Senator John McCain Pushed Trump Dossier to the Intel Community
Big Government ^ | 11 Jan 2017 | John Hayward

Posted on 01/11/2017 11:50:54 AM PST by drewh

The Daily Mail on Wednesday reported that Senator John McCain (R-AZ) pushed the dossier full of unverified claims about Donald Trump to the FBI:

Sworn Donald Trump enemy John McCain admitted Wednesday that he passed the dossier of claims of a Russian blackmail plot against the president-elect.

The Arizona senator issued a public statement amid mounting questions of his exact role in the affair – and how a document riddled with errors and unverifiable claims came to be published.

‘Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public,’ he said.

‘Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI.

‘That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue.’

But the Daily Mail – which, it should be noted, seems to like McCain about as much as McCain likes Trump – argues that the “2008 Republican loser” might have been “far more intimately involved than that.”

Watergate legend Carl Bernstein is quoted telling CNN that McCain got the dossier from the former British ambassador to Moscow, who in turn got it from that mysterious “former British MI6 agent who was hired from a political opposition research firm in Washington” that we’ve been hearing so much about lately.

Straight out of a Clancy novel.

If you know you've got a spy or a turncoat on your hands, feed him fake, very specific information and see what he does with it.

If makes use of it, he gets a visit from Mr. Clark in due time.

I’d say McCain’s pretty much maxxed out his POW-War Hero “Above Criticism Card” and, with this, is now venturing nigh unto traitor territory.

McCain is senile and should be forced to resign

You have a point, McCain, Graham and Rubio were all involved in the illegal takedown of Quaddify and the arming of jihadists in Libya and Syria.

That is treason in my book.

I think McCain has disgraced himself and The Senate. I think he should be publicly censured and removed from his chairmanship of the Senate Armed Services committee. I have never witnessed a United States Senator knowingly push a hoax story to damage an incoming president. If this had been done to obama it would have been a “hate crime”. McCain is despicable. He did it to himself.

McCain should be censored by the Senate.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, impeach him. If he resigns, he gets his Senate pension.

Burn the phone lines to Ryan’s office. IMPEACH MCCAIN!!!

Can Trump sue him for this?

Not if he wants his GOP majority in the Senate. He'll have to be more subtle.

He’s still butt hurt when candidate Trump didn’t acknowledge him as a hero.

McCain is weak.
He is a party of a ‘disinformation’ campaign against the President Elect. There should be consequences.

I’d rather see him use the Senate to bring McMee up on ethics charges and force a censure of him.

Move his chair to the back of the Chamber, not allow him any time to propose bills or give speeches and move his office to the janitors closet.

Let him stew in his own makings for the remainder of his term of office.

I am dying to know who this political and corporate research outfit is. They must be very sleazy, and very bad at their jobs.

Both of these losers received large campaign contributions from the Clinton foundation (this was mentioned on FR a couple of months ago)
