McCain associate invokes Fifth Amendment on Trump dossier sources
An associate of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) invoked the Fifth Amendment in order to not testify before the House Intelligence Committee on the unverified Trump-Russia dossier,
The committee originally issued a subpoena for David Kramer — a former State Department official and current senior director of the nonprofit McCain Institute — in December.
Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) had wanted to speak with Kramer about his visit to London in November 2016, during which he met with the author of the dossier, former British spy Christopher Steele. According to court filings, he met with Steele at McCain's request, to view “the pre-election memoranda on a confidential basis."
Kramer then traveled back to the U.S. and gave copies of the memos to McCain, who then turned the documents over to the FBI.
1) Republicans want to know if the document was used as the basis for a surveillance warrant on any members of the Trump campaign.
2) However, Democrats want to know if the salacious claims about Trump in the dossier, which connect him to Russia, are true.
The committee interviewed Kramer last month prior to issuing a subpoena for him.

Calling Mr. Mueller, Please look into this ASAP!
How is answering #1 or #2 going to be a criminal act by him?
