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.

Trump “insulted” McLame, Mitch and the entire Senate(in their minds) so the Senate will not cut him any slack.

A good friend of ours has parents living outside of Phoenix somewhere. They're lifelong democrats, the nasty kind, the father is a real piece of work.

He and his wife have voted for years as republicans just to screw with the primary process. He votes McLame everytime and brags about all his shenanigans.....he's a real POS. I have zero respect for him....

Does anyone even care any more...?

John McTraitor is playing for the Demonrats.

Ever notice the RATS all get the same talking points going the day after a crises starts? The Russian connection is the only thing the RATS have so McCain, who is a CC on the RATS emails, is sticking to the talking points.

At this point, only an idiot would believe Hussein Obama's Russian connection to Trump. The real problem was John "Moron Pedophile" Podesta was using a GMAIL account with a password of p@ssw0rd. Imagine leaving the keys to the RAT party dirty tricks (and clues to Podesta's pedophile lifestyle) on a GMAIL account!

You can't make this stuff up. Now the Presstitutes have bought the lie hook line and sinker that what is in Podesta's emails are off limits and only the "Russian" hack is relevant. Nothing surprising there BUT RINO's McTraitor and his girlfriend Linda Graham are still yelling the Russians are controlling Trump.

.

Hey RINO's and Dumby RATS, there is NO evidence Trump talked to the Russians. It's the only lie Hussein had that could deflect what was in the RAT's emails.

Talk about no shame in his game...McCain needs someone to bridle him and walk hom out to pasture each morning.

McCain is starting to panic....wonder what the cia/nsa/fbi has on him that he is so worried about getting out.

There are photos of him all over the web with al bagdadi. It is known that McCain supported al bagdadi as the right side. Everybody knows about his complicity with the Brit spook in peepee gate.

He must be fearing exposure for something much more personal. Very personal.

Now that we know the CIA can leave fingerprints of other countries behind when it leaves a surveillance/intrusion operation, there really isn’t anything they can say is the work of someone else.

And Comey from the FBI....a thoroughly discredited source.

EVERY single intervention by Comey has been in favor of the democrats. Look it up.

Can someone ask McCain why he’s calling for investigation of Trump’s association with Russia? Can someone in the media ask him “why?” This is quite odd.

Because he is the “Manchurian Candidate”? Didn’t J. McCain have a role in influencing the election in Republic of Georgia in 2003?

Interesting, what did Trump have to with anything since he was not in power? “He turned a blind eye”, they say.
He was campaigning, not running the government, they can say Obama was asleep if they wish.

When McCain says a lot more will drop, does he mean more felony leaks of fake news?

I’m not surprise about McCain’s ongoing treachery, but I do have to say that I’m surprised by The Washington Times using the same BS wording that makes it seem they’re behind what McCain is saying just like all the other FAKE NEWS!

Not so sure about actual beatings. I’d like to see all the shoes in the McCain/NVA/DNC arrangement.

"Both email dumps were deeply embarrassing for the Clinton campaign."

So it was the dumps and and not their misbehavin ways or lack of cyber security that was embarrassing? "Dump" is such an apropos word.

Speaking of interesting language, McCain refers to Trump's proported Russian breadcrumb trail as a "centipede?" Gnug with the inferences: Either put up or shut up!
