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.

Have pity on Arizona's people. It was, for them, out of control.

The Dem who ran against him was a fruitcake as well.

This addle-brained real-life Manchurian Candidate and his boy-toy Graham are disgraces to their party, their states, the Senate, and their country.

We have an Arizona State GOP meeting at the end of the month. I’m sure it will be discussed.

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard the left denounce John McCain. Who knows, maybe Babs was singing about him.

“WHAT ARE THEY HIDING or AFRAID OF????”

Their names appearing on the Clinton Foundation donor rolls. To McCain, this is the second coming of the Keating 5.
