The whole McCain part of the dossier saga stinks.
According to court documents, Steele had 16 different versions\drafts of the dossier.
Comey already had a copy of the dossier (which version ? who knows) in the summer of 2016 and maybe earlier.
How does McCain even need to be involved, on a 12/09/2016 come late to the party hand-off to Comey ?
Why didn’t Comey tell McCain that Comey already had a copy ?
They brought McVain in purely to add the imprimatur of “Senior Republican Senator” asks FBI Director to investigate the dirty dossier.
Then, when Comey does the fake “briefing” of POTUS-elect Trump in early Jan. 2017, they leak to the MSM that FBI has briefed Trump. This is how they provided a pretext for CNN to claim the matter was “newsworthy”and not just a bunch of anonymous unverifiable smears from partisan Democrap oppo research.
