McCabe Says FBI Call Not To Prosecute Clinton Angered Some Agents
Fox News ^ | May 11, 2017

Posted on 05/11/2017 11:44:03 AM PDT by Helicondelta

New Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe acknowledged for the first time in public testimony Thursday that some agents were angry with the 2016 decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton – while also defending ousted Director James Comey’s overall standing at the bureau.

“I think morale's always been good, but there were folks within our agency that were frustrated with the outcome of the Hillary Clinton case and some of those folks were very vocal about those concerns,” McCabe testified.

McCabe also denied reports that Comey had requested more resources for the Russia probe in the days leading up to his termination, with McCabe saying he believes the probe to be “adequately resourced” and adding that normally the FBI will not request resources for a single investigation.

Was Comey trying to shake someone down with the request for asditional funds. Hope they check his bank accounts.

Oh and the Washington Post lied again. Where is the CNN headline on this?

The thing that angered the tens of millions of Americans is the idea that the FBI director thinks he has that authority.

He’s supposed to give his evidence to the AG and let them make the call.

And take the heat if they decide to not prosecute.

McCabe is a stone criminal. He thinks he IS the law. So did Comey the Corrupt.

THAT’s why Comey was fired.

Yeah let’s compare what Comey did to poor Hilary by killing the charges, versus had he recommended she be charged. Duh.

McCabe also denied reports that Comey had requested more resources for the Russia probe

************

Pretty clear (but not surprising) that the Washington Compost lied about this. Both DOJ and McCabe denied it. Talk about FAKE NEWS!

I am just so frustrated at the level of stupidity that this country’s political discourse has reached.

We have this candidate who set up her own secret server, lying repeatedly about it, and later found to be trafficking top secret documents in violation of federal law not to mention common sense. She’s walking free as a jaybird today bragging about being part of some “resistance,” which is so irresponsible for a supposed leader of a major political party.

The fact that Cankles isn’t facing a trial for her freedom today is an absolute fire-able offense on Comey’s part. Instead, what are the media talking about? Some cockamamie theory about how the Trump campaign colluded with Russians to hack into computer systems that has no shred of evidence whatsoever?

Seriously? Have we gone insane?

<><> Bill Clinton on the tarmac,

<><> IRS and Lois Lerner,

<><> Holden and Obama’s Fast and Furious,

<><> Hillary and Benghazi,

<><> Susan Rice’s Benghazi lies,

<><> The Clinton Foundation, unlimited,

<><> The Clintons’ Uranium 1 Deal,

<><> Susan Rice’s Unmasking,

<><> John Podesta’s Russian deals,

<><> Huma and Cheryl Mills’ self-serving activities at State,

<><> Huma’s hubby’s laptop / classified emails stored on it,

<><> Huma’s cousin stealing 6 million bucks from the State Dept,

<><> Obama’s foundation looting 100 million from State “to teach Muslim girls in Morocco,”

<><> and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

If Comey had integrity, he would have put himself in cuffs.

As it is, he chose to egregiously and repeatedly overstep his authority and a thorough investigation of potential criminal acts while in office is warranted.

He’s trying to keep himself out of jail. He is not stupid enough to think he has a chance of lasting any longer than Trump needs to line up an appointment, and isn’t even likely to last that long without Comey protecting him, given the scope of his conflicts of interest.
