John McCain is at it again, further pushing himself as a “Duty” Driven man. Although most of his actions, from the ACA vote to the Dossier seem motivated in anger and spite or Trump, who has criticized McCain often.
The Daily Beast Reports: In his new book, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) defends his decision to give a controversial dossier about President Trump to former FBI chief James Comey.
“I agreed to receive a copy of what is now referred to as ‘the dossier,’” McCain writes in the upcoming book, titled The Restless Wave, referencing information compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. “I reviewed its contents.

The Daily Beast obtained an advance copy of the book, due out May 22.

Wood alerted him to Steele’s work after which, David Kramer, senior director for Human Rights and Human Freedoms at the McCain Institute, traveled to London to meet with Steele.
