Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain in 2012 turned over nearly $9 million in unspent funds from his failed 2008 presidential campaign to a new foundation bearing his name, the McCain Institute for International Leadership.
The institute is intended to serve as a “legacy” for McCain and “is dedicated to advancing human rights, dignity, democracy and freedom.” It is a tax-exempt non-profit foundation with assets valued at $8.1 million and associated with Arizona State University.
[snip]“This is a very real conflict of interest,” Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist at Public Citizen, told TheDCNF. “This is the similar type of pattern we received with the Clinton Foundation in which foreign governments and foreign interests were throwing a lot of money in the hopes of trying to buy influence.”
[snip]McCain and Soros reportedly became friends after the senator was exposed as a member of the “Keating Five” during the savings and loan (S&L) industry scandal during former President George H.W. Bush’s administration. As the S&L bank chairman, Charles Keating paid $1.3 million to bribe five members of Congress to interfere with government regulators on behalf of the savings bank.
The experience so scarred McCain that he became a vigorous advocate of campaign finance reform and in the process reportedly became friends with Soros.

These idiots and their slush funds.
What can be done about this? Calling, tweeting? McCain exposes himself by his actions and his financiers are part of the reason I suppose.
How about the McCain Institute for Conflict of Interest? It’s a shame that the President can’t just fire him. He needs a good taste of justice just like Obama & others.
About time he was institutionalized.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Gardner, Toomey, Capito, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse are all Cheap Labor Express Republicans.
Remove them from office before they give away our country.
McCain has been Soros’s b!+ch for a long time. He ought to be shot for treason for marching to the open borders king’s orders, in direct conflict with the Constitution he swore to defend. It is hard to get lower than John McCain.
John needs to realize that we once had real semen on a real dress, but he was convinced that there was a wet bed somewhere in Russia. No urine, no prostitutes, a dry bed, sorry John, the story doesn't wash. Please retire.

McCain using his real world experience as a big gummit Pol who starts with $9mm and spends it down to $8.1
McCain is a venomous asshole! (If he were a female, I could say “venomous harridan!” But he is male, so venomous asshole it is!)
And, a traitor to boot!
If only McCain had “failed to eject” over North Vietnam, imaging how much better off America would be.

Crooked then and crooked now.
Donald Trump should point this out.
I've long suspected McQueeq has colluded with the left in his re-election bids, gathering the necessary illegal votes to keep him above any challenge in AZ. This erases the 'suspect' in my mind and I would urge our President to move forward at blinding speed to investigate such shenanigans. When NOT running for Pres. against one of their own, McQueeg is the go to 'R' quisling for the left.
