McCain predicts ‘there’s a lot more shoes to drop’ on Trump-Russia connection

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.

That’s the McCain we’ve come to despise. A long time ago.

What’s really behind this non-stop mania about Russia and Trump in some secret alliance?

It is the fear of globalists that they will be exposed. Russia never bought into the globalist paradigm. The globalists, who are mostly far left, cannot forgive this because they expect Russia to act like the Soviet Union. However, globalism has one subtle difference from communism Russian style, namely, that it has no fixed point in Moscow around which everything else revolves. Instead, the fixed point loosely speaking is the United Nations, and/or the cartel of global bankers and the business interests they represent.

Globalism is basically the idea that the world community can pull together into one blended interactive matrix, and anything that stands in the way (such as radical Islam) must be cleansed but without conflict, so the magic solution there is to accept Islam as equal to other religions (something it clearly is not at this stage).

Russia may have its flaws but it knows three things that globalists label as heresy. They know that Islam is dangerous. They know that homosexuality can erode a society from within (because that almost killed off the Russian revolution) and afterwards was used as a weapon against the west. And they know that climate change is either a fraud or the best thing that could ever happen to Russia, so either way, why oppose it?

And in Syria, they know that of all the options that ever existed, the one that we had before the trouble began was better than all the others. And the globalists want a much different Middle East than either Russia or non-neo-con American conservatives (a dying breed), namely, a carefully controlled Middle East with no wide open social “freedom” which can clearly turn almost instantly to anarchy.

Globalists have the major fault of being magical thinkers. Kindness can be taught in school. The weather can be changed by recycling and riding bicycles. The restless populations of the Middle East can move spontaneously to democracy. All sexual orientations are equal the minute after somebody defines them into existence.

None of that is even remotely true. Russia knows this, and Trump is at least not a very enthusiastic proponent (although his daughters may be on some parts of the agenda). This is why Russia and Trump must be burned at the stake, so that all the other heretics (Le Pen, Farage, Wilders, if there happens to be a sane German left, etc) will have no “hand.” Then the globalists can run everything the way they want (the fact that it must naturally implode as seen in 2008 notwithstanding) — and McCain is just one of their lapdogs. He sinned against Bishop Soros by naming Sarah Palin as his running mate. Now he must do pennance every day until he dies.

” . . don’t think Ryan stands a chance, ever.”

I hope your right,

And we certainly wont forget who and what he is, but its not (informed) true conservatives hes counting on, hes triangulating ala Clinton, hes also very 2007 and not 2017 and doesn’t seem to know it,

Maybe in another decade hes hoping the eyes that have opened will be closed again,

Anyone still believe this a$$hole did not turn on his fellow POWs and country in Vietnam like he does on a daily basis to his own party and country today?

When all’s said and done, I’ll bet McCain’s been the person behind the worst attacks on Trump... We’ll know soon.
