It gets to john mccain, john mccain puts it in his safe, gives it to me and i read it. In the first thing i thought was, oh, my god. This could be russian disinformation or they could have this on trump. If you read this information in the first thing you would think it is they got something on donald trump. Its stunning, its end at salacious and its a bunch of.
