Sen. John McCain dives deep into conspiracy theories regarding the salacious so-called Steele dossier in his new book, "The Restless Wave," defending his decision to turn over the documents to former FBI Director James Comey.
"Conspiracy theories have grown around what I did and why," McCain wrote, saying those included that he's a "double agent for Russia" and that he "acted out of jealousy" that Donald Trump won a presidential election when he didn't.
But the Arizona Republican said he felt he had an obligation "to bring to the attention of appropriate officials unproven accusations I could not assess myself" that could make Trump vulnerable to a "hostile foreign power" if any of them were true.
"Anyone who doesn't like it can go to hell," McCain said, adding that he would "do it again."
The infamous Trump-Russia dossier alleged the Kremlin had been "cultivating, supporting, and assisting" Trump for years under the direct orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Though certain parts of the 35-page document, compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, have been verified, most of the allegations it contained were raw, uncorroborated intelligence.
That's why McCain says he handed it over to the FBI to investigate: to protect Trump from "groundless conspiracy theories," or to keep the Kremlin from using them to their advantage if the allegations were true.

FukMcVain and his horrible staff.
The kooky conspiracy nutjob theory is that Hitlery Rotten Clinton lost because of $100,00 in facebook ads and an alleged peepee videotape.
PeePee McCain. He’d better like that monicker it is his final legacy. Leaky PeePee.
Bugs McCain never did anything right in his life.
Who was he talking to. And who did he talk to at the FBI to make an appointment for delivery?
John boy, anyone who is the champion of lies might just have a date with you know who!!!
Sad that instead of spending his last days with his family he has chosen instead to act like a nasty old fool. I know he always wanted the love of the NY Times but he will never be their favorite. He instead will be remembered as a blabbering idiot.
Yeah right. That was your true concern, LIAR!!!
[[But the Arizona Republican said he felt he had an obligation “to bring to the attention of appropriate officials unproven accusations I could not assess myself”]]
funny0- he was silent for 8 years when obama was busy breaking lawsw
All these boneheads keep saying “if you don’t it, go to hell” or some variation. Talk about alienation.
My theory is that he's a thin-skinned @sshole.
Songbird McCain has been a traitor to this country and those, who served in the military during his treason and for decades after.
McQueeg’s next stop........
That’s why he also has now come out to say that it turns out none of it was true, after all.
Oh.... he didn’t?
His last chance to redeem himself with any honor would be to back down on this deal and apologize to POTUS, IMHO.
Someone needs to change McCain’s diaper more often. His worsened mental state is likely UTI-related.
If McJuan is so prolific with his public thoughts, why isn’t he in DC doing his job?
“Hes not just got cancer. Also Irish Alzheimers!”
Irish Alzheimer’s: you forget everything except the grudges.
I can’t wait for his last official response to the masses. Something tells me it might be a doozy. It will probably start off with “my friends” and then some rant filled tirade aimed at anyone and anything he’s ever been in contact with that he didn’t squeeze in to the pages of this book he’s trying to hock..
Sounds to me like he’s been reading the comments here and on Drudge and they’ve really got to him.
Heh, heh, heh, heh!
IOW GOSSIP?
I read this that McCain knows that neither Cindy or Boobs are going to get appointed to his Senate Seat.
His last hope is McSally
