McCain associate subpoenaed in Trump dossier probe
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/27/2017 | Byron York

Posted on 12/27/2017 12:53:19 PM PST by mojito

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has issued a subpoena to David Kramer, a former State Department official who, in late November 2016, traveled to London to receive a briefing and a copy of the Trump dossier from its author, former British spy Christopher Steele. Kramer then returned to the U.S. to give the document to Sen. John McCain.

Kramer is a senior fellow at the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University.

McCain later took a copy of the dossier to the FBI's then-director, James Comey. But the FBI already had the document; Steele himself gave the dossier to the bureau in installments, reportedly beginning in early July 2016.

McCain, recovering in Arizona from treatments for cancer, has long refused to detail his actions regarding the dossier. For his part, Kramer was interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee on Dec. 19. The new subpoena stems from statements Kramer made in that interview.

In the session, Kramer told House investigators that he knew the identities of the Russian sources for the allegations in Steele's dossier. But when investigators pressed Kramer to reveal those names, he declined to do so.

Thanks for the link to that info.

THE EXPLANATION:
“’My left leg was doing extra work to compensate for the boot, so I’m giving it a break,’ the senator tweeted.”

My Opinion: Horse puckey.

Anyone else recall this disgusting ISIS loving treasonous soros stooge looking uncharacteristically sheepish when this story first broke last year, he looked like a beady eyed rat caught in a trap for a few days,

I immediately took notice and knew there was -way- more going on here than we could even guess at,

The sleaze knew he had been caught, but depended on the corrupt managed MSM to still cover for him,

Now he has other concerns to occupy his time and cover for him,

His ‘associate’ fall guy, not so much,

McCain is a peice of crap. I look forward to being able to piss on his grave. He is responsible for hundreds maybe a thousand of military personnel deaths and maybe much more. His support for Muslim brotherhood may have caused untold thousands of civilian deaths. Blood, much blood is on his hands personally. He was never a hero and isn’t a patriot of this great country.

If his staff reads this - let him know I hope he rots in hell. I don’t claim to know gods opinion but I hope it hurts! Roy from the inside out POS.

Yes, he was:

“Andrew Wood was the intelligence liaison Mr. Steele utilized in an effort to give his Russian Dossier increased credibility AFTER the FBI began using it. In essence the group around the dossier as constructed, saw how their trail was clearly political and they wanted to import/create an illusion of non-partisan political affiliation for the dossier.

Mr. Wood reaching out to Senator John McCain would give the sketchy Russian Dossier some increased credibility.

In November 2016 (post election) Andrew Wood traveled to the 2017 Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada, where he met up with Senator John McCain.

Traveling with Senator McCain was a former State Dept. and current McCain Institute staffer, David J. Kramer. [The McCain institute is essentially a political money laundering operation where foreign governments send money to Senator John McCain as a workaround due to U.S. laws prohibiting politicians accepting payment for services to foreign governments – similar to the Clinton Foundation. This is how McCain pays for his multimillion Arizona mansion and indulgent lifestyle.]

Andrew Wood, John McCain and David J Kramer attended the Canadian conference where Wood informed McCain about the Russian Dossier on Donald Trump.

According to reporting from Catherine Herridge: ‘British court records state McCain then ordered Kramer to get a personal briefing from Steele in Surrey, just outside of London, and then return to Washington, D.C., where Fusion GPS (Glenn Simpson) would provide McCain with hard copies.”

Also:

“Of note, listed in the official program for the 2016 November Canadian conference as a participant was Rinat Akhmetshin — the same Russian lobbyist who was at Trump Tower five months earlier in June for a highly scrutinized meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and others.

The senator’s office noted to Fox News that McCain said in January 2017 he had no contact with Akhmetshin. “Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public. 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.”

It is not known whether Akhmetshin had any contact with Kramer. Fusion GPS and Kramer did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News.”
