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.
Now we learn through FBI insiders, Comey spiked an FBI probe that uncovered McCain and Romey’s ties with Fusion GPS. The same Fusion GPS that funded the Trump dossier from DNC-linked coffers.
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.
What FBI boss would want their name popping up in the middle of a Bureau investigation?
Romney and McCain have worked in tandem previously and run in the same never-Trump circles. While politics are politics, the duo caught the FBI’s eye because of alleged illicit payments made to Fusion GPS.

FBI agents were also interested in financial transactions from the McCain Institute for International Leadership, John McCain’s shifty answer to the shifty Clinton Foundation.
Why am I not surprised.
I hope this is in time to derail Romney’s primary bid.
And I also hope this leads to embarrassing revelations of McCain. Would not bother me in the least for him to witness his legacy’s demise before he croaks.
Who funded Fusion GPS?
That needs to be reopened.
I have never hope that Session or Rosenstein will do anything. I think Sessions is actively trying to sink President Trump
Now which is it? McCain/Romney or the Clinton campaign?
Color me surprised. Not.
This is the true reason the GOP-e is slow walking this investigation.
McCain and Romney are NOT the only ones involved.
How is Fusion not shutdown as a hotbed nexus of evil and evildoers?
Steele, McCain, and Tim Kaine all attended that 2016 security conference in Halifax. All 3 ought to be deposed on their activities there.
“McCain/Romney or the Clinton campaign?”
Just how yuge is the difference there?
“....has turned the once-great law enforcement agency into a rubber-stamping political hack....”
This is what happens when we have an illegal, unqualified, ineligible, 3rd world communist POS for POTUS. Liberalism destroys everything it touches, EVERYTHING, including the highly esteemed FBI. It’s now nothing but a dismal joke with zero crediblity and should be totally disbanded.
Yes.
“Now which is it? McCain/Romney or the Clinton campaign?”
They are one and the same.
All of them were in on it!
Well if unnamed super secret leakers say it, it must be true.
But a full investigation of Fusion and the Dossier is in order, including these aspects. Let’s see all Fusion’s financial transactions.
Yes. There is no doubt there are as yet unseen commuications that will get Sessions involved in all of this. Always pay attention when he starts blinking when uncomfortable questions come his way.
But more interesting is the possibility payments were funneled to Romney through Fusion GPS or the D.C. law branch of Perkins Coie LLP to oppose Donald Trump’s candidacy. Either way, the GOP had its fingers in funding the Trump dossier prior to Trump’s election.

Well, this is getting interesting. All roads lead thru Fusion GPS. The money laundering arm of the Deep State.
“That needs to be reopened.”
I’m pretty sure Horowitz’ IG team is doing exactly that. Lindsey Graham mentioned a second Horowitz report in the works on Hannity today. If I heard him accurately it deals with FISA and the dossier. The two are intertwined.
We suspected a rep candidate initially funded the Fusion work. McCain showed more than a cursory interest, with his dispatching a secret agent for a claudestine handover in Europe. And it passed without much notice that the Russian gal (escorted around the capitol by Dellums) met and was photographed with McCain prior to her meeting with Trump Jr.
Then for months after the Fusion story hit the press, the MSM spun the tale that no, only the dems (but not Hillary!), no reps in sight. LIARS, ALL!
