Inside the Trump dossier handoff: McCain's 'go-between' speaks out

EXCLUSIVE – The man who says he acted as a “go-between” last year to inform Sen. John McCain about the controversial “dossier” containing salacious allegations about then-candidate Donald Trump is speaking out, revealing how the ex-British spy who researched the document helped coordinate its release to the FBI, the media and Capitol Hill.

“My mission was essentially to be a go-between and a messenger, to tell the senator and assistants that such a dossier existed,” Sir Andrew Wood told Fox News in an exclusive interview with senior executive producer Pamela K. Browne.

Fox News spoke to Wood at the 2017 Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada. As Britain’s ambassador to Moscow from 1995-2000, Wood witnessed the end of Russian President Boris Yeltsin and the rise of Vladimir Putin.

Just after the U.S. presidential election in November 2016, Arizona GOP Sen. McCain spoke at the same security conference. Wood says he was instructed — by former British spy Christopher Steele — to reach out to the senior Republican, whom Wood called “a good man,” about the unverified document.

“I have been angry at him so many times, now for him and his family I wish him a peaceful passing.”

The right thing, and I agree. None of us will die without having made many, many mistakes in life. I just pray that on balance I do more things right than wrong.

[hardspunned]

The last word from this bitter, resentful, self absorbed POS’s dying clenched teeth will be Trump. Hopefully the thought of Trump will be one of many things that torment him in hell.

McCain’s that dumb ? or he’s part of trying to take down a president ? or he’s a patsy ?

As my old Dad would have said “YUP, YUP, YESSSSS”.

[Major Matt Mason]

None of us will die without having made many, many mistakes in life.

I'm pretty sure none of us here has directly worked to undermine a legally elected president. Sorry, but McCain is a disgrace to his party and country, and will go to his grave as such.

[5th MEB]

I just want him to CROAK as soon as possible.

[Parley Baer]

“McCain’s that dumb ? or he’s part of trying to take down a president ? or he’s a patsy ?”

McCain is guilty on all 3 counts.

Resign now, McCain.

[Robert357]

McCain is no friend to the Republican party.

[RegulatorCountry]

Oh yes he is. He’s no friend of conservatives though, you’re conflating the two.

Before he meets his Maker, may we please see this traitor in handcuffs, along with the rest of ‘em.

[hal ogen]

The old loser is no friend of Free America.

Wood says that he was told at the time that the FBI already had a copy of the dossier, when he was asked to share it in the US, with “good man” McCain.

So, McCain then delivers his copy of dossier to the FBI. I take it, that was McCain’s effort at a CYA action for self preservation?

Certainly go-between Wood would have mentioned to McCain that he (Wood) was told by Steele that the FBI already had a copy.

[RitaOK]

McCain is definitely failing, noticeably. I saw him a week ago, during the day of the big vote in the Senate on the tax bill.

He had a male aide walking him down a hall way, and who appeared to be discretely holding McCain’s right wrist up. McCain was holding a cane in that hand. Later, I heard a report that senate leadership were trying hard to schedule the vote before 11 PM, for McCain’s sake, needing his vote desperately, and saying it would be too tiring for him to delay the vote beyond that hour.

Have not seen or heard a peep from him since that day of the vote.

[EDINVA]

All “news” outlets keep obits of noted people, and update frequently. They don’t have to be terminal, like McCain is now.

[RegulatorCountry]

Maybe he’s got a curfew on his house arrest. Wouldn’t want the ankle bracelet going off in the middle of a vote.

“...I have been angry at him so many times, now for him and his family I wish him a peaceful passing....”

Heh...you’re a much better and forgiving person than I.
I only wish the very worst for the outright enemies of my country.
This man has been nothing but a traitor.
