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).

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.
