Anyone following the investigation of the Clinton campaign's attempt to frame Trump probably already knows that while the primary vector for the Clinton-Steele dossier, a document alleging Russian control over Trump created by the Clinton campaign and used as the basis for the FBI investigation, was Fusion GPS and its media and Dem allies, a secondary vector was McCain.
Now it turns out that McCain had a different version of the Clinton-Steele dossier. Fusion GPS has discussed doing more work on the dossier afterward and it's likely that the version McCain had was a newer copy. It would explain why it needed to be passed along through him, especially as the dossier morphed from a political weapon to the baseless basis for a government investigation.
Now, memos the FBI is turning over to Congress show the bureau possessed at least three versions of the dossier and its mostly unverified allegations of collusion.
Each arrived from a different messenger: McCain, Mother Jones reporter David Corn, Fusion GPS founder (and Steele boss) Glenn Simpson.
That revelation is in an email that disgraced FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok wrote to FBI executives around the time BuzzFeed published a version of the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017.
“Our internal system is blocking the site,” Strzok wrote of the document posted on BuzzFeed. “I have the PDF via iPhone but it’s 25.6MB. Comparing now. The set is only identical to what McCain had. (it has differences from what was given to us by Corn and Simpson.)”

Ah, yes. McCain got two scoops of slander.
(Yes, I know, libel would be a more accurate description, but it doesn’t sound as good!)
Alliteration always sounds better.
The first one had bill Clinton’s name. The second one they did a cut and replace with DJT. The third version they changed some incongruent facts to fit the timeline.
Is that true, or are you just joking around?
There is no mystery McCain hates Trump.
And is a nasty, petty POS.
Good riddance.
It’s my analysis. Fits in with accuse those of what you are guilty of.
All these people conspired to destroy Trump and screamed when he won and they faced exposure. Obviously idiot McCain was used to make it look like this came from a Republican.
Gee, if they had a fourth version, leftist could tie them together and call them “the gospel”.
Did anyone on the House intelligence committee follow up on this weasel word answer? It doesn’t take much intelligence to see what the next question should be.
Obviously idiot McCain was used to make it look like this came from a Republican.
Every time I would here, on NPR, during a report slamming something the republican party/president was doing, the words, “Even some republicans...”, I always wondered, “McCain and who else?” I batted a thousand. And usually it was McCain and Graham.
It should be verified that McCain is actually alive.
imo, McCain his Russian specialist from the McCain foundation spice it up a little before it went to the fibbers.
It should be verified that McCain is actually alive.
It was an interesting comment, in that anything that differs between the three versions, would cause faith in any of them to be suspect.
So if Clinton’s name were in one, the idea those could be used as cause for a subpoena would be ludicrous.
It would be an investigation ending moment > IMO.
Indeed. By the way, for those who don't know or might have forgotten, David Corn was central to starting the whole Valerie Plame thing during the GWB administration. He is one sleazy hardcore Leftist piece of work masquerading as a reporter, and is still up to his old tricks without ever being held accountable or even really exposed for what he actually is.
According to Strzok email, buzzfeed got same as McCain gave F-I, the one Steele + Simpson & David Corn gave was different; that was probably the newer one ...
McCain belongs in prison for treason, war crimes, and other domestic and international crimes.
Yep. Should have never been an investigation.
