Court files reveal role of McCain, aide in spreading anti-Trump dossier

That he is not a hero because he was captured?

No, the topic of the thread. McCains diseminating of the Russian Dossier. Ill wait here while you flail about looking for refuge in a strawman.
 
Court files reveal role of McCain, aide in spreading anti-Trump dossier



Regardless of how one feels about John McCain, the man, the long time senator who reached across the aisle to Democrats, a decorated war hero, a beloved father and husband, friend of many, I knew his hands were dirty when it came to the dossier and he lied about being involved in releasing an UNVERIFIED dossier to the media.

IMO, Trump's remarks about McCain not being a hero fueled McCain's vindictiveness. What a petty, false equivalency on McCain's part to give an unverified dossier about a sitting president to the media. Was he consumed with sour grapes or what?

Total garbage. The dossier should have been revealed because of the issues it raised regardless how one feels about Trump. And stop calling it unverified. It was one of the first if not the first indication that there was Russian interference in the 2016 election which R's flatly denied until it smacked them directly in the ass. More of McCain's honesty could be used in the ultra-corrupt GOP these days. Fat chance of that, though.
 
Ah, so when you proclaim-



You mean you hope he quits.

That is a likely avenue to remove Trump from office but it would require participation of Republican leaders of Congress as it did with Nixon in August of 1974.
 
He was a swamp creature who sought to use the IRS to bankrupt the Tea Party groups who dared to oppose him. He advocated for years to get rid of obamacare and then casted the deciding vote to save it to spite Trump AND was key in dissimenating the Russian propaganda in the dossier. Serving in vietnam is honorable but doesnt transform a dishonorable snake into something else.

Hang a picture of Trump in your living room, and put a copy of “The Art of the Deal” on your coffee table, because that is what you are dedicated to. Manafort and Stone are quintessential swamp creatures, not McCain. Have you no patriotism? Do you care about the rule of law? All you seem to care about is some narrow right wing agenda—not the ideals of our great nation!

Read Trumps tweets over the weekend. Sorry, it one big can of wrong.

He could have easily addressed his concerns as an adult. He choose not to.

And as McCain is dead there was no reason to even reference McCain except pettiness and emotional immaturity.
 
Yes. It was the right thing to do.

Well, right if your goal is to undo the results of the election based upon Russian fabrications bought and paid for by the hillary campaign. To so to speak, "collude" with Russia to destroy the democratic process of electing our politicians. The same reason I think it was the wrong thing to do.

I said it was factual. Regardless of whether you think its right to reveal the facts.

Its called a grasp upon reality. Sorry it doesnt match with your mythical view of McCain.

One comment to the mishmash above.
The dossier was unverified, uncorroborated at the time it was released to the media by McCain's intermediary, David Kramer.
There's a thread on this. THIS ONE... Read it from the beginning, and be sure to read Kramer's unsealed deposition that proves McCain lied when he said the dossier suddenly
appeared on his desk.

If there was no collusion then Trump had/has nothing to fear, and no election result will be undone.
The way to deal with serious allegations is to bring them into the light.
 
Not when its Russian propaganda bought and paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign for President.

Your argument is weak and illogical. You think the FBI doesn’t consider the source of information? That is standard investigative procedure. It simply would not happen—especially considering the implications of investigating the President of the United States!

The fact is, the dossier attracted the attention of law enforcement—the possibility of the existence of Russian kompromat, coupled with Trump’s weird rhetoric and bizarre behavior toward the Russians, raised the specter that the President of the United States was being extorted by the Russian government. This possibility required the FBI to open the counterintelligence investigation.

very dark stain against John McCain is not a fact

and why on earth did he bring up Obamacare and McCain? How on earth is it relevant?

It's not. It is emotional immaturity so extreme that it's mental illness.

And you need to think of yourself, being a protector of a sick narcissist makes you what?

Very trumpian. Fantasy is reality, real news is fake news, propaganda is news, and news is propaganda. It’s fascinating to me to read posts like yours. Do you watch Fox News 24/7? How about Breitbart or Inforwars? Do yourself a favor and watch something else for awhile and get some perspective.

If you want proper credentials, see the people who wrote in THE DANGEROUS CASE OF DONALD TRUMP edited by Dr. Bandy Lee.

Are any of those people who wrote the book or (the editor) Dr. Brandy Lee... President Trump's mental health Doctor?
