McCain: Leak of Trump dossier ‘totally wrong’
The Hill ^ | January 17, 2017 | By Mark Hensch

Posted on 01/18/2017 2:30:46 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says the leak of an unverified dossier claiming Russia has compromising information about Donald Trump is unfair to the president-elect.

“The president-elect has a point,” McCain said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."

"The fact that this un-validated document, to say the least, was leaked — it’s somebody’s responsibility," said McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“The very fact that it was leaked, one, is a commentary on this town," he said. "Second, [it is] totally wrong to have that out.”

“[It is] an un-validated document that is damning out there among the American public without any validation whatsoever. And so it’s harmful to the president of the United States.”

McCain also criticized Trump and outgoing CIA Director John Brennan for arguing about the controversial document’s public dissemination. . .

He has no credibility in this if he was the one to pass on the dossier to the press in the first place.

[It is] an un-validated document

Unvalidated? What does that mean? This document reflects the sexual fantasies of the democrat-pornographers temper throwers who are now out of power and you suggest that maybe it should or could be validated. Validate what? Validate the feelings of the slanderers who transmitted this "Dear Penthouse" rubbish. Or validate the transparently fictitious "facts" by sending the CIA to Moscow to search Obama's hotel room for cameras and microphones? "Well, it could be true."

WTF? Juan is really irredeemable.

Censure the son of a b!tch.

Arizona Republicans, you should be embarrassed for foisting this dog turd on the rest of us again and again. Shame on you!

I think this little episode may help President Trump in the long run. It should keep the “maverick” in line and voting with republicans throughout the nomination process, including for the Supreme Court.

It is also possible that “Songbird” by having a lot of sway with “lousy” Graham would provide two crucial votes with the rest of the republicans.

Yes, he was the provider of these fake documents that he, himself, could have leaked.

He'll have to carry his hat in his hand, to the WH, for the next 4 years. He won't be alone. :)

Just say’n!

You would think that grown adults who have been in politics as long as some of these idiots would know better.

I live in Ohio and heard yesterday that the Ohio RNC is broke ... likely can't make payroll! Ha! Ha!

They can go begging, too. Did they think that making themselves irrelevant was the ONLY consequence of opposing the Presidential frontrunner?

MORONS!

The Democrats were defeated and so were the ‘Republicans’, in the last election...and the ‘Republicans’ got their backs broken in the process. Good!

It can't be used to blackmail if there's no evidence within.

Let's walk this through. If I said I had a report that showed you have been torturing children in your basement for 30 years, and the children are in your basement, even today, would I have any authority over you?

I didn't think so.

On top of that, McLame was using the lies in this “report” to back his ongoing subversion of Trump.

McCain believes this cr@p.

Let me get this straight. John McCain became a Vietnam war POW and that made him a hero and that qualified him to be a nominee for president and a U.S. senator for life. John Lewis gets beaten by democrats in a civil rights march and that made him a hero and qualified him to be a U.S. representative for life. John Kerry betrayed those that fought in Vietnam and that qualified him to be a U.S. senator, a nominee for president and the secretary of state. Hillary Clinton is married to a former president and that qualified her to be a U.S senator and secretary of state and a nominee for president. Barack Hussein Obama was a community organizer and that qualified him to be a U.S. senator and the president. Helps explain the current state of affairs.

“....had he not done this and it had gotten into the wrong hands then it becomes blackmail bait. If anything he did what he is required to do and in effect saved him.”

WHOA! What a twist on the truth! McCain makes extraordinary effort to secure then releases false accusations from well-known extremely dubious sources to SAVE TRUMP?

Yeah, right. Got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, real cheap, too!
