In his newly released book, Sen. John McCain admits he knew the anti-Trump dossier that he infamously passed to the FBI contained “unproven accusations,” “mostly raw, unverified intelligence” and allegations about which the senator “had no idea” if “any were true.”
Yet McCain maintains he had an “obligation” to pass the wild charges against Donald Trump to FBI Director James Comey and he would even do it again. “Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell,” McCain exclaimed.
In the book The Restless Wave, McCain provides an inside account of how he says he came across the dossier.
He writes that he was told about the claims in the document at a security conference in Canada in November 2016, where he was approached by Sir Andrew Wood, a former British ambassador to Moscow and friend of ex-British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier.
McCain wrote that Wood told him Steele “had been commissioned to investigate connections between the Trump campaign and Russian agents as well as potentially compromising information about the President-elect that Putin allegedly possessed.”
McCain, however, did not address the obvious question of whether he was told exactly who “commissioned” Steele to “investigate” the alleged Russian ties.
The dossier was commissioned by the controversial Fusion GPS opposition research firm, which was paid for its anti-Trump work by Trump’s primary political opponents, namely Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via the Perkins Coie law firm.
McCain goes on to describe Wood as telling him Steele’s work “was mostly raw, unverified intelligence, but that the author strongly believed merited a thorough examination by counterintelligence experts.”

what an embarrassing shame for Arizona
Correct destination, wrong traveller.
Songbird dying the death of a fool
I believe John McCain’s grave has a lot of pee in its future.
I once dated a little cutie who replied to that expression I used about someone else.
She said “Christians don’t tell people to go to Hell”.
There are no words to describe my absolute disgust with McCain.
so he really did help Obama get elected
Not a good death.
They should be embarrassed. They keep electing him. And Flake.
Obama’s people said now which fool can we get to deliver this Fake Dossier and then BINGO
“McCain is clearly a very bitter and angry man.”
Yeh, for sure. He stated recently that his pending death due to cancer was liberating. He’s liberated no doubt, to show his true self.....
yes, McShame and Flake too.
add Kasich and Jeb and Christie just a couple more and its obvious why the R party label has become so widely disrespected in America
alas
You have the best reply.
Why waste words.
He’ll be there first.
While McStain will in all probability be seeing Satan firsthand and very soon, I have no intention of following.
Some water boys like being water boys.
McShamey is a lying traitorous coward. No surprise he continues the behavior
Didn’t President Nixon grant McCain a pardon for whatever reason????
That is probably where you are going.
Simply put John McCain is now Fredo Corleone. He is nothing to me. When he dies he’ll barely be missed. In 10 years his name and life will be forgotten.
