Sorry I don’t have the original newspaper reports from years ago because there were only a few and I was only casually interested. But Webb sort of confirmed it months after I read them.

One DC reporter dug on a story (I skimmed it but didn’t save it) about an alien from Africa that got in trouble committing a carjacking and was arrested. The alien was reported in various newspapers to not know what he was arrested for as he had been instructed to take the car to a destination. The immigrant may have been duped. But the story involved JTTF FBI Agent McCabe. Reports of JTTF news would catch my eye for reasons explained below.

McCabe at the time was at FBI around DC but not yet Deputy Director. McCabe was reported by FBI agents to have made a deal that let the arrested alien have a lenient plea deal, letting him stay in the US, but McCabe was known to communicate with the probation officer as to what, where, when, how the immigrant would be monitored and controlled.

The reason McCabe had the case is because it involved a foreign alien which was within the JTTF’s role and scope.

I remember the alien’s name was Ali. Ali was used to find other criminals and to pay them to do things that were illegal or bordered on the illegal. It was believed by FBI agents the instructions came from McCabe himself.

Later I read the reporter was warned about getting too close to McCabe’s growing network of felons or parolees.

Later, McCabe having shown his ability to ‘get it done’ was chosen by Comey to be Deputy Director. That was widely reported in most news outlets.

The connection between Imran and McCabe came presumably either directly through one of McCabe’s leashed convicts or through other layers. This was followed by reporters that had tracked McCabe from the Malheur debacle to DC. McCabe’s actions with respect to the killing in Oregon caught the attention of a lot of folks some of whom were attorneys and others who were reporters.

Going back to when McCabe was a field agent for JTTF in Portland, OR (McCabe was never regular FBI, he was always JTTF FBI and thought himself superior to regular FBI), he was known for the same MO, he would entrap or arrest people and then use them. He was known to frame innocent people and then arrest them. He was bad from the start.

My best friend who passed away from liver cancer in the latter half of the 2000s, he had a friend from high school and we would meet for dinner on occasion. His high school friend was a retired FBI agent. He talked about a news story where McCabe was in charge of a case involving an immigrant in Portland falsely caught up on terrorism charges. We talked in general about the impact of the JTTF on the FBI and the country. McCabe was apparently trying to earn his stripes arresting people even if there were exculpatory circumstances. We talked about the Patriot Act, the formation of the JTTF, what was happening in DC with FBI, DOJ. My Dad had been an attorney for DOJ so I was keyed into these things.

I gleened that McCabe was known in the FBI community as a real bad apple but Comey didn’t give a damn. Because FBI HQ had become more aligned with JTTF which was viewed as superior to mere field offices of regular agents, they didn’t give proper weight to field offices and their recommendations.

Later, when I followed Webb, and I think Webb gets it wrong sometimes because he’s getting a data feed that he’s trying to repeat on his videos and sometimes stumbles with words, names, and events, but he mentioned McCabe’s reputation in Portland and that confirmed what I had heard casually. This was when I first started following Webb.

The FBI killing of LaVoy Finicum in Oregon (Malheur National Wildlife Refuge which was deserted for the Winter), that was a McCabe related operation of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team out of Quantico just before McCabe ascended to Deputy Director of the FBI. The FBI agent who was charged with manslaughter was not put on leave and the case was sat on for more than a year and half, all of this arranged by McCabe.

So an innocent man was killed by a ‘hostage rescue team’ and his family was nearly killed with him all because people like McCabe liked to create drama and bask in false headlines for their own ambitions. Frankly, that pissed me off. Candidate Trump said he would have handled the whole affair without bloodshed by spending 30 minutes on the phone.

The consensus is that McCabe lets some out of his jail or off the hook but let’s it be known he can have such people put back inside at any time for any reason. So he controls them.

Do I believe McCabe had a role in Seth Rich’s death? I think he had a role in the murder of the two MS-13s that murdered Rich. I believe McCabe was Comey’s go-to guy when the crap rolled downhill from the Oval Office regarding the data breach at DNC. I believe Comey brought McCabe into the discussion and McCabe said “I’ll take care of it” which is why Comey made McCabe his Deputy Director. McCabe could be relied on to “get it done” and “take out the garbage” and Comey wouldn’t need to get into any details of how it would be done, he could feel relieved to report back that the matter was being handled.
