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.

He just can't stop it.
I don't believe that for a minute. John McCain never intended to win the presidency.
It's not jealousy, it's hatred for President Trump and love of the Deep State.
WEll, yeah, there is that. He's very talkative for one who can only speak when it profits his leftist views or the democrats or ANYBODY-BUT-TRUMP.....
Actually I suspect Cindi is the voice behind the mouth. She wants his seat...if he's so ill he can't come to Washington, yet he can finish his book, keep up to date on all the latest gossip and keep in the fight...I think he's just letting Cindy do the talking. No surprise, maybe the songbird is all sung out.
hoping very much we won’t go to Hell, because that’s where McShame will soon be
don’t want to be anywhere near that back-stabbing jerkoff!
No, Juan. YOU can GTH!
After you Juan, you smarmy little seditionist prick!
What a smarmy little .itch.
I have always thought the voice was Cindy or Meaghan.
My best friend’s father died of brain cancer within three months of the diagnosis.
Behaviors are like night and day! McCain’s vs all others with this disease.
BINGO
I don’t think he’s a double agent, I just think he’s a chump. He was a handy sap to be the public “source” who gave the dossier to the FBI so it wouldn’t easily be traced back to the Dems and Hillary.
They should have, after all, they paid for it.
Agree...!
I, too, am beginning to wonder if he REALLY has cancer.
At the very least i think the liberal media is embellishing the severity of his case, the better to elevate and maintain his status as UN-criticizeable Trump Opponent.
“Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell,”
Sorry juannie, the only one going to hell is you.
Yup. Just my thought too.
America got it right in November 2008. As bad as Obama was, McCain would have been even worse.
