AG: Whispers about the late Senator John McCain’s involvement in spreading the infamous Steele dossier around Washington mostly have been a sidebar to the larger scandal. But the court deposition of David Kramer, a close associate of McCain who was part of a defamation lawsuit related to the dossier, now confirms McCain’s wider role.
Explosive details in the deposition, released to the public on March 14 on order by a Florida district court, reveal how Kramer and McCain distributed the infamous Steele dossier to the media, the FBI, and Republican lawmakers after the November 2016 election. It’s now a harsh fact that one of Trump’s most powerful foes on Capitol Hill worked in tandem with Democratic schemers to discredit his election.
This is not inconsequential news. Further, McCain and Kramer’s handling of the still-unverified dossier authored by Christopher Steele, a British political operative, and peddled by Glenn Simpson, an influential Washington consultant who being was paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, is only one part of the story. McCain continued to ratchet up Trump-Russia hysteria after the election, as I wrote earlier this week. During a Senate hearing in June 2017, a clearly agitated McCain asked former FBI Director James Comey if he was aware that the Russians had information “that could coerce members of the administration or blackmail members of the administration?” Comey said he could not answer the question.
For rank-and-file Republicans closely monitoring how the Obama Justice Department weaponized federal powers in order to infiltrate the Trump campaign then fueled bogus suspicions about Trump-Russia election collusion after Trump won, this was another gut punch. McCain was defiant and vague about his role before his death in August 2018. But now it’s clear that a respected senator who accepted the support of tens of millions of Republican voters in 2008 during his losing bid for president betrayed many of those very same voters by attempting to sabotage Donald Trump.
It was the latest blow to McCain’s legacy in the GOP; before his death, he was far more popular with Democrats than with Republicans. In August 2018, McCain only had a 41 percent favorability rating among Republicans while 49 percent held an unfavorable view of the six-term senator, largely based on his strong opposition to Trump and his deciding vote on Obamacare repeal in 2017. more
The devil better watch his back, John McCain is evil!
A ‘respected’ Senator? YGBSM.
If the police go to a judge and attest under oath to a lie in order to get a warrant, everything found subsequent is fruit of the poisonous tree and thrown out.
Donald Trump joking about the Russians producing the emails that Comey was helping to destroy is nothing compared to Clinton hiring Perkins Coie (to violate campaign finance laws) to hire Fusion GPS (to violate FBI rules) to hire Christopher Steele (to break FBI rules and collude with Russian intelligence).
They’ve damaged our country more than a million dollars in Russian Facebook ads ever could. On purpose.
…the thumbnail is nice, but this is an even MORE honest “obama”/McCain image…

If I were one of John’s daughter’s, it would be very hard to admit my dad was a two-faced, silver-tongued, back-stabbing broken man who violated not only the country, but his men. I wouldn’t want to think about how he left his first wife, then hooked up with my wealthy-but-extremely needy mother. Glad I’m not one of his daughters.
A vindictive, arrogant, mean spirited prick, who disrespected women all his adult life.
But you won’t see that in the media.
John Mccain…the women in his life all suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome..
You swampers don’t want Trump to slag McCain? Fine. Let’s investigate the McCain Institute. Donors and all. Maybe even an IRS audit. Judicial Watch, what do you say?
Be careful! St John was beatified by GW Bush , and cannonized by BHO!
Speaking honestly of this lefty at the least requires 89OurFathers, and may result in burning in Hell! st John is our savior; ask either Rove or The Post?
Mccain should be removed from Arington and stuffed in clintons living room. But removed from Arlington at the very least.
John McCain was an overly ambitious narcissist unqualified for the positions he coveted.
Unlike his father and grandfather he wasn’t Admiral material.
He connived and schemed to maximize his station in life to become a Senator.
He thought he could leverage that to become POTUS by betraying his fellow Republicans to the MSM.
He always played the maverick to get attention.
He was in over his head from Annapolis on and was unknowingly used by smarter people around him.
But in his mind he could have ruled the world.
Megan your daddy was a tool.
He totally fell for the RICO operation jarret and the obozo echo chamber put together.
Good riddance John you pathetic excuse for a human being.
I though the was buried at Anapolis Naval Academy.
IS IT OK TO SAY THAT I HATE THE MEDIA ENOUGH TO WISH A TERRIBLE DEATH TO ALL THOSE PATHETICALLY PETULANT PRISSY PROGRESSIVE PATHOLOGICAL PUSSIES??
FORGIVE ME LORD, THANKS. AMEN.
