Byron York: McCain associate subpoenaed in Trump dossier probe
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec 27, 2017, 2:59 PM | Byron York

Posted on 12/27/2017 3:31:50 PM PST by Texas Fossil

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has issued a subpoena to David Kramer, a former State Department official who, in late November 2016, traveled to London to receive a briefing and a copy of the Trump dossier from its author, former British spy Christopher Steele. Kramer then returned to the U.S. to give the document to Sen. John McCain.

Kramer is a senior fellow at the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University.

McCain later took a copy of the dossier to the FBI's then-director, James Comey. But the FBI already had the document; Steele himself gave the dossier to the bureau in installments, reportedly beginning in early July 2016.

McCain, recovering in Arizona from treatments for cancer, has long refused to detail his actions regarding the dossier. For his part, Kramer was interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee on Dec. 19. The new subpoena stems from statements Kramer made in that interview.

“What a note to go out on for McCain. An old fool.”

He did a sweet thing with repealing Obamacare too. With a long career of douchebaggery imagine what this prick’s “dossier” will look like.

“There is no fool like an old fool.”

Don’t rub it in! The only dumber fool than this one (me) that I can think of is when he was a younger fool!

Wasn't it nice of McCain to trot over to the FBI with this dossier AFTER the election. He really reached across the aisle on this one in his attempt to bring down the duly elected POTUS. What a Maverick!

To be mild, there’s not enough scapegoating possible to cover the real treason McCain has committed his entire adult life. With Obama and Hillary, he ranks among the three worst Americans who have ever walked the Earth.

I'll second that!

People call him a hero. I just call him a traitor and a waste of space.

Because he IS a traitor! The North Vietnamese didn't give him the sobriquet 'Songbird' for nothing!

I know. Government stooges have made it into a science.

They probably have an entire dept. that handles giving out "Titles"

Why don’t they subpoena McNuts, himself? He’s the one that gave, and probably had a hand in, the dossier to the FBI.

Yes, you're absolutely right: McShame was the dupe that was employed to give the dossier the proper “bi-partisan” cover, and McShame and his mini-me Kramer played their assigned roles to perfection.

He’s probably like a do over on that now that he knows the truth is coming out.

Watching his daughter Meghan cry profusely on TV has convinced me that McCain has less than a month to live.

Correct. The story is, McCain handed the copy of the dossier to Comey and he said he had been involved in it for several months. So it was not news to Comey.

But John McCain was waste deep in this stuff.

Comey was involved with the Dossier for months before the election.
