as usual, is a treasonous scumbag, just like he was in ‘nam, when he blabbed valuable military information to the North Vietnamese commies. There’s a reason they called him “songbird.”

McCain needs to put the interests of the American people over those of George Soros.

To this day I still can not understand why the vast majority of Arizona Republicans didn’t vote for Kelli Ward over this RINO. A lot of times I understand the RINO’s winning because there is no credible challenger or in the case of McDaniels out and out cheating by the GOP-e. But that didn’t seem to be the case in Arizona. It appeared that Ward had a great shot and the majority of AZ republicans just dropped the ball and couldn’t bring themselves to vote the RINO out.

As great as 2016 was that race was to me one of the few disappointments of last year.

McCain, always ready to break faith and betray at a moment’s notice.

One might recall that in Vietnam, his fellow POW's nicknamed him "Songbird."
