Maverick: I Gave The Dossier To Comey Because ‘Duty Demanded' It
2018-05-10
[Hot Air] Sen. John McCain’s new book reveals that he gave a copy of the Steele dossier to then-FBI Director James Comey in late 2016. McCain was first told about the existence of the dossier in November at the Halifax International Security Forum. That’s where he encountered a former British diplomat named Sir Andrew Wood. After hearing about it, a director at the McCain Institute flew to London to meet Steele. From the Daily Beast:

#17  When you repeatedly backstab your nation by siding against it with it's enemies, you're not a man but a traitor. I don't give a crap what McStain did in the past before his life in politics because he has wiped away any honor he once had by siding constantly with our enemies. I would say more but the mods get annoyed when we let our tongues have a bit too much rein.

#16  Funny, you would think that the way George W played dirty during the primaries against McCain combined with ongoing Trump vs Bush warfare, would have formed the basis of some kind of alliance. But no.

#15  Trump and McCain are “gentlemen” of the old school, you know farmers (I say that with great respect to farmers) They do not take stuff from anyone, they hold a grudge and make you pay for your insults. They are MEN not snowflakes! America is great because of people like this.

#9  McStain once again proving that the only thing that he cares about is McStain.

#8  McCain's logic seems to be "I was worthy to be President, Trump was not worthy, so whatever I do to hurt him is worthy even though it's unworthy." (Hey - he's the one with the brain tumor - not me - I'm just unraveling the warped logic).

#7  Had there been apolitical people at the top of the FBI instead of Democratic party operatives, the honourable senator’s connivance would not have been a problem — they’d have tagged it as vicious nonsense as quickly as the New York Times, et al did when it was originally offered to them. As I recall, it took the combination of FBI sponsorship, Obama staff off-the-record statements to everyone at home and abroad, and the report that both the outgoing and incoming presidents had been briefed on the thing to get it into the public eye ... via Buzzfeed because even so no other media publication wanted to be the first.

#2  Would McCain be equally credulous if someone handed him a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion?

#1  Befehl ist Befehl ("an order is an order"), may get you by in the confessional booth. History and polite society however, oftentimes deny relief.
