Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Tuesday that Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer was “many more shoes that will drop.”
In June 2016, Trump Jr. met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer amid promises that she would provide compromising information about Hillary Clinton. On Monday evening, the New York Times reported that the promised info was part of a Russian government effort to aide his father’s presidential campaign
“Many allusions and many stories of meetings and communications and stuff, yeah, so there’ll be many more shoes that will drop,” McCain told CNN’s Manu Raju in an on-camera interview.
“How serious do you think this particular shoe is?” Raju asked, referring to Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya after being promised dirt on Clinton that was reportedly part of a Russian government effort.
“I don’t know. But it’s certainly another shoe that’s dropped that needs to be pursued and looked at,” McCain said.
McCain has said as much before. On May 16, a week after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, he told the International Republican Institute: “It’s of Watergate size and scale,” referring to the scandals roiling the White House, adding, “it’s the centipede that the shoe continues to drop. Every couple of days, there’s a new aspect of this really unhappy situation.”
Shoes made by Ivanka’s sweatshop in China, no doubt.
And yet you backed him, knowing what an incompetent oaf he was.
I don’t agree with Pappy McCain on much, but on the Russian government we see eye-to-eye.
He wanted to put Palin a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Not known for discernment.
And the next Drumpf-backed legislation coming up for a vote, Grampy McCain will be first in line to vote “Yea”.
Ok, maybe it will be a 1 - 2 race between him and Lindsey Gal.
