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.

This was well known to all of us, starting with this New York Post article that was based on Carl Bernstein's reporting.
Furthermore, we all know, that McCain sent a courier to England to obtain the document. He then in turn sent it to the FBI, while not notifying Trump or the RNC.
I’m guessing he’s the one who paid for it too?
“When I fight back, it won’t be pretty.”
Did McCain reluctantly admit this, like it was squeezed out of him, or proudly strut the fact?
.... like a good citizen!
I think the GOP candidate that paid for it prior to Clinton/DNC was Jeb Bush.
Please clap ...
Yeah, he was just trying to help keep President Trump from being blackmailed by the Russians...
Yeah....That’s it....Riiiiiiight....
Next: Juan McCain’s health suddenly takes a turn for the worse and he resigns to escape the dossier scandal. He resigns, good riddance.
.....or, reporters ask Juan questions that infuriate him, he has an obscenity-filled rage seizure and drops dead. Good riddance.
You can’t have both ways, McCain. You colluded with a foreign government to interfere with a US election by presenting Federal law enforcement (the FBI) with fake-data.
You are stupid, John. You need to pay.
ESAD....soon!
Yeah, I was looking for a 2016 date, McTurd’s role in this has been known for some time.
Simple, Folks, John McCain is both “Dirty & A Traitor/Turncoat” to the USA!!! The voters in Arizona should recall him immediately!!! I smell Jeb Bush and John McCain dancing together to the song “Treason In Motion!!!
.... like a good citizen!
Like a traitor to his party and his Country, but what else is new....
I read last night that it was known which Republican initially paid for the dossier and that persons identity would become public soon.
This was simply McLame putting it out prior to some authority coming out with it.
“reporters ask Juan questions that infuriate him, he has an obscenity-filled rage seizure and drops dead. Good riddance.”
That would be a “perfect end” to this worthless bastard! They had better cremate him and put his remains high up on a wall somewhere, or people will be making his widow rich buying lots of her beer to despoil his final resting place.
I think the GOP candidate that paid for it prior to Clinton/DNC was Jeb Bush.
The ‘would be’ presidents could not tolerate the fact that Donald Trump would become the nominee for President.
As you said, Bush, McCain, etc. plus all the fed agencies.
OMG
.....or, reporters ask Juan questions that infuriate him, he has an obscenity-filled rage seizure and drops dead. Good riddance.
I'll take door 2 for $100 with glee...thank you Alex
Nope, Jeb paid for it.
JM eat shite and DIE!
“I read last night that it was known which Republican initially paid for the dossier and that persons identity would become public soon.”
I am not sure that that is completely true, It is true that one of Trump’s Republican Primary opponents was paying Fusion GPS for opposition research, but the specifics of what Fusion GPS was doing for that person has not yet been explained. That work may or may not have included the dossier.
