Valerie Jarrett: "Lindsey Graham is the one that encouraged McCain to turn over the dossier to the FBI"
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 28 | Maria Bartiromo

Posted on 07/29/2020 6:21:25 PM PDT by RandFan

Former senior adviser to President Barack Obama Valerie Jarrett talks to FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo about the Trump/Russia investigation.

"I have a high degree of confidence in our intelligence community, investigators comported themselves responsibly," Jarrett said. "Lindsey Graham is the one that encouraged Sen. McCain to turn over the dossier in the first place to the FBI."

"I do know that it’s nearly four years ago and I don’t understand why our focus isn’t on what’s happening right now and today. That’s the investigation I’d like to see," she said.

Bartiromo asked about the origins of the Steele dossier: "What’s happening right now is we are learning the details of what took place and we are getting official confirmation that the FBI knew that the dossier was garbage and made up in a bar because the sub-source of the dossier told FBI officials in early January."

"I was not involved in any of those conversations," Jarrett replied. "But the question I really want to put to you is, what are we doing today?"

"If people want to have an investigation about what happened four years ago, they should do that. But aren’t you concerned about what’s going on right now? Aren’t you worried about the integrity of our upcoming elections? Aren’t you worried about how we’re going to have a safe and fair election?"

I hate to say it, but it’s very believable.

No one is going to flame you for that position!

McCain/Graham were very close. Has Lindsey ever talked about the origins of the dossier?

That would explain why Flimsy Graham is all talk and no action on the investigation front.

As long as the GOP holds the Senate, I hope Linda loses as well.

His moment of glory was his tirade at the Kavanaugh hearing.

Otherwise, he’s been an utter failure as Judiciary Committee Chairman. Not one subpoena!

I guess he just doesn’t want to upset any of his uni-party buddies.

Graham will deny it, between Linseed and McCain it was “she said, he said”. And “she said” comes from a live person so it wins by default.

Yah, and she knows this how?

The McCain connection was only one of three ways the dossier made its way to the IC.

So, Lindsey Graham was instrumental in the effort to legitimize the fake document that lead to the investigation of president Trump.

I wonder if he’ll be held accountable for his role in the attempted coup.

Obviously Jarrett could be trying to cause Graham to lose. She’d be playing anyone who refused to vote for him like a fiddle in that case.

“Why should we believe Valerie Jarrett?”

Well I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true. Trump eviscerated Linda in the primaries, and Linda and McCain were the best of buddies and they both hated Trump at the time.

So it could well be true...

At the same time I wouldn’t put it past Jarrett to try to sow discord in the republican camp.

I guess he just does not want to upset the Deep State actors holding the blackmail files on him.

Lindsey Graham Told John McCain to Turn Over Steele Dossier

25 Mar 2019

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham told President Trump that John McCain “acted appropriately” in regards to the now-infamous Steele dossier and “deserves better” than Trump’s criticism of him.

Speaking to reporters regarding his conversation with the POTUS over the weekend, Graham said, “Trump believes that it was the McCain people that spread this. He’s right. There were some McCain people that took a piece of garbage and tried to go after Trump after the election. But I told the president it was not John McCain.”

Trump told Fox Business that McCain turned the document over for “very evil purposes.”

“If you realize, about three days ago, it came out that his main person gave to the FBI the fake news dossier,” Trump said on Friday. “It was a fake, it was a fraud, it was paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. They gave it to John McCain who gave it to the FBI for very evil purposes. That’s not good.”

According to Graham, this is not the case. When the late Arizona senator showed Graham the document, he recalled telling McCain to “turn it over to somebody whose job it is to find these things out.” He reiterated: “John McCain did not give it to anybody in the press. He turned it over to the FBI, and that’s exactly what he should have done. That’s what you should do.”
