McCabe says Trump's involvement in whistleblower complaint is 'incredibly concerning'
CNN Politics ^ | September 19, 2019 | Devan Cole

Posted on 09/22/2019 7:24:53 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said Thursday that a recent whistleblower complaint about a communication between President Donald Trump and a foreign leader is "incredibly concerning."

"I think you are right. This President has a history of treating classified information and sensitive information questionably at best," McCabe, a CNN contributor, told CNN's John Berman on "New Day."

The concern was first revealed by The Washington Post, which reported that an official in the American intelligence community was so bothered by a "promise" Trump made to a foreign leader that the official filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general of the intelligence community, citing two former US officials familiar with the matter. CNN has not independently confirmed the detail about a "promise" made to the foreign leader.

there was no whistleblower only a completely anonymous message

PDJT has zero involvement with this non-event since it is impossible to have any involvement with a non-event

McCabe is about as credible a fink as Benedict Arnold, even less so actuallt imho

why any media would carry such a ridiculous ‘story’ is a farce or just more seditious propaganda bs

Nixon was fighting the swamp before most of us even realized there was a swamp.

When is CNN going to figure out they’ve been had by the Clintons again? There is NO whistleblower, and there never was one. This is a story invented by the Clinton machine to take out Biden while simultaneously (but only temporarily) smearing President Trump.

It may be a real headline, but it’s old news. Why would you post this? I assume by now even McCabe knows that the whistleblower story is just another example of fake news.

It is concerning if you are a Biden.

And although Nixon may have known - maybe even ordered the break in

It was actually arranged by Dean. The true purpose of the break in ( unbeknowngst to the participants - Liddy found out about this years ago and actually sued Dean over it, don't know how the suit turned out ) was to retrieve a "blackbook" of hookers that the DNC used for when bigwigs came to town. It turns out Deans wife ( or soon to be wife ) was listed in the book ( along with compromising photos ). Dean wanted that book ( and photos ) destroyed. The "bugging" was only cover to get the book. This is explained in detail in the book Silent Coup: The Removal of a President by Len Colodny

Why do you keep saying Barr hasn’t done anything about McCabe? Isn’t that matter still pending?

Yes, Barr declined to prosecute Comey on his leaks, but Comey is certainly not out of the woods yet. I believe that John Durham will make a complete investigation into the abuses of power committed during the Trump coup attempt. Comey leaking unclassified information may very well be trivial when weighed against his other possible offenses.

If I’m WRONG feel free to straighten ME out.

Nixon was set up, from inside the administration.

It was quite the operation - keep in mind, he had won re-election in ‘72 against McGovern in a MASSIVE landslide, something like 509 Electoral votes. He was gone just a year or two later. Nixon wasn’t exactly Mr. Conservative either. Just staunch anti-communist. They never forgave him foe that.

Republicans never made much sense to me. By that I mean some of the people they hire as “strategists” or “campaign advisors”. Remember that chick who worked for Sarah Palin, in the McCain run? She was the one that set her up with an ambush TV interview with whatever her name was. With friends like that ...

I think it would be great for America if (after a fair trial and conviction this bum had his traitorous neck stretched.

I can imagine this weasel (with apologies and all due respect to the furry kind of weasels) just hoping that this, or anything else, might hurt Trump and save him from prosecution.

Mr FBI (Full Blown Idiots) McCabe had better be worried. All of this will eventually point at him.
