RINO John McCain gave the dossier to Comey

May 10, 2018 11:05AM PDT
The now disproven Russian Collusion document was given by McCain to Comey.

"Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who is preparing for the end of life and suffering from Stage 4 cancer, is not holding back in his final months.

Now, in his upcoming book “The Restless Wave” which will be released on May 22, McCain finally admits he is the source that gave former FBI Director James Comey the shameful, unverified dossier which was compiled by Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer. As we’ve now learned, that research was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and the document was used in front of FISA judges to allow for the wiretapping of Trump campaign insiders.

This means McCain’s actions are ultimately what lead us to the ongoing Russia probe conducted by Robert Mueller.

According to The Daily Beast, the report of the stunning admission doesn’t include the fact of how the dossier was funded.

McCain’s involvement apparently happened after Steele met with American leaders in Rome to discuss his research. But what really got the ball rolling against Trump was McCain’s action of handing the dossier to Comey. "


Backstabbers go straight to hell.

A document was disproven OR Russian Collusion was "disproven"?

Mueller investigation is complete? You must be talking about a "document"

"unverified" does NOT mean "disproven"

Now, in his upcoming book “The Restless Wave” which will be released on May 22, McCain finally admits he is the source that gave former FBI Director James Comey the shameful, unverified dossier which was compiled by Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer. As we’ve now learned,

FINALLY ADMITS???????

McCain writes that in November 2016, he spoke with Sir Andrew Wood, a former British diplomat, at the Halifax International Security Forum. Wood alerted him to Steele’s work after which, David Kramer, senior director for Human Rights and Human Freedoms at the McCain Institute, traveled to London to meet with Steele. Prior to this, as The Washington Post reported, Steele had already met with American officials in Rome to discuss his findings. The Arizona Republican had previously issued a statement in January of 2017 about passing over "sensitive information" to Comey.

I think he FINALLY ADMITTED it 16 months ago

STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON RECENT REPORTS
Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement on recent news reports:

“Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public. Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI. That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue.”

And he's already announced he
May 10, 2018 1:40PM PDT

will vote against Halper for CIA head..........one of his best friends that he was a POW with was on FOX two days ago and said that with his book comments about regretting having Palin as his running mate, the friend stated that since McCain's cancer is in the frontal lobe which is the focal point judgment and decision making, he can only attribute that 'regret' to the cancer now. I (Toni) cannot for the life of me understand how he hasn't already been removed from his Senate seat.....with either a special election or a new appointment made for it by the Gov of AZ. If he's to the point that he's now blaming Palin for his losing, he's joined the ranks of the LIAR in finding excuses for his loss. Even his friend who was there when McCain announced her, he was upset at all the great attention she was getting (the friend had tears in his eyes in pride for how well she was received) and felt McCain was actually jealous of her.

Is this McCains best friend, that was on FOX news?

If not, perhaps you could provide this "best friends" name, the "best friend" that trash talked him...I'd like to read the entire story right from the horses mouth...

Please and Thank you.

Just to make your quest easier(IF you pick up the baton)...I'm particularly interested in the claim you make that the friend stated that since McCain's cancer is in the frontal lobe which is the focal point judgment and decision making, he can only attribute that 'regret' to the cancer now.

Watched the video...the claim by James Warner about the brain cancer/frontal lobes and poor judgement, decision making was at the very end of the video.

In your post you said

Even his friend who was there when McCain announced her, he was upset at all the great attention she was getting

It sounds like he was 'regretting his choice" way back then....He wanted to set the record straight?

I had read that info about effects of brain cancer on other sites previously.

It is also not unusual for people WITHOUT brain cancer, when they are near death, to express their regrets....(confession?)

McCain was tired of being a POW and he isn't holding back any longer?...

He needed a "medical excuse" to say what he regretted doing?
