TEL AVIV For the past three days, Sen. John McCains office has not responded to Breitbart News phone and email inquiries seeking clarification of the Arizona politicians 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, McCains 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.

there’s no question I’ve been an idiot before and there’s no question about the FBI having the dossier.
I’ve been chasin the McCain angle before there was a McCain angle.
I keep asking the question that I haven’t been able to find the answer for.
Why didn’t Comey tell McCain that Comey already had the dossier ?
If it was mentioned somewhere, I haven’t found it. Have you ?
McCain hasn’t mentioned why he got involved, that I could find. He mentioned how not why.
Seems strange to me.

Clearly McKook handled that document to give it legitimacy and a pedigree that was different from its actual origin. Anyone can write a lie, but not everyone who whispers that lie will be heard. A few traitors in the FBI may have known that the dossier had a checkered history, but the other FBI personnel only knew that the great John McKook had brought it in.
John McCain can go f** himself before he dies
I doubt right now, that McCain even knows who he is, possible he is on life support. and the man should have stepped down when he initially learned of the active brain cancer last summer. He was very selfish for not doing so. We could have an active Senator in Congress right now from the state of AZ.
John McCain will not be going to Washington D.C. until he is laid in State in the Capital..
More than likely his family and media are making all the plans.
Just my opinion, I lost my dad to brain cancer.. Strange today in the mail I got an official letter from John McCain asking for money and for a form to be returned from CITIZENS AGAINST GOVERNMENT WASTE. Sorta made me laugh..as I though of him wasting money keeping his position and physically and mentally unable to do his job..of course his full office staff are going right along as if nothing is wrong..smh ...
...”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.”...
If Senator McCain is the hero we once thought he was, he will drop his personal animus toward the President and come clean on his involvement in, what could be, one of the greatest lies ever generated by dishonest politicians, which is still hovering over the very survival of our constitutional form of government. I hope he will do that before his time comes to leave this world.
I would hope for McCain’s sake that somebody is controlling his access to the public and the public’s access to him. Given his medical condition he could say anything and it would most likely be emotional.
There is nothing left of McCaine except for sheer unrelenting malice. He wont live to see Spring yet tenaciously clings to his hate.
Let McCain be quiet in a cell with no light and windows.
I was wondering if he returned to DC after the first of the year. A quick search is inconclusive. I have May 2 in the am in the office deadpool.
Why didnt Comey tell McCain that Comey already had the dossier?
He knew - funny how he let hate of Trump become his “legacy”...
Sooo much for your worthless tattered rep there McLame. Now go die.
That’s because he is probably in a coma at this point.
FWIW, I think they just wanted a bipartisan witch hunt and everyone knew McCain did not like Trunp. McCain was duped. I'm sure he thought he was doing important work.
Comey? Why would Comey tell McCain he already had the dossier? Comey did not want McCain to know for obvious reasons.
thanks. We’re cool.
Nothing about McCain’s role in this makes sense. Of all the people to tell is McCain being told there is a dossier ? Why does McCain why go get it? and then give it to the FBI ? Why not just tell the FBI and let them go get it ?
Re: Comey that’s the only thing that does makes sense.
The FBI supposedly doesn’t comment on active investigations, so he wouldn’t tell McCain spit one way or the other.
The problem with that is, the MSM had the dossier in some form for a long time. FBI had the document in some form (there were supposedly 16 different drafts). MSM wouldn’t print it because the could corroborate. And there were no leaks ?
Yet McCain gets the document, supposedly from the source, and the source tells him...nothing ? about what has previously transpired ?
McCain is either a patsy or is complicit in trying to take down a president-elect of the U.S.
Maybe I am giving these people way too much credit for smarts & shennanigans.
that should be: “MSM wouldn’t print it because they couldn’t corroborate.”
My guess is McQueeg is in a coma and will not wake up. That is what happened in my husband’s last days dying of a GBM brain tumor.
