John McCain Stays Silent On Involvement In Hoax Trump Dossier After Fusion GPS Revelations
Breitbart ^ | 1-11-2017 | Aaron Klein

TEL AVIV — For the past three days, Sen. John McCain’s office has not responded to Breitbart News phone and email inquiries seeking clarification of the Arizona politician’s role in delivering the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration. In a New York Times oped last week, the founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped get the dossier to McCain using an “emissary,” with the goal of McCain passing the information contained in the questionable document to U.S. intelligence agencies.

The disclosure raises questions about whether McCain knew that the information he delivered to the Obama administration was actually an opposition document reportedly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Breitbart News has been seeking clarification on this issue since Tuesday. However, McCain’s office did not reply yesterday to phone and email requests for comment on the matter.

Last December, it was revealed that it was McCain who notoriously passed the controversial dossier documents produced by the Washington opposition research firm Fusion GPS to then FBI Director James Comey, whose agency reportedly utilized the dossier as a basis for its probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Writing in a New York Times oped last Tuesday, Fusion GPS founders Glenn R. Simpson and Peter Fritch relate that they helped McCain share their anti-Trump dossier with the intelligence community via an “emissary.”

[The Parallax View]

Only Warren Beatty film I really, really like.

Earl Hindman (deputy) in the small town is the over-the-fence guy in “Home Improvement”. Or was. Gone now.

Surprising I know.

The scenes at the dam....and on the boat - awesome.

At the tower - Bill McKinney - had to look up the last name - you see him in a lot of Clint Eastwood movies. He was in “Every Which Way But Loose” for example - biker

McCain in cahoots with Hillary and the DNC/Comey/Mueller.

People post the pic of John McCain in Libya - you can see (now dead) Ambassador Chris Stevens (thanks, Hillary, for nothing) on McCain’s left side (right to us).

So the bottom line is McCain was a patsy used to give credence to the dossier. The FBI already had it because they worked with Fusion to create it. Way to go McCain.

Even more than that. McCain was a former Republican Presidential Nominee demanding that this be investigated! He was played like a violin to give the Dems cover. Sheesh.

“John McCain is dying. Leave him alone.”

He needs to know as he is dying that we consider him a traitor and a coward.

100% agree with what you said.

The disease he has works very fast. Just remember Bill Casey, Bob Novak and Ted Kennedy (the last two died within a week of each other), among so many other victims of this disease.

Prayers for McCain’s family. His earthly work is likely done, and he’s gone home to pass away with his family close by.

Not a whisper about McCain here in AZ on local news stations or in the AZ Rag.

He was not a “fall guy.”

He was a hero bringing down a dangerous man who was going to make it hard for his friend to get elected.

He was just there to further legitimize the lies.

John McCain stays silent...

Bring in some Viet Congs. They could get him to talk.

Okay class, how do you spell McCain?

A C C E S S O R Y

Is anyone else wondering if what’s wrong with John’s brain, is that it couldn’t hold all the guilt.

LOL! What an idiot comment. Hysterical. McCain’s role is so limited. The FBI already had the document since they partially wrote it.

A fitting end to McCains long, corrupt and inept career.
