McCain’s Key Role in Fueling Post-Election Trump-Russia Hysteria
By Julie Kelly at American Greatness
“In his 2018 book, The Restless Wave, the late Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) wondered aloud why he was sought out and given the infamous Steele dossier shortly after the 2016 presidential election.
After suggesting that anyone who questioned his role in handling the political document was indulging in “conspiracy theories,” McCain offered his explanation: “The answer is too obvious for the paranoid to credit. I am known internationally to be a persistent critic of Vladimir Putin’s regime and I have been a long while.”
We are not of those who “wonder why ” Senator McCain was “sought out” and given the phony attack ‘dossier’ on Trump”. While the late senator fashioned himself as a ‘persistent critic’ of Vladimir Putin, John McCain was a major enemy, not just a “persistent critic” of Donald Trump…and anything else…preservation of America’s democratic system, national security, success of an Administration to benefit the nation’s citizenry, anything else ..be damned!
John McCain’s “loyalty” to the nation can be rightfully questioned, just as his “loyalty” to his first wife after she endured his captivity…a terrible ordeal for her as well as the senator’s. McCain’s story is compelling and widely disseminated and unquestioned because it is an American story we all want desperately to believe…and if not completely accurate, we don’t want to hear about it.

Continuing the American Greatness article:
“Many people now insist that it is somehow unfair or disrespectful to examine McCain’s role in the biggest political scandal in American history because he is gone. Although the president has a valid reason to be angry about McCain’s role in this scandal, Trump’s impetuous remarks only obscure the more serious charges about the late senator’s complicity in fomenting the destructive post-election Russia hysteria.
“The American people deserve a full accounting of all the players involved, even if the facts are unsettling for some to reconcile. The unwarranted and yet unproven Russia collusion hoax will forever taint the Trump presidency and has resulted in real life consequences for innocent people, not to mention the upheaval of our political system. No one should be shielded from responsibility.”
Amen.
