President Trump is wondering who paid for the controversial dossier that made salacious but unverified claims about his ties to Russia a day after two executives from a Washington research firm that helped produce the document refused to answer questions in a private meeting with the House Intelligence Committee

How did he know it even existed. Have to go back a little further in all this to find out why McCain was involved in particular.
Yep...and I believe that the President knows full well that he did. All or in part, but that gutless little snake was in on it.
Yup.
Trump is asking the question precisely because he knows the answer and he knows the answer helps him nail his opponents to the wall.
Call Sen McCain to the oversight committee, swear him in, and ask about how he got the Steele Dossier, how he knew to send an aide to ‘go pick it up’, where it was picked up, from whom was it picked up, who contacted him to pick it up, was any money exchanged...?
McCain, Comey, and a host of others are running for their lives even though it looks like they are running at Trump they are really in panic and desperate for what is going to come out about them.
I agree. I love this guy and love having a real man in the WH. His level of testosterone has been missing since 1988. Actually January 1989.
“Call Sen McCain to the oversight committee, swear him in, and ask about how he got the Steele Dossier.”
There is about as much chance of that as a fart in whirlwind!
“It is known he sent one of his aides to go pick it up and was subsequently delivered to Comey. What we don’t know officially is who commissioned it. Although it was originated by somebody on the GOPe side and then picked up by the Hitlery camp.”
From the article:
“Steele began working on the opposition-research document in June 2016 for Fusion GPS on behalf of a Democratic client.”
When (or if) Trump gets the documentation proving who was involved, he should post all of it on his Twitter for all to see..
There is about as much chance of that as a fart in whirlwind!
I have a rich fantasy life....
He was after the fact
John McCain is cheap! He has experience as a song-bird, just ask Jane Fonda!
But it was started before that in the effort to keep Trump from getting the nomination. The problem was the opposition fell apart to quickly after Florida for them to get it presentable to make a difference.

This may be true. I am not disagreeing with you.
So many lies about this have been spread by the media. And when the people behind it are put under oath and asked directly who paid for it, they invoke the 5th amendment and refuse to answer.
Well, looking at whom the opposition was during the primary, I cannot see McCain working with Cruz. Romney perhaps. Rubio also a maybe. Bush was dead in the water by this time in the process. I doubt the mailman’s son or Paul were involved either. So, we have by my reckoning three: Romney, Rubio, and McCain on his own. My bet is on door number 1.
POTUS has the resources sufficient to ensure he knows who paid.
He just want us to know who paid.
“I thought it was known John McCain commissioned the Dossier”
McCain delivered it to Comey.
But it was Clinton (and the DNC/Foundation) in collaboration with the BUSH FAMILY that paid for it and instructed it’s contents.
Does this mean that their invoking of the fifth Amendment is not on camera (no video)? If so, Republicans are either really STUPID or they are complicit.
I remember the hearings on illegal Chinese campaign contributions during the Clinton administration. Dozens of witnesses were issued subpeonas and then allowed to have their lawyers send a letter saying that they would invoke their Fifth Amendment rights. Just imaging the campaign ads that could have been run showing witness after witness being sworn in, asked important questions, and then invoking the Fifth.
“But it was started before that in the effort to keep Trump from getting the nomination”
BUSH FAMILY.
Thus, Shrub raises his head today.
