Politico, 10/25/2017:Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who has often clashed with Trump and who passed the dossier to Comey after receiving it last year, said even after learning about Clintons role in its production, he still believes the FBI needs to look into the allegations.
I received the document, I looked at it, I thought that it ought to be seen by the proper authorities and I took it immediately over to Mr. Comey, McCain said on Wednesday. Who else was involved or whatever else players there were, it was my duty to give it to him and not to do anything else with it.

OP
You're obviously looking for this all to make some kind of rational sense.

Eventually, you'll abandon that strategy....

Whatever it is that's driving him to sell his soul to Trump is more important than his friendship with John McCain.

Probably with some kind of material that proves he is gay, which Graham probably believes would end his career as an elected official from a deep red state.

He should be ashamed of himself, but these Trump Republicans have no shame.

These are ruthless people.

Josh Marshall pointed this out a few weeks ago.

It's a weird development as they already got their tax cut and because Trump's mental state seems to be deteriorating by the minute.
