sending money to a millionaire, that's rich...

A GoFundMe fundraiser set up to cover the legal bills of fired former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe raised six figures within just a few hours Thursday, exceeding expectations and prompting the organizers to increase the goal of the campaign from $150,000 to $250,000. As of 7 p.m. Thursday, the fund had raised more than $200,000.
McCabe was fired from the FBI two days before his retirement by Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the recommendation of FBI officials. An upcoming Department of Justice Inspector General report is expected to be critical of him.
But Mr. Trump had long blasted McCabe publicly, largely for his wife's acceptance of donations from a Hillary Clinton ally when Jill McCabe ran for state office in Virginia.
"The support for Mr. McCabe has been overwhelming, humbling, and deeply appreciated," the GoFundMe page says. "He and his family continue to deal with the very public and extended humiliation that the administration, and the president personally, have inflicted on them over the past year. Unfortunately, the need for a legal defense fund is a growing reality. Media reports indicate that at a minimum, there are a number of congressional inquiries that he will be required to respond to, as well as the broader Office of the Inspector General (OIG) investigation that is ongoing, and any potential lawsuits he might consider."
After McCabe was fired, at least two dozen fake GoFundMe accounts were established to support McCabe, and a McCabe representative had to flag that they weren't official accounts.
McCabe, who called his firing part of Mr. Trump's "war" on the FBI, authored an op-ed in the Washington Post last week, describing his firing.
"Not in my worst nightmares did I ever dream my FBI career would end this way," McCabe wrote.

I wonder who donated....
McCabe is a multi millionaire and people throw money at him. Fools and their money...
The Left ALWAYS pays off its foot-soldiers...
Soros money.
sending money to a millionaire, that's rich...
Damn, the Progressive pimps and whores will really throw in to cover one of their own .... wonder how much the CIA threw in as McCabe was the cover guy for all their illegal gun running, drug running, sex slave operations, etc.
Does he have to declare this as income...?
Makes me mad that Flynn had to sell his house, and this guy gets donations for his legal bills.
For a guy who is worth 11 million why does he need to go asking for money?
Bigger question is how does an FBI agent accrue that kind of money in the first place? Because he’s a fu**ing crook!
As a member of the SES he will receive a full pension from them. What a piece of sh##.
Liberals better not complain about the poor or any other needy charity after wasting money on a millionaire.
why didn’t Flynn do this?
I always assumed I would get away with it.
After all, I am a Democrat. We almost always get away with it.
Note gofundme disallows conservative causes and defense fund raising only those they deem worthy get to use their system.
Flynn pleads guilty so he wouldn’t completely wipe out his life savings and this vermin gets dupes and useful idiots to pay his legal bill. Where is the justice in that?

Sorry for the dupe post - weird hiccup with the server
Wow, this is so disheartening, it’s depressing. Americans actually approve of their party using the full capabilities of government against the other. Maybe we do need a civil war to settle this for the next hundred years.
Money isn’t going to save his crooked *SS. Raise all the money you can... it won’t save you from “guilty!”
