One of the Senate’s leading Republicans predicted Sunday that there are “a lot more shoes to drop” in the probe of President Trump’s connections to Russia and said Congress must call top Trump associates to Capitol Hill to testify.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona told CNN’s “State of the Union” program that he remains troubled by growing evidence that leading aides to the president communicated with Russia throughout the presidential campaign last year.
He specifically said longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone, who admitted last week to having conversations with the hacking group that claimed responsibility for the breach of Democratic Party emails, must come before Congress to answer questions.
“There’s a lot of things about our relations with Russia that trouble me a lot,” Mr. McCain said. “There’s a lot of aspects of this whole relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin that requires further scrutiny, and so far I don’t think the American people have gotten all the answers. In fact, I think there’s a lot more shoes to drop from this centipede.”
It’s been revealed that ousted White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Attorney General Jeff Sessions each had meetings or phone conversations with the Russian ambassador during last year’s campaign.
Democrats and other critics have seized on those communications to make their case that the Trump campaign may have worked with Russian agents during the election, or at least passively let those agents work against Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid.
Specifically, they say the Trump campaign may have encouraged or willingly turned a blind eye to Russian hacks of Democratic Party emails and messages of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chief, John Podesta. Both email dumps were deeply embarrassing for the Clinton campaign.

Sad but true...
That is a chilling thought, but the WikiLeaks showed that the CIA can make a cyber attack look like it was done by a foreign entity when done by them.
I think the article is trying to say that Trump’s team didn’t work with the Russians but knew what they were doing and did nothing about it.
That’s right! I forgot about that. Detestable!
John McCain is a Democrat.
John McCain stays for the same reason they ALL stay—POWER!
Pretty ckear noq the Dems and Cankles had contacts w Russkies. That will come out. PS, STONE was not a part if Trump campaign.
Frankly, I don’t care if Putin was Trump’s campaign manager. Look at all of the money from hostile foreign governments that ramped up Hillary’s campaign.
WHO CARES ??? If it was wrong for Trump, it is wrong for Hillary.
How would McCain know any of this, anyway? hmmmm.
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
It is clear that McCain is unwilling to work with the President. No matter what the Administration does, he will take every opportunity to undermine President Trump. I think it is time to fight fire with fire and go after him for a) releasing the fake anti-Trump dossier, b) endorsing Obama, c) his Keating Five corruption, and d) any other of what are undoubtedly many skeletons in his closet. I would stay away from Vietnam but hammer him on everything else. This would at least serve to depict him as a “Trump Opponent” rather than the media’s preferred description of him as a “Leading Republican”.
Wonder what you’d find if you hack McLame’s e-mails. Not suggesting someone should, just wondering what you could find.
“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”

That power may be the only reason women will pay attention to him, so I suppose I shouldn’t blame him . . . except that decent people are supposed to care about bigger things than their own gratification.
So he knows about more disinformation his friends in the deep state have created??
Old Juan is still peed off that Trump said he was no hero. Juan can’t take the truth and neither can that fat slob of a daughter he has on Fox.
That is making the assumption that he HAS a brain.
mclame talks of “shoes dropping”...he is what you scrape from your shoes.
For the sake of the country, McCain needs malignant Stage 4 Cancer.
The question is why hasn’t Mitch read him the riot act? What does it take for Mitch to do his job? The man is useless.
If Shrillary conducted DOS and personal/Clinton Crime Family business on her own unprotected, unencrypted bootleg server, and secrets were hacked by ANYBODY who felt like it; how is ANY aspect of that malfeasance Trump’s fault.
