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.

There is nothing left to say about McCain. He is a horrible human with no loyalties to anyone except himself and the msm.

John McCain is the leaker Trump is looking for. McCain's just trying to distract us with this BS.

Hey Arizona you suck for not primarying the old turncoat when the opportunities were ripe. McLame is the poster geezer for Term Limits. That must be one heckuva peachy senior country club in DC where the senators goal is to exit in the stiff horizontal position.

Oh, and:

Let's pretend that any of this is even true.

WTF was Trump supposed to do about it? Borrow Obama's nuclear football and launch??!??

Yep. Songbird McCain assured us:

“We have nothing to fear with Barack Obama in the White House”

President Trump, please remember that Ryan is cut from the same cloth as John McCain. And you seem absolutely giddy that Ryan wants to work with you in crafting that “beautiful” healthcare plan. Do you really need me (us) telling you not to trust Ryan? I hope not!

I always wondered if McCain was brainwashed by the Commies in Nam. Or maybe the Vietnamese have compromising pictures of McCain in his Hanoi apartment with his two Vietnamese prostitutes.

Perhaps biding his time. Not all attacks will be from the usual team. There are some weak soldiers too, such as Collins and Murkowski.

His “conversations” were a short Tweet initiated by Gucifer 2.0 ( a single person, not a hacking group )long after the DNC leaks. McCain is trying to imply that Stone talked to Gucifer before the leaks ( thus was responsible for the leaks - which weren’t even done by Gucifer ). Politico also talked to Gucifer after the leaks.Why isn’t McCain calling for them to appear before Congress ?


GREAT question!! But....we know the answer :(

The same idiot who said the Navy Seal died for a failed mission just after his wife had been told her husband has died.

The man is such a frigging idiot , who cannot get his personal losses over Syria now out of the way.

Mcmaime has got enemy and friend confusion bad. Time he hung it up is long past due. It would appear he’s been playing for the other team all along.
