Sen. John McCain admitted Wednesday that he gave the FBI a dossier detailing claims of a Russian blackmail plot against President-elect Donald Trump. The Arizona lawmaker, a longtime Trump critic, made the public statement as questions piled up about his alleged role in spreading an unverified and error-riddled document that Trump has denounced as a complete and total fabrication. Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public, McCain said. Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI. That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue. Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein, who contributed to a story about the dossier reported by CNN on Tuesday, said McCain was given the document by a former British ambassador to Moscow. It came from a former British MI6 agent who was hired from a political opposition research firm in Washington who was doing work about Donald Trump for both republican and democratic candidates opposed to Trump, Bernstein told CNN.

Looks like Johhny boy did the same thing.
Seems to me like Moscow would not be pleased to learn this either way.
They're always accusing Diplomats of being spies. In this case, sounds like they were right.
McCain, your sorry ass needs to resign today. Don’t wait to die just leave now.
Thanks for the early Christmas present.
He’s Dan Rather with one foot in the grave.
Suuuuure Juan - you are up to your eyeballs in it and tried to pull a fast one - your legacy just headed even further into the basement you whacked out insane POS....
Claiming to be merely a mule with an unmarked parcel that turns out to be contraband doesn’t exonerate one from drug trafficking charges.
He (McStain) knew the dossier was fabricated for the sole purpose of bringing down Trump?
If so he will have gone from a war hero to a traitor. Hope he reads these posts so he can ponder what his legacy will be.
We should get our inner ears checked, because the spin over the next few days is going to be dizzying.
-Hillary didn't know anything about it, it was her subordinates
-Trump's research firm, Cambridge Analytics, tried to obtain damaging information from Assange (This is a threefer: Russian collusion, dirty tricks, everybody does it)
-Even if the Dem connection via GPS to the Russians are bad, what matters is the truth of the charges ("Much in the dossier is true." Note the hypocrisy, as for anything Assange related, they claim it doesn't matter if its true or not, it's fruit of the poisoned tree)
More to come. I've seen Schiff spinning, Perez spinning, and CNN pushing their stories, praising McCain, and trying to push the brave Jeff Flake to back an impeachment drive.
Spin, spin, spin. Will Dramamine help?
McCain is just a bitter old man. He lost the 2008 election to the most inept being to ever soil the halls of the White House
