15/ added, I was the exception. She said she absolutely would have paid for it and it was one of the most amazing and shocking stories she ever heard. Not a fucking word about it appears in Game Change because no person has protected @MeghanMcCain John McCain’s legacy with less — PolitiTweet.org

14/ they do what I did which is talk non stop. The second thing she noted was that during her 30 years of practice that many clients had said she should be paying them for their story. She said that always made for an easy Narcissist Personality diagnosis. However, she — PolitiTweet.org

13/ the therapist would probably think they should be paying me by the end of the session. I talked stream of consciousness for 1:50, non stop. Ten minutes out the Therapist stopped me and explained that when a person goes through a trauma and talks about it for the first time — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

12/ Quick but true story. The first time I went to see a therapist was in 2011 to deal with the personal fallout from the chaos, disgustingness and insanity of the McCain campaign. I didn’t really know where to start, I had arranged a 2 hour session and I just blurted out that — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

11/ DILIGENCE around Palin. I wasn’t. This was reported at the time and is detailed in Game Change. I was focused on dealing with a different catastrophe. Get back to me @MeghanMcCain if you want to hear more. Here’s a preview — PolitiTweet.org

10/ @olex_scherba was outrageous then and it is outrageous now. Here is the serious part. The person I’m talking about, is the one who was in charge of VETTING the VP candidate. True. Putin’s guy, the one who was Victor Yanukovich’s henchman was in charge of ALL of the DUE — PolitiTweet.org

9/the exposure of corruption and hypocrisy not its accommodation. Do you have any idea how disappointed the brave people in Ukraine would be learning that one of Victor Yanukovych right hands is on the Board of the McCain Institute. Let’s ask. @visegrad24 @KyivIndependent — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

8/ In return, 14 non stop years of abuse from @MeghanMcCain, the singularly most rotten person I have ever met. The McCain Institute is supposed to fight for freedom and liberty but it has Putin and Yanukovych alumni on the Board. It is gross and we live in an era that requires — PolitiTweet.org

7/ on a SouthWest Flight with the National Press Corps gathered in NH waiting for him to drop out. That is when John McCain called me and asked me for help. It is the opening scene of Game Change. I helped him and his corresponding comeback made him the GOP a nominee for POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ 70th Birthday by his top aide? It was a McCain guy who represented the interests of the Russian Government in the Montenegro Independence referendum. Weaver was aghast. This is why the campaign went KABOOM in July of 2008 and your father went from front runner to middle seat — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/ Yanukovych, as you probably have no idea, was Putin’s puppet in Ukraine. The story of American corruption in Ukraine starts here. It starts in John McCain’s operation, not Trumps. @MeghanMcCain,did you know that your dad was taken on Oleg Deripaskas yacht in Montenegro for his — PolitiTweet.org

5/ SAME AS TRUMP — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

4/Rick and it explains how we met. I’ll attach a story from @thenation that I only read recently, though it is from 2008. It is spot on @MeghanMcCain. Your Father tolerated his campaign chairman being in business and working for Putin through his association with Yanukovych. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ campaign through a series of unethical transactions and markups with Manafort and a company called 3 EDC. The campaign was destroyed over a massive fight over John McCain’s greatest blind spot, willful or otherwise. @MeghanMcCain this is the story of the man you call Uncle — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ a pro Russia faction. The pro democracy faction was led by Weaver and the pro Russia faction was led by a Washington lobbyist who was in business with Paul Manafort. Like Manafort, he had a Trump Tower residence. He was in charge of the campaigns finances and bankrupted the — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I had no interest whatsoever in running a Presidential Campaign in 2008. One of my closest friends was running John McCain’s campaign and John Weaver was the chief strategist. There were two factions in the campaign. There was a pro-democracy faction and there was — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I had a golden rule. Disrespect Agents of the US Secret Service, goodbye. She was the only person who was a multiple offender. That was the only entitlement I would grant her. She was a 24 year old 2 year old. Monstrous behavior. The real life Veruca Salt x 1000000 — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesPPierce @Goddessljt @MeghanMcCain She’s almost 40 — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

All done. No more. I realize many people think the disclosure of this information is very similar to @MarkTEsper disclosing Trumps Mexico War plan. Oh it’s not. I didn’t do a book. I just took the abuse and kept quiet for 14 years. Statute of limitations is up. Feeling great. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

She didn’t say she didn’t like @MeghanMcCain. She said she “had two good sons” I said, “everyone knows that” I get it. Meghan is John McCain’s daughter so she can call me a pedophile and smear me with abuse for 14 un responded years because I told her NO in 2008. Sorry. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I had no involvement whatsoever in this stupidity and condemned it at the time. More right wing smears. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The whole filthy Fascist mob is out today. First, I have no financial involvement with LP. More smears. from Putin’s boy. I haven’t been involved meaningfully since the Georgia races. This guy is a world class liar. World class and he hates his country. https://t.co/L3wdAaReOP — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

It’s @ggreenwald GO PUTIN ! Greenwood. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Most of the fall activities of the LP were filmed so that’s a start. Untrue. More smears. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Here is @MeghanMcCain liking a piece of right wing filth that calls me a homophone and says I made up a story about childhood sexual abuse and that I used the below language. I completely deny it and will offer $100,000 cash to anyone who steps forward with credible proof. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

RT @BobShrum: I know Steve @SteveSchmidtSES and this is entirely true. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I have long rejected any such association and reject it now. My public record on these matters speaks for itself. Im not afraid of any of you Trump smear artists. The camp was Rock Hill and if you weren’t penniless I would sue you. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Shut Up. Your an idiot and a liar . When I disclosed a story about being abused at @boyscouts Boy Scout camp as a 12/13 year old I referred to the abuser by the name we called him “Gay Ray” it was 1982. Your distortion of that was dishonest and typical for a Trump liar. — PolitiTweet.org
