John McCain Stays Silent On Involvement In Hoax Trump Dossier After Fusion GPS Revelations
Breitbart ^ | 1-11-2017 | Aaron Klein

TEL AVIV — For the past three days, Sen. John McCain’s office has not responded to Breitbart News phone and email inquiries seeking clarification of the Arizona politician’s role in delivering the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration. In a New York Times oped last week, the founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped get the dossier to McCain using an “emissary,” with the goal of McCain passing the information contained in the questionable document to U.S. intelligence agencies.

The disclosure raises questions about whether McCain knew that the information he delivered to the Obama administration was actually an opposition document reportedly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Breitbart News has been seeking clarification on this issue since Tuesday. However, McCain’s office did not reply yesterday to phone and email requests for comment on the matter.

Last December, it was revealed that it was McCain who notoriously passed the controversial dossier documents produced by the Washington opposition research firm Fusion GPS to then FBI Director James Comey, whose agency reportedly utilized the dossier as a basis for its probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Writing in a New York Times oped last Tuesday, Fusion GPS founders Glenn R. Simpson and Peter Fritch relate that they helped McCain share their anti-Trump dossier with the intelligence community via an “emissary.”

It is an absolute miracle that Trump was elected.

The DOJ and FBI Worked With Fusion GPS On “Operation Trump”….

I wonder what’s going through his brain right now. Besides, you know, cancer.

I believe that’s because John McCain is

Guilty
Guilty
Guilty.

But that’s just me.

It was a miracle that he jumped into this fray at all.

They had US set up for a Yeb! vs Hillary rigged election like the last two.

So the bottom line is McCain was a patsy used to give credence to the dossier. The FBI already had it because they worked with Fusion to create it. Way to go McCain.

He thinks it was patriotic and heroic to commit treason and try and stop our president from taking office. Yes, he’s that arrogant.

McCain you sob! It’s way past time for you to go to your just reward in the hereafter. Extreme sunblock recommended.

Has he been back to DC? If not, it’s incredible he refuses to retire and let someone take his place.

I know it sounds goofy, but it now keeps going thru my head that people knew McCain was at death’s door.
This was a plot to take down the president of the United States with McCain as the fall guy.
Dead fall guys can’t bring down the house.
I think I am going to find the movie The Parallax View and watch it.

He is desperately clinging to what little power he has left. He won’t relinquish it as long as he is still breathing.

Incredibly selfish, Republicans now have just a 1-seat majority and need every vote they can get.

Everything to spite Trump, right to end, it seems.
