Sen. John McCain provides intimate details of how he obtained the infamous so-called Steele dossier in his new book, "The Restless Wave."

The Republican senator was attending an annual security conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia shortly after the presidential election in November 2016 when retired a British diplomat approached him.

According to McCain, he didn't recall ever having a previous conversation with Sir Andrew Wood, but may have met him before in passing. Chris Brose, a staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and David Kramer, a former assistant secretary of state with Russian expertise, joined McCain and Wood in a room off the main conference hall.

After discussing Russian election interference for a few minutes, Wood explained why he'd approached McCain in the first place.

It’s okay because he has been serving in public office since Lincoln was President and he had “brain” cancer.

Don’t forget his fawning “concession” speech to the Fraud.

Ben Gleck gushed over it for the 8 seconds he had on my radio today.

I don’t even believe McCain wrote this story. It’s likely mostly fiction to fit a narrative that makes him look good and Trump look bad.

“I did what duty demanded I do,” McCain wrote, adding that anyone who disagrees with his decision can “go to hell.”

Will you greet me from there, Juan?
