McCain associate subpoenaed in Trump dossier probe

Loading

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has issued a subpoena to David Kramer, a former State Department official who, in late November 2016, traveled to London to receive a briefing and a copy of the Trump dossier from its author, former British spy Christopher Steele. Kramer then returned to the U.S. to give the document to Sen. John McCain.

Kramer is a senior fellow at the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University.



McCain later took a copy of the dossier to the FBI’s then-director, James Comey. But the FBI already had the document; Steele himself gave the dossier to the bureau in installments, reportedly beginning in early July 2016.

McCain, recovering in Arizona from treatments for cancer, has long refused to detail his actions regarding the dossier. For his part, Kramer was interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee on Dec. 19. The new subpoena stems from statements Kramer made in that interview.

In the session, Kramer told House investigators that he knew the identities of the Russian sources for the allegations in Steele’s dossier. But when investigators pressed Kramer to reveal those names, he declined to do so.

Now, he is under subpoena. The subpoena, issued Wednesday afternoon, directs Kramer to appear again before House investigators on Jan. 11.

OH NO!!! Is McCain going to be forced to turn on his old friend Trump and testify against him? Will he be forced to reveal their joint collusion with Russia?

Senator I needed a Presidental pardon, and met with top terrorists in Syria McCain, Mr Cash from Soros One World Order boy gets a copy of a dossier and because of a brain condition he waddles to the FBI to the deepstate. Oh boy almost seems he was in on the election fixing for the DNC. Too ill to answer for his actions too bad.
