I seem to remember that McCain sent someone to Europe to pick up this report and delivered it to the FBI? Am I remembering correctly?

[Rusty0604]

Yes.

[PA-RIVER]

Yes, our hero, McStain, working for Hillary, Obama and Putin.

McCain gave them a copy of the dossier, to provide a cover story for why they already had it. Hillary’s agents in the FBI and DoJ likely either initiated the concept or were following orders, which included guiding Steele and Simpson on what to include to make it fill the FISA bill.

Trump dossier: Secret sources, an airport handoff and John McCain

https://www.irishtimes.com/.../trump-dossier-secret-sources-an-airport-handoff-and-jo...

Jan 11, 2017 - Explosive but uncorroborated material delivered to FBI chief by Republican grandee. ... Republican senator John McCain, who passed on unverified intelligence documents about US president-elect Donald Trump to the FBI. ... He delivered his reports, but the gravity of their contents weighed on him.

Yes, you are right. McCain of course hates Trump and wanted him to lose. So Hillary’s campaign needed a useful idiot that was a Republican to get the Steele report over to the FBI to try to give their opposition research some legitimacy not as opposition research but as some objective independent investigation that was introduced to the FBI by a Republican. Enter the useful idiot

now they are compartmentalizing...even though the FBI had it, someone wants to know when the DOJ got...huh ?

Doofus McCain was a patsy. He was used by the FBI/DOJ to create an aura of legitimacy for the dossier. That's also why the phony dossier was shaped around so it would take on a life of its own. I remember how Clapper and Brennon were peddling the dossier's legitimacy. I do not have the timeline down, but I recall the FBI was turned down the first they went for their eavesdropping FISA warrant on Trump and his campaign. They later went back a second time, presumably with more information, which may have come from the dossier and finally succeeded in getting the warrant.

Yes you are

McLame was just piling on, as he was apparently out of the loop but gangbusters to Get Trump!.

Was McCain’s courier a member of the senator’s staff or an employee of the McCain institute?
