Important point raised in the article:

He’s trying to have it both ways because what he wants more than anything is a new Cold War with Russia. He is furious with Trump because Trump has said over and over again that he wants to have improved relations with Russia.

McCain just today released his own new defense budget: five years – five trillion dollar defense budget; a lot of that is aimed at Russia. It is great for the American military-industrial complex, which is what keeps John McCain in office. So that is one of the reasons he does this. One of the reasons why he cannot stand Donald Trump and he could not stand to have any change in Washington’s anti-Russia policies…

Along these lines, McCain has been at odds with Trump over the F-35 program, which involves one of McCain's top donors, Lockheed Martin. A $9 billion deal on the F-35 is near, Reuters reported today.

Clinton Tops List of Arms Company Donations: "The biggest donors – Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Boeing — devote about a third of their funds to Democrat candidates. In the last presidential elections, Barack Obama won more funding than his contender John McCain, though McCain is the top-earning senator this year."

I heard that McCain flew an aide to personally retrieve this crap.

And I wonder WHO Paid for that 'flight' ?

That is going past just doing his job. He was trying to undermine Trump.

He is 80 years old and just won his seat for another 6 years, time to give it up, sir.

I agree with you. He will continue to undermine PE Trump. I like the saying “when someone shows you who they are, believe them.”

McCain is no friend.

I’m sure the American taxpayer paid for it. How many investigations are going to have to be started on day one of the Trump Presidency?

McCain said he had no way of know whether it was valid damning information.

This guy is a Republican, right? He’s acting worse than the Democrats and that’s a very high bar to clear.

The GOPe and the dems are all in the same boat on this. They have cushy jobs, a golden umbrella, and pretend to oppose each other on camera. Off camera, they are buddies - I’ve heard this many times. They’re allied with the intelligence agencies, bureaucracies, and media to stop Trump from “draining the swamp”, which is after all them. Government is a candy store to all of these people.

When they lose their position they ALWAYS retire. Ref: Boehner.

McCain is not a hero. He crashed two jets and was shot down in a third “crash”because he wasn’t following orders. He wanted to make Admiral like his father and grandfather but the Navy told him to retire or be court martialed. He retired, left his loyal wife and married the daughter of a wealthy beer distributor prescription drug abuser.

He was bought and paid for by Keating but got off because he was a “war hero” while the other four were removed from office.

The claim that a billionaire hired a bunch of prostitutes to piss in Obama's bed didn't trigger any hunches?
