McCain: Leak of Trump dossier ‘totally wrong’
The Hill ^ | January 17, 2017 | By Mark Hensch

Posted on 01/18/2017 2:30:46 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says the leak of an unverified dossier claiming Russia has compromising information about Donald Trump is unfair to the president-elect.

“The president-elect has a point,” McCain said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."

"The fact that this un-validated document, to say the least, was leaked — it’s somebody’s responsibility," said McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“The very fact that it was leaked, one, is a commentary on this town," he said. "Second, [it is] totally wrong to have that out.”

“[It is] an un-validated document that is damning out there among the American public without any validation whatsoever. And so it’s harmful to the president of the United States.”

McCain also criticized Trump and outgoing CIA Director John Brennan for arguing about the controversial document’s public dissemination. . .

IIRC on Howie Carr McCain was the one who sent someone to England to obtain a copy of the information and passes it on to sources, that already had copies.

Evil man.

McCain is to Republicans what Lewis is to Democrats. Both are dumber than rocks and if it weren’t for a quirk of fate that made them heroes long ago they would be nothing today. They both took that personal event and used it to propel themselves into Congress. Since arriving, both dim wits have embarrassingly banged around up on the Hill making nothing but fools out of themselves.

“The very fact that it was leaked, McCain would not say the document is a total lie, as is the democrat addendum.

Time for McCain to be put out to pasture.

John McCain is lower than RINO.

Reading this makes me wonder what Trump has on McCain. McCain didn’t make this about face for no reason.

Someone yesterday speculated that some Senate GOP folk came to McCain and had a "come to Jesus" meeting.

So to is obamaaa’s fake, (fake birth certificate) but both serve a purpose for the left.
Pontificating the sentiments of the “42%” (minority) who approve of President Elect Trump by the same pollsters who so aptly saw his election coming. These people have zero credibility and are too stupid to realise it.

In a sense, this is a good sign, this business of eating crow. It might keep him on the rez in confirming the more embattled cabinet nominees. I know, I know; it’s McLame. One can hope.

In other words, “it never really got any traction, so let’s just forget I was instrumental in making it public.”


Bingo. This traitorous bitch tried to destroy Trump, likely to help Jeb. It all blew up in McCain’s face and his prints are all over the sabotage effort.

Who attempted to subvert and hack the U.S. election with foreign influence? McCain.

Some political enemy of DJT apparently paid to have the report done, then someone gave it to the Rabid Chipmunk, aka Ho Che Min’s BFF, aka Juan McCain who in turn gave it to the CIA or some such improbable story.

The Rabid Chipmunk is, IMHO, likely responsible for the report in its entirety.

“If anything, his imprisonment may well be the reason he is insane now. But we won’t know.”

We ALREADY know.

Ace “Songbird” McCain was a willing belligerent against the US, then and now.

He is no more insane than the enemy he helped elect in 2008.
