I agree, I do not believe John McCain will ever be in Washington, D.C. as a sitting Senator again..He is not recovering from treatment, he is in the final stages of brain cancer..Notice no photo’s, no Christmas statement from him or any of his family..

I imagine the end is close, I also lost my dad to brain cancer and the end is very difficult.

John McCain will take his ‘secrets’ to the grave with him..and I imagine the Congress will make a long procession of his funeral, and burial . Really sad..but that is their standard procedure ..

He largely suffers from Soros exposure.

It was a cover story, but of a different kind. The FBI knew perfectly well all about the dossier’s origins. That was not the issue for them.

The cabal had been unable to get the MSM to pick up on more than a few broad strokes of the dossier during the election campaign (because it was such unverifiable garbage), and now (Nov. 2016) Donald Trump had been elected despite their best efforts. McVain and Kramer were involved in presenting the dossier to Comey AFTER the election, at least according to what I read awhile ago.

This was a new phase of the plotting, to give the FBI “Republican” cover to say it had to take the dossier seriously. The big revelation of the dossier in the MSM came AFTER Comey “briefed” POTUS-elect Trump on January 6, 2017.

The way they got the garbage into the MSM (via CNN and then Buzzfeed) was by (1) having McVain and Kramer give the dossier “Republican” bi-partisan concern (so that it would not be Democrap fingerprints on it), and (2) having Comey ride on that RINO concern to “brief” Trump, so that (3) now the MSM (in Jan. 2017) could drape its “reporting” of the dossier in the claim that “top intel officials” had taken it seriously enough to brief the POTUS-elect.

McVain and Kramer were all about giving Comey & co. “bi-partisan” cover for pretending to take the dossier seriously enough to get it into the MSM. Without that it would have been too obviously a partisan dirty trick.

So it proved to be a RINO/Demoncrap bi-partisan dirty trick, enabled by Comey, the Ohrs, Strzok, and their dirty pals in the FBI and Dept of Justice.

Ooops! It looks like this Kramer idiot is Buzzfeed’s source for the dossier. From Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller:

“BuzzFeed obtained the full 35-page report in late Dec. 2016. The identity of BuzzFeed’s source remains a mystery, though everyone except Kramer who is known to have handled the document has denied providing it to the website.

McCain, Steele and Fusion GPS’s partners have all denied being BuzzFeed’s source.

Attorneys for Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian businessman suing BuzzFeed over the dossier, revealed last week that they recently learned the name of BuzzFeed’s source. That disclosure was made several days after Gubarev’s lawyers deposed Kramer.”

YES. I hadn’t seen this article but it fits like a glove with what I was just saying in #47 above.

McVain and Kramer were needed to lend “bi-partisan” support to the idea that the FBI should continue to “investigate” the material of the dossier in winter 2016-17, and by getting Comey to fake-brief POTUS-elect Trump on Jan. 6, 2017 they enabled CNN and Buzzfeed to justify “reporting” on the dossier (CNN’s initial report was that senior “intel” officials had briefed Trump, and then Buzzfeed immediately used that “report” to justify publishing the entire unverified pile of garbage).

McCain handed the dossier to Comey.

Kramer handed it to BuzzFeed.

Then, Comedy meets with candidate Trump and tells him this dossier exists. BuzzFeed publishes the entire dossier saying, “Trump was briefed on this. We can’t verify anything in it... but here it is.”

Then the MSM covers it saying, “BuzzFeed reported on this dossier...” and word is all over.

Quite a political smear.

To think that Comey - knowing what garbage this was - used it to get a FISA warrant to wiretap then-candidate Trump is Watergate on steroids. It’s using the apparatus of the FBI/DOJ to target a political opponent of the party in power. 3rd world dictator stuff.

Trump has exposed so much. He’s completely exposed the MSM as an arm of the Democrats with absolutely no respect for their role in our democracy. They’re hacks. He’s exposed the FBi and DOJ as corrupt at the highest levels, capable of executing a coup attempt of a duly elected POTUS. Scary stuff.

“...He is smart and tough enough to handle this....”

True enough.

As I’ve said many times regarding Trump: You don’t get to be the CEO of a global multi-billion dollar business empire by being stupid or by letting people outwit you.

2. Who paid for his airline ticket, expenses to Lodon

McCain later took a copy of the dossier to the FBI’s then-director, James Comey...

I HATE that mother ####er and regret that he survived his plane crash as he has been nothing but a TRAITOR and a CROOK of the highest degree.

I spit on him and will open one of my finer bottles when he passes.

"There is a very soft underbelly to this entire story that leaves [MCain's] slam-dunk prediction completely compromised. All the while that McCain was talking up Ukraine as being a potential future hot spot on the Russian geopolitical horizon, Republican insider and political strategist Paul Manafort was deeply entrenched in Kiev. He was advising a Soviet apparatchik with strong Ukrainian-Russian mafia ties by the name of Victor Yanukovych; the very man who would become Ukraine’s president in 2010, the very same man whom Ukrainians sent packing out of the country in 2014 through an incredible three-month long protest against his authoritarianism and corruption.

Before 2008, Yanukovych’s political party, called the Party of Regions, worked closely with a lobbying firm called Davis Manafort (out of Delaware) comprising of Rick Davis and Paul Manafort. In 2008 Rick Davis became McCain’s presidential campaign manager. Paul Manafort worked closely with Rick Davis for years as they own a lobbying firm together called Davis Manafort and Freedman (out of Arlington, Virginia). Back home in the U.S., Manafort himself wanted to chair the 2008 Republican Convention, but was rejected because of his heavyweight lobbyist reputation as a Washington insider. Manafort ran Bob Dole’s Republican Convention back in 1996." -- Mark Musser, American Thinker, March 7, 2014

John McCain has been a traitor to the Republican party for a long time.

He has been a traitor to America for a very long time. He was turned while at the Hanoi Hilton and has been a Communist plant and has subverted and stole from the American People since he returned.

Since his days are numbered, he has pulled out all stops (his voting and actions abroad show this) to do as much harm before he passes. His handlers have cut him loose to do as much damage as possible because they know the noose is tightening with President Trump in charge.

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