Former top FBI official Andrew McCabe, who was fired late Friday night by Attorney General Jeff Sessions two days before becoming eligible for full pension benefits, said in an extraordinary statement that he was targeted because President Donald Trump wants to destroy him as part of his "war" against special counsel Robert Mueller.
"This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement and intelligence professionals more generally," McCabe said in a statement released shortly after Sessions announced his decision. "It is part of this administration's ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the special counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the special counsel's work."
The statement was the first time McCabe had spoken candidly of his anger at the Trump White House. In it, he painted a remarkable picture of an administration that tried to politicize its principal law enforcement arm, the FBI, and discredit several of the bureau's longtime leaders, all in an effort to escape scrutiny of Trump by the special counsel.
McCabe noted in his statement that he had knowledge that could be useful to Mueller's investigation into events involving the president.
"Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of (FBI director) James Comey," McCabe said.

There are many, many loyal and patriotic Americans in the Federal government at all levels, don't get me wrong. Look at the border patrol, ICE, the Dept of Defense, and other agencies. They have maintained courage in the face of the onslaught - for years.
We need to keep the good employees, and purge the Obama thugs. They are still doing great harm to the nation, and getting paid for it.
Trump runs the entire Executive branch, which includes DOJ, and the FBI works for DOJ. The problems that for decades the FBI, CIA, and other agencies all believe they are the 4th Branch of Government. They are not.
“....It would be nice if they would just stop killing children and babies....”
Their demon god, Molech, will have none of that!!!
Death is what these SOBs do best.
Some say fight “fire with fire”. I’m not so sure I disagree.
What destroyed McCabe is getting involved with the Clinton”s. Look at there history there are bodies every where and they ride off into the sunset free and a bird.
Fire Mueller.
President Trump has a gift for unmasking the Deep State.
Sorry I asked.....
“Nixon also contributed money to Felt’s defense fund”
Nixon actually contributed to the defense fund of Deep Throat?
What a guy.
Mark Felt has said he was Deep Throat in the Watergate mess.
I wish Trump would pardon Dwight and Steve Hammond who were hounded by the Bureau of Mine and Land Management over water rights. This has been a total travesty of justice. It is almost impossible to get 100,000 signatures in just a 30 day span.
