'I view it more seriously than Orlando or San Bernardino': Russian hacking ...says John McCain (tr)
Daily Mail (UK) ^

Posted on 02/20/2017 9:15:16 PM PST by TigerClaws

John McCain is criticizing President Donald Trump's immigration ban, statements on torture, and attacks on the press while also pledging to investigate any possible ties the commander-in-chief and his administration may have to Russia and Vladmir Putin.

In an interview with New York Magazine, Senator McCain reveals that after President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton back in November he was fully prepared to back his fellow party member, despite the pair's contentious relationship in the past.

However he quickly found himself at odds with the billionaire businessman.

The 80-year-old war hero saves his harshest words however for Russia and leader Vladmir Putin, and says that their decision to hack the recent election was a greater threat to the United States than any recent terror attack.

'The severity of this issue, the gravity of it, is so consequential because if you succeed in corrupting an election, then you’ve destroyed the foundation of democracy,' says McCain of the hacking.

'So I view it with the utmost seriousness. I view it more seriously than a physical attack. I view it more seriously than Orlando, or San Bernardino.'

He then added: 'As tragic as that was, the far-reaching consequences of an election hack are certainly far in excess of a single terrorist attack.'

Senator McCain later explains that this is why the United States must confront Russia, and why the Senate must put together a bipartisan select committee to probe President Trump's possible involvement with any members of the foreign government or their leader.

What the heck is wrong with Juan? He's unhinged.

I hope the rumor of a big career-killing drop about to land on McCain soon is true. This guy needs to go ASAP.

Dude, something is up with the Senile Senator. There is some kinda panic around the eyes. A sense of desperation. Someone get the straitjacket ready.

What is this about?

Agree on your other point. McCain has not been our friend in a long time.

Ha!

Means the title is truncated. FR only allows 100 words and Daily Mail’s headlines are always about 200!

Trying to save his life...betcha Soros, or similar character, already paid for the good Senator’s services, but Johnny failed to deliver in a timely manner. Or just maybe Wikileaks does have something.

What a wacko bird. Trump could neutron bomb Russia and these maniacs still wouldn’t be satisfied. It has nothing to do with the Russians. They just want to overthrow the govt. Juan and his lefty associates are a much bigger threat to democracy. They hate democracy. They hate elections. They despise your right to vote.

Someone posted it on here tonight. Some Twitter (major grain of salt) post that said a big anti-McCain drop was forthcoming that’ll blow him out of the water.

Might be Trump weaponizing the information he has now and leaking it out to a plausibly deniable media source .. > shut Juan down.

That’s what the “Deep State”, RINOs, etc. are doing to Trump.

He's in Turkey today, devising a global plan to "deal with global threats". He thinks he's the president of the USA.

McCain is worried that Russia may hack into something he does not want seen. I can only imagine what that could be.

Maybe he knows that the Russians have the goods on him. Could it be his treachery, collusion with Hillary during the election or his outright criminality?

And why are the media, the FBI and RINOs more concerned about the source of the leaked DNC eMails than on the democrat election rigging they exposed?

I don’t think so. I think he is a very nefarious person who is bought and paid for by somebody important. somebody we would detest.
