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.

Why is it that he never jumps on a Democrat?
Hacking? I thought that was a montage of Hillary doing her best Lewinsky impression.
I don’t think Ryan stands a chance, ever. Many who voted for Trump can’t stand Ryan and would not vote for him, me included, no matter the opponent.
When you consider McCsin, Lindsay Graham and Susan Collins, the Demoncrats really have a 51-49 majority in the senate.
[Why is it that he never jumps on a Democrat?]
Exactly. McCain knows who his friends are in the Uniparty. He’s never gone after Pelosi nor Obama even close to something like this. A real piece of work he is.
We’ll be lucky to survive this inside treason. These people are beyond crazy. McCain seems worried like Cankles.
Well, he is loved and adored in Arizona.
It’s so crazy. I had to vote for this clown in 2008 because the Obamanation was so evil. Looks like he’s trying to match it.
Yes, Obama knows if it’s captured, it just might get out.
Just like Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch talking in a private plane on a tarmac. Engine noise all around (even if just other aircraft; air conditioners running).
They did not want that conversation to get recorded.
I would posit that discussion of “grandchildren” constituted 15-30 seconds of the whole conversation.
I think you are right, he is worried what someone has on him. He could only take two routes, shut up and blend into the back ground or come out and try and bully his way past what is coming. I am betting one of two things, this goes back to Vietnam or McIsane was heavily involved with Hillary and Obama trying to smear Trump at many levels and using his office to move documents or information.
The damned fool thinks he is some kind of Roman pro-cousul crap, he’s bat crap crazy and a four square progressive liberal to the core.
I would posit that discussion of “grandchildren” constituted 15-30 seconds of the whole conversation.
We need this SOB, don’t we, to pass legislation?
He’s been always working for the Dems from the Republican size. Even takes Soros money I read.
Size = side.
Trump needs to ask McCain how much the Saudis are paying him to keep Assad in his sights.
Y E S
Bkmk
I think he's close to and fearful of being outed.
Words cannot express the disdain & contempt I have for that traitor.
It’s not enough that he helped create ISIS. Now, he is proudly stabbing Trump & every conservative in the back. The man is deranged.
It’s very telling that when Juan is criticized on Twitter, the only people coming to his defense are leftists. Leftists are quick to call him a “hero” and are angry that anyone would criticize him. The very fact that his biggest defenders are leftists says it all.
Juan McCain should have went down in the Keating Five scandal years ago.
Arizonians, who keeps funding McCain, and when is he up again for reelection????
