McCain has been deep into the "dossier" and soft coup vs Trump from the beginning.

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.

President Trump has handled McCain like a boss from the beginning, calling him out by insulting the one and only thing McCain hangs all of his credibility and glory on.

From then on, in seeking Trump’s destruction, McCain has revealed his own true nature and character as only McCain himself could do.

T’would be quite a lesson to see the house McCain has built during his “lifetime of public service” come crashing down upon him during his last days on Earth, with full disclosure replacing his maverick facade.

And... McCain is but one of many who’ve built their own sand castles by the sea and now fear the rising Trumpian tide.

Yes he did, by his own mealy-mouthed declaration.

The political class has both very bad and very good people and some in the middle that do bad and good. McCain is one of those in the middle. However McCain has done much more bad than good.

I do not wish him into his grave though he will be their soon. I wish he would just go away and not be heard from again.

I was listening to Meghan McCain when the story broke. It sounded so fishy and I am convinced her dad was in on it

interesting take on papdopolous, mojito.

hildabeast & gps have made several attempts to sting the trump campaign with characters disconnected back to her campaingn ops.

publicist rob goldstone turns up a couple times in attempted trickeration:

1. rob goldstone was publicist for comedian Kathy Griffin (decapitated trump fame)
2. rob goldstone also made the entree to donald jr. for the meeting with russian attorney natailia veselnitskaya

so, papadopolous could have been another bizarre character from the craig livingstone line of dirty trickster that hildabeast/MM used??

It wouldn't surprise me in the least - he has the Clinton smell on him.

Would it be difficult—or fruitless— to submit a FOIA request for the fbi files on McCain?

There are so may oddities in these events they definitely hint at the picture being incomplete.

- Why was McCain the contact person for retrieving the dossier?

- Why would McCain’s agent Kramer need to personally travel to London to obtain the document? What no secure email available? No encrypted DropBox account available?

- Why was the document allegedly delivered to the FBI when the FBI already had the document?

My guess is there was a briefcase full of cash that needed to be personal delivered to Steele for the fake dossier. Kramer was the bagman.

There was no need to pickup the dossier as obviously the FBI already had it. What the FBI needed was a mule to deliver the cash. It might look a bit fishy to have an FBI agent transporting a briefcase full of cash overseas, so they lined up McCain as the mule. They knew, A) McCain hates trump, and B) The FBI very likely has a good stash of blackmail documents hanging over McCain’s head as leverage from the S&L scandal.

So the story of traveling overseas to retrieve the dossier is a fiction. McCain’s office wasn’t bringing anything back from Steele, it was delivering a payoff to Steele.

This Skunks boss asked him to get him a copy. At least he’s almost assumed room temperature. He was Bad for America and the Press loved his anti-Conservative views.
