John McCain faces questions in Trump-Russia dossier case
Mcclatchy ^ | JULY 11, 2017

Sen. John McCain faces questions in a defamation lawsuit about leaks leading to publication of the now-infamous dossier that alleged Donald Trump’s campaign had connections to Russian operatives, McClatchy has learned.

The dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and his London firm, Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd., amounted to a collection of uncorroborated reports of collusion gathered as political research for sale to Trump’s opponents. It proved explosive when published by online news site BuzzFeed on Jan. 10.

Thank you for your many years of military service, Mr. McCain. Way past your time to just fade away.

Wonder if Halifax will come into this. McCain was at that security conference. So was Steele, IIRC. And Tim Kaine.

Very important point. McCain’s statement says he did not give the dossier to any other governmental agencies. That means he may have given it to the Clinton campaign and others. And of course he knew that the FBI director would share it with Obama and other agencies.

McCain take questions! Doubt it. They are still trying to question Holder from 2009. Not going to happen unless
Sessions starts working hard. So far nothing tangible. would love to eat crow myself but not likely.

I hope you don’t mind that I added this to Front Page News.

There will be a great deal of interest in this important story.

McCain has proven in the past he will sell out his partners to save his own skin, and he will most certainly do so again.

The biggest question is how he managed to be the only one of the Keating 5 that didn’t get incarcerated!

This “dossier” was composed with the intent of it being recognized as an obvious fraud. Even the genius Joe Biden knew it was nonsense. McCain and Comey knew it was a fraud but it was the only straw they could grasp.

Wow

He “receiving the dossier from McCain on Jan. 6”?

I thought he received the dossier from John McCain before the election?
