Crowdfunding page for fired FBI deputy director close to $500K
ABC "News" ^ | March 30, 2018 | By CHEYENNE HASLETT

A crowdfunding campaign to cover legal costs for Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director fired two days before he planned to retire and obtain a full pension, was approaching half a million dollars Friday, almost double its $250,000 goal.

In fact, the original goal for the legal defense fund was $150,000, which was later raised to $250,000, and by Friday more than 10,000 people had donated more than $460,000.

An updated description called the support “overwhelming, humbling, and deeply appreciated.” The funds will go toward “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,” the page said.

If Mike Flynn starts one of these, I’m in.

Flynn’s crowdfunding pages were all shut down for violating rules prohibiting raising money to pay legal expenses.

Actually I hope he raises $10 million. Less Leftist money to political campaigns more money for-useless drama queen shows like this and the Parkland clown posse.

“Flynn’s crowdfunding pages were all shut down for violating rules prohibiting raising money to pay legal expenses.”

Then why can McCabe raise money for legal expenses?

“You can see how much people are contributing and it is mostly 100 dollars per person. Lots of people are donating.”

Well, if 500 people contribute $100 and one guy contributes $450,000, you can indeed say that “most people gave $100,” in fact you could say that nearly 99% of the contributions were $100. But it would not negate the truth that the enterprise was essentially a bribe/payoff from the one who gave $450,000. Given the history of McCabe’s wife being a conduit for bribes from the Xlintoon Crime Syndicate, I would be inclined to look into this a bit if I was a prosecutorial investigator.

I believe there is a book titled “How to Lie With Statistics.” I’ll read it some day.

When I just checked 11,459 people had donated $485,385 which makes the average donation $42.36.

I hope that Trump gives him a reason to spend every last dime of that on legal fees, just before he goes to prison.
