White House officials who fingered Sen. John McCain as a major intelligence leak against President Donald Trump in February said Friday they believe the Justice Department could prosecute McCain despite his recent alleged medical diagnosis of a brain tumor.
“Justice is supposed to be blind,” one administration insider said. “We know he was a major leak and he should be prosecuted if evidence is found which we clearly believe is there. We’ve seen much of it. No special consideration should be given to anyone who leaks classified information. There were far too many special exceptions like that during the Obama administration.”
Is this payback for McCain voting against and basically defeating the Obamacare repeal in the Senate only hours earlier?
An administration official said no, highlighting the Justice Department doesn’t make exceptions for not prosecuting mob or cartel members suffering from health issues, so why should a U.S. senator prove an exception. The official said there is a possibility McCain knew he was sick at the time of the leaks and decided to railroad President Trump which would be made public as part of any criminal case.
True Pundit broke the McCain leak story in February:
This could be the beginning of the end for embattled Sen. John McCain’s life in politics. According to White House officials, McCain is believed to have somehow gained access to the content of President Donald Trump’s private, classified telephone calls with world leaders. And he isn’t keeping quiet about what was talked about either.
An analysis of McCain’s recent public statements by White House officials, coupled with information from intelligence personnel working with the Trump administration, paints a disturbing picture for McCain — or any elected U.S. politician. Officials believe the senator has inside knowledge of a number of President Trump’s telephone conversations, including at least one conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Even more alarming, officials believe McCain is secretly sharing this sensitive information with colleagues and his cabal of friendly mainstream media journalists in a dangerous clandestine campaign to damage Trump’s presidency even before it has a chance to succeed. Trump has been searching for media rats in the Beltway in recent weeks. White House aides are confident they have now outed one of the major leaks plaguing the early days of the Trump presidency. To everyone’s surprise, it is a senior senator supposedly belonging to the same side of the political aisle as the president.
McCain has been lambasting Trump to anyone and everyone who will listen since the newly minted president’s inauguration. This includes a Russian comedian who pranked McCain posing as Ukraine Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman. Even during that troubling conversation, where McCain shared sensitive U.S. intelligence with an imposter, White House aides said McCain unknowingly exposed himself as having inside knowledge of Trump’s telephone conversations.
Good. Bury the old buzzard. He needs to go.
They also need an audit of his “foundation”.
McCain should resign....period. We don’t need anymore drama.
I hope this is true.
Schlonged!
I would love to see McQueeg put through the wringer.
Get him to finally resign!!
I’m hoping that Russia releases their treasure trove of information on McCain starting with the films the North Vietnamese took.
Prosecute McStain, give his brain tumor the pension to make sure that it can support itself.
McCain will claim he is immune from prosecution by the Speech and Debate Clause. That was what DWS was claiming to get her laptop back from the Capital Police.
They are all criminals as far as I’m concerned.
He gave top secret info to the North Vietnamese that caused pilots to be shot down. Blabbing top secret info is nothing new for him.
When Saint Jeffery the Innocent gets back from chasing Big Foot in El Salvador, maybe he’ll look into it, or maybe not.
Brand new retirement residency for MCCAIN will soon be open...

Lock Him Up
McCain is nothing more than a brainless wasted piece of garbage & way past his expiration date. Makes me sick to think I voted for this creep way back when.
Just make him an offer he can’t refuse. He can quit over ‘medical’ reasons.
Id love to see McCain in JAIL where he belongs..diagnosis or no diagnosis he is a scum bag plain and simple. He was never a fighter, when he was running in 2008 he said “We have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency” he’s always been a leftist hack
“... the beginning of the end for embattled Sen. John McCain’s life in politics”
What a more fitting Tribute to this Scumbag’s career, - than to have this investigation completed and get this POS out of
the US Senate and behind bars! Amen.
Oh what a Happy Day that will be!
Make him pine for the good old days in the Hanoi Hilton and his special privileges there.
Not just the leak. Any involvement McCain had in the Dirty Dossier deal, too.
The FBI should interview him under oath, before he dies.
