Sen. John McCain dives deep into conspiracy theories regarding the salacious so-called Steele dossier in his new book, "The Restless Wave," defending his decision to turn over the documents to former FBI Director James Comey.
"Conspiracy theories have grown around what I did and why," McCain wrote, saying those included that he's a "double agent for Russia" and that he "acted out of jealousy" that Donald Trump won a presidential election when he didn't.
But the Arizona Republican said he felt he had an obligation "to bring to the attention of appropriate officials unproven accusations I could not assess myself" that could make Trump vulnerable to a "hostile foreign power" if any of them were true.
"Anyone who doesn't like it can go to hell," McCain said, adding that he would "do it again."
The infamous Trump-Russia dossier alleged the Kremlin had been "cultivating, supporting, and assisting" Trump for years under the direct orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Though certain parts of the 35-page document, compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, have been verified, most of the allegations it contained were raw, uncorroborated intelligence.
That's why McCain says he handed it over to the FBI to investigate: to protect Trump from "groundless conspiracy theories," or to keep the Kremlin from using them to their advantage if the allegations were true.

Angry Scarborough: “Change the Channel” if You Don’t Like our One-Note Trump Hatred
You first McCain.
Ah, the cretin with the senate’s lowest IQ (an accomplishment in such a group of turds) speaks again.
Right. That's why he turned it over to Donald Trump as well as the FBI.
Oh ... he didn't?
McVain’s trip is already booked.
What a guy. Why would anyone apologize to this jerk?
So John, you believe hell exist eh?
They call you.
Sometimes I really wonder if he has cancer at all!
The media has been pretty silent with regard to how he is doing other than to say so and so visited him.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the FBI have a copy of The Dossier well before Idiot McCain turned his copy over to them?
You’re the one that is going to Hell, John, and your passage will be celebrated by many.
Save us a seat by the fire.
John McCain - Conspiracy Theories - Russia Dossier: ‘Anyone Who Doesn’t Like It Can Go To Hell’
He’s just hoping someone will visit him there.
He’s not just got cancer. Also Irish Alzheimer’s.
John would be able to give anyone a tour of hell in the next year or so.
The anger and resentment in strong in this one.
Lots of small quotations.
Either Ace can’t put together a complete sentence anymore, or there was very little in his missive that Big Media could propagandize.
I am familiar with a family member who had glioblastoma. That family member could not write books, make statements to the press, attack adversaries, or criticize opponents.
Some tell me McCain has a ghost-writer, has other people making press releases. I am not so sure because usually, the PR representative would make statements in the third person or at most first person plural. These statements appear to be coming from McCain directly.
It’s almost as if McCain is feigning a deadly disease to escape justice.
You took by verbatim response.
Guessing he wants some company.
“Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell,” McCain said, adding that he would “do it again.”
And Senator McCain said he will be joining them soon.
