Jill McCabe, the wife of fired former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, on Monday opened up about the "nightmare" she said she and her family have endured after being used as an example of alleged biases within the FBI by President Trump.
"I made the decision to run for office because I was trying to help people. Instead, it turned into something that was used to attack our family, my husbands career and the entire FBI," Jill McCabe, a pediatrician, wrote in an op-ed published by the Washington Post Monday.
In the piece, Jill McCabe recounted how she was poached to run for a Virginia state Senate seat in 2014 by the chief of staff of then-Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, following "an entourage of politicians" coming through her ER, and a reporter pulling her aside to ask "how Medicaid expansion would affect [her] patients."
The swing voter said she and her husband, a lifelong Republican, vetted the possibility of running with ethics experts at the FBI.
Andrew McCabe never helped with any of her campaign operations nor assisted with fundraising efforts, Jill McCabe wrote, though he did "he put on a campaign T-shirt" at a swimming meet so they "could take a family picture" with their children.
Jill McCabe insisted funding she received from Virginia's Democratic Party and then-Gov. Terry McAuliffe's political action committee was "on par" with other candidates in competitive races, regardless of party, and were publicly disclosed.
"Andrews involvement in the Clinton investigation came not only after the contributions were made to my campaign but also after the race was over," Jill McCabe added, having lost her election in November 2015.
"Clintons emails never came up if they had, I would have found that alarming, immediately reported it and likely pulled out of the campaign," she continued.
Trump repeatedly used the donations to draw links between Andrew McCabe and the Democratic Party as evidence of bias within the FBI that could have effected the way in which it conducted investigations of him.
Andrew McCabe, a 21-year veteran of the FBI, was fired on March 16, two days before he planned to retire on his 50th birthday so he could collect a full pension.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions dismissed Andrew McCabe following the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General reporting "allegations of misconduct" by him to the FBIs Office of Professional Responsibility "after an extensive and fair investigation.
His legal team, which is led by former Justice Department Inspector General Michael Bromwich, is reportedly still working to figure out what his pension and benefits will be following his departure.
And Clinton operative Terry McAwful gave you that $500,000 “campaign contribution” because he’s a nice guy.
Those who complain the loudest are likely GUILTY of crimes.
They are self-identifying.
That dame is just as bad as her crooked husband. If I were her, I’d quit drawing attention to myself but don’t tell her I said that..........;)
She herself is probably as corrupt he law breaking husband.f
You just summed it up beautifully.
It’s so sad when treason leads to consequences.
Gee, I bet the $750,000 the DNC paid for your campaign didn’t hurt too much did it? Honestly , you think you do more good as a politician, an amateur politician, a hack taking money from the DNC rather than being a pediatrician which is something that you actually know how to do? You’re a lying sack of crap. Just think, you are probably a successful pediatrician then you became an unsuccessful politician; what’s on the menu for tonight.... an unsuccessful victim? Go cry me a river you silly twit. And yeah, I spelled that wrong.
Me thinkest thou protesteth, too much.
More likely her race was a sham that she knew had no chance of success, to provide cover for Hillary to pass a huge bribe to her husband to ensure that the FBI would protect her during the Presidential race.
You’re a doctor, prescribe yourself and your family the blue pill.
Lie with dogs........ Opening your trap defending a scumbag husband... that’s rich. Jill McCabe is on the lies. Easy to do once the half million dollars are in from rubes for his Defense fund. (Note McClown has not been charged with nothing requiring a Defense fund)
Another scumbag perp wee-wee-weeing about being caught red-handed.
LMAO
Cry me a river, b**ch.
Tell it to Michael Flynn.
Her FB page was yanked down almost as fast as that teacher’s (Mallard...?) that created a SBR on cam out of her hubby’s AR without BATF permission...
She can’t understand normal thinking.
Unleashes? Is she a dog?
Uh, Boo-Hoo...
