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.”

Exactly my thought reading this....what has he done we don’t know about as well. The creep has always been in Hillarys court and opposing Trump.
An A hole when he was healthy. An A hole when he’s sick. Once an A hole, always an A hole with this guy.
That’s pretty much it about the man....it’s always been about himself and his friends and it really didn’t matter what the American issues were...he played according to the book of mc”cain” within his sphere of gov.’friends’......
I really fought not to literally ‘hate’ Obama...but he did what he said he would do...... Johnny Boy however called himself one of us...he made it easy to hate him and then some.
Why is John McCain allowed to be such an angry belligerent jerk but if anyone says they don’t like him it’s a media outrage-fest?
It is unwise to invoke Hell or the devil when you are on your last legs. Unless of course you are counting on that relationship to keep whatever it was you bargained for.
Sounds like Charlotte Simmons.
Osama bin Laden. Lenin. Stalin. Castro. Chavez. Mao. McCain.
What’s the difference?
All would destroy the U.S.A. if they had their way.
All of those above are dead, except for one. Let’s find a cure for cancer before it’s too late, because, McCain needs to be tried for major crimes and misdemeanors against the country, before he dies.
With regard to your reckless, vindictive action, senator, you seem to be the only one in danger of a more southerly destination.
I’ve seen better.
Not a Songbird, just a plain TURKEY!
They probably use a different method- like throwing them over the fantail.
Or cooperation with the enemy?
He will be until the day he dies.
Just die already, you creep, and get it over with.
I may go to hell, but John, you’ll be there to greet everyone that does. Make no mistake about that.
Isn’t there a basic commandment from God about hearing false witness against your neighbor, John? Seems to me that it’s pretty ironic to be telling us to go to Hell, when he has done almost everything in his power to pave his own path there.
John is so egotistical that I expect him to have an electronic headstone.

Push 11-2000 Hear about John being an ass just about every week he’s been in Washington, D. C.
Mccain needs to start thinking about getting right with God. He’s so full of hate just like the left and you don’t want to meet your maker with such hate in your heart.
A mere shell of what used to be a human being.
Clearly McCain has both been suffering the effects of a brain tumor for decades and wrote his book while severely ill.
That, or he’s always been a MF-er.
I lean to the latter...
