It’s no secret the late John McCain and Donald Trump didn’t get along.
But only now are Americans learning just how far McCain went to bring down President Trump.
And an explosive new report just exposed John McCain’s ties to this Never-Trump plot.
Christopher Steele’s phony “Russia dossier” ignited the collusion conspiracy theory when Buzzfeed published the report in full.
An investigation into the FBI’s spying on the Trump campaign by Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered the source of the leak.
As it turns out, it was one of John McCain’s most trusted aides, David Kramer, who allegedly leaked the dossier to Buzzfeed.
Horowitz reported:
Steele testified in foreign litigation that he did not provide his reports to journalists or media organizations and did not authorize anyone to share them. According to the McCain Institute staff member’s testimony in the same litigation, Steele requested that the staff member meet with BuzzFeed, and that Steele neither requested nor prohibited the staff member from sharing the reports with BuzzFeed.
Additionally, the staff member testified that Steele was aware that the staff member was furnishing Steele’s reports to The Washington Post.
Steele told the OIG that he trusted the staff member to handle his reports discretely and that the staff member betrayed that trust. Steele explained that the staff member had spent his career handling sensitive intelligence. Steele also said he understood from a former Ambassador that Senator McCain requested that Steele trust the staff member. Steele said he was “absolutely flabbergasted” when BuzzFeed published his election reports.
McCain also sent Steele’s anti-Trump gossip directly to the FBI even though Steele had been fired as a confidential source due to his media contacts.
But McCain’s strategy to take down Trump involved using his trusted aide to leak Russian disinformation about the President-elect to Buzzfeed.
The most bizarre twist of this story is the outing of the late Senator John McCain as a conspiracy theories who believed in the hoax that Donald Trump was somehow in league with Moscow.
What are your thoughts on the late Senator John McCain’s efforts to take down President Trump?
Sound off in the comments below!
I knew he was deceitful and wondered when he passed what shadows and dirt he left behind. When he ran for President I wanted him in office. Last two years his true colors showed up.
I think of John McCain as a traitor to our country long before Trump; going back to his crash on the Navy Air Craft Carrier, Forrestal, in 1967; his betrayal of fellow military while held captive, in North Vietnam; and colluding with the left wing House of Reps which hid behind moderation for a very long time. The left-wing democrats and those in the republican party who are part of that left wing are really all traitors to our country. They run on moderate statements and then in a most secretive sort of way pass rules, regulations, laws, and policies which are anti-American. It was a VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY ALL ALONG.
in short he was a mole from the start who knows what went on during his capture more so on top of that he was only interested his power and own personal gains to say the least, he sure knew how to hide it all.
JOHN McCAIN WAS A COWARD AND TOTAL TRAITOR TO AMERICA, BESIDES BEING A KILLER OF AMERICAN SERVICEMEN INTHE VIET NAM WAR!!
I ALWAYS THOUGHT B.O. WAS A IMPOSTER !??!!? BUT MC CAIN BEAT HIM TO THE PUNCH ! HE PUT ON A GOOD SHOW TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT !??! N O T !!!!
HE DIDN’T LEAVE THIS WORLD FAST ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!
MCCAIN WAS A LYING SOB, BACK STABBING PIECE OF CRAP, THAT COULD NOT BE TRUSTE.
HE HAD A COPY OF THE DOSSIER, WHY WOULD HE NOT GIVE IT TO HIS PARTY?
Agree. Why
McCain thumbs down vote NOT to Remove and Replace was another betrayal. I wonder who he was talking to on his cell phone during his vote?
John McCain in his own words was no hero. We should believe him.
i have a lot of respect for Former Prisoners of WAR!
But being a prisoner of war doesn’t automatically make then a hero.
Any more than the soldiers who fought and didn’t get captured.
The way he treated his wife after he was released was a good example of his character. The way he treated her negates any chance of heroism in my opinion.
