GOP’s McCain and Romney Were on the FBI’s Radar for Funding Trump Dossier; Then Comey Pulled the Plug on the Probe
John McCain’s and Mitt Romney’s ties to Fusion GPS had the makings of a promising federal investigation before FBI agents were told to stand down and walk away from compelling evidence, FBI insiders said.
Now Romney is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Utah, another lesson in why the FBI’s chronic issuance of get-out-of-jail-free cards has turned the once-great law enforcement agency into a rubber-stamping political hack.
Almost one year ago True Pundit broke the story linking McCain to providing the Trump dossier to the FBI — as well as helping to fund it.

And now GOP-linked coffers as well as GOP subterfuge.
Who says there is no bipartisanship in the beltway?
However, FBI sources confirm the Romney and McCain probe was short lived. FBI brass, including James Comey’s refusal to green light an expanded investigation or seek insight from the Justice Department on the evidence, FBI agents said. They were told to leave it alone, it was a political case.
Ironic. Since it was Comey who used McCacin and possibly Fusion GPS with FBI funds as well to put the Trump dossier in play.

Thanks for the ping!
Old news becomes relevant by Pierre Delecto’s suspicious behavior. It almost seems like he’s guilty of something. Requires further digging!
