McCain knew Trump was a Traitor...he handed the Steele Dossier to the FBI

I realize a lot of us know this...But a lot of people don't, so it's important to spread the word. And yes, McCain hated Trump for being the antithesis of the principles and values that have been invoked at his memorials this week. But I think he would not have so carefully orchestrated his farewell if he did not hate Trump most intensely for being a clear and present danger to the nation and to the world.

He did a lot of fucked up things too though, but I also respect how he shut that woman down at that campaign rally who was trying to call O an arab.

at which McCain will be remembered. Only we’re in a very dangerous situation, there is no turning back for Putin now when he got that close and inflitrated US governemnt at the highest levels. Watching Active Measures documentary, must see.

Posting this link because I think this documentary is a must watch. This is not my OP, but one that I think needs to be seen.

McCain is in this documentary a lot. He was clearly aware of Trump being a Russian asset. McCain's willingness to be in a documentary like this probably means a lot more went on behind the scenes we didn't hear about. That would explain the hatred for him even more.

I believe Steele first delivered the dossier to the FBI, then soon became frustrated after about a month of apparent inaction ... and THEN he went to Senator McCain to give him the dossier, hoping his having it would prompt action from the FBI, and to get another agency (Congress) 'in the know' just in case the FBI was corrupt.

I know it's in a sense nit-picking, but I prefer accuracy ... again, correct me if I'm wrong.
