There’s a new book out by Guardian journalist Luke Harding that provides some previously unknown details about the Trump dossier.
The Daily Caller has broken it down and what it reveals is how the anti-Trump forces all had a hand in it in some way from the Clinton team and Democrats paying for it, to media and John McCain spreading it. And it reveals even more evidence of Clinton collusion with the Russians.

McNuts was a mole for the democrats from the get go it’s why the MSM covered for him all these years Trump was right about him.
They don’t call it the swamp for nothing.
Maybe the cancer story is for sympathy when it comes time for arrests.
I detest McCain.
While I’ve repeatedly defended him over the years in regards to the lies about his culpability in the Forstall fire, I really can’t stand the guy.
His part in the “Keating Five” used up any good will I might have for his “war hero” status back in the 80s. You can be a war hero and still wind up being a scumbag.
My favorite quote about McCain is that he’s a Soviet “Ace.” After all, he destroyed 5 American aircraft during his career!

Yeah I don’t doubt that McCain was willing to be used. But I would attribute this to Hillary rather than McCain.
Who paid for the flight?
Someone paid an expense claim.
According to a Vanity Fair article last April, while attending the Halifax International Security Forum last November, McCain and David J. Kramer, a former State Department official specializing in Russia, learned of the dossier from Sir Andrew Wood, a former British ambassador to Russia. Sir Andrew said, "We spoke about how Mr. Trump may find himself in a position where there could be an attempt to blackmail him with kompromat." Kramer, who then worked at the McCain Institute for International Leadersip, volunteered to go and retrieve the kompromat in question.
From the article:
On an evening about a week later, using a ticket purchased with miles from his own account, Kramer flew out of Washington and landed early the next morning at Heathrow. Once on the ground, as per stern instructions, he operated on Moscow Rules. Told to meet a man loitering outside baggage claim holding a copy of the Financial Times, Kramer engaged in an exchange of word code. At last satisfied, Christopher Steele whisked him off in a Land Rover to the security of his house in Surrey.They talked for hours. And Steele passed him his report. Was this the identical, somewhat sputtering 35-page memo that had already been making the rounds among reporters? Or, as some intelligence analysts believe, was it a longer, more expertly crafted and sourced document, the final work product of a well-trained M.I.6 senior deskman? Neither McCain nor Kramer would comment, but what is known is that Kramer flew back to Washington that same night, guarding his hard-won prize with his life.
On December 9, McCain sat in the office of F.B.I. director James Comey and, with no other aides present, handed him the typed pages that could bring about the downfall of a president. Afterward, the senator would issue a statement that amounted to little more than a hapless shrug, and a disingenuous one to boot: he had been “unable to make a judgment about their accuracy” and so he’d simply passed them on.
So, I guess the answer is, the courier used his miles. Of course, he does (or did) work for the McCain Institute. Among the Institute's funders is hedge fund billionaire and Bannon nemesis Paul Singer.
Such an interview would not go well, and I would likely end up in sing-sing, because I don’t sing well...
“Could mccain or his PAC or foundation be on some fusion gps deposit slips??”
It is possible.
Regardless, even if it was just DNC (Hillary) money, the contacts and or favors being used very well could have involved Ivan McCain Kremlin “friends”.
>>Why isn’t the Senate Ethics committee investigating this?<<
I think we can correctly surmise that the Senate Ethics Committee is comprised of members who are as guilty of the same wrongdoing as are those they would be “investigating”.
His duplicitous behavior is unfortunately a stain on his daughter’s career.
Selfish bastard.
