Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Thursday he feels strongly that Congress should "step up to the plate and do their job" and impeach President Donald Trump.
"I feel strongly that that's the same position Congress is in now, and they should step up to the plate and do their job," McCabe said Thursday on CNN. "It doesn't mean that the president will be removed from office or should be removed from office or will be impeached, but it is absolutely clear to me that the time has come for Congress to pursue a dedicated impeachment inquiry."
"I think it would solidify their position legally as they begin the process of going into court to fight over access to witnesses, and it would provide a more coordinated and coherent approach to having other witnesses come in and testify," McCabe added.
McCabe also expressed his frustration that Mueller "didn't really push back" on "misrepresentations" that Congressional Republicans laid out at the hearings. He concluded that the Mueller report is "the best answer" to the question of why there was an investigation.
"I think what for me was one of the more frustrating moments of the director's testimony, he really didn't really push back on many of those false narratives or misrepresentations of fact that you heard, and the conspiracy theories and other things that the Republicans laid out there yesterday," he said.

So, we finally get to see the “insurance policy” that was discussed in “Andy’s office” in August 2016.
This guy either has forces he has not deployed yet (or his bosses do) to carry the coup forward, or he’s cosmically stupid.
The agenda for the Congress is not set by former Deputy Directors of the FBI. Who the hell does this guy think he is?
Correct their testimony can only mean they are squealing on the criminals, but I am confused by her statement “Forget the IG”.
Wow.
However, still waiting for the first indictment or, even better, the first plea deal. Until then, it is all hype.
The time has come for Andy McCabe to be not merely fired from the FIB like he was but prosecuted for lying to Congress.
My hope is they have been summoned to appear before a grand jury. They were willing to lie to the I.G. but not willing to lie to a grand jury.
...I am confused by her statement “Forget the IG”.
I believe she believes that Durham is going to announce indictments. I hope her sources are good...IMHO.
“The time has come for McCabe to be INDICTED!!”
And do it while congress and SCOTUS are away for summer vacation.
Now that the Mueller impeachment plan has died, its spirit is wandering about, looking for a new body to inhabit.
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock!
THIS!
And to think, McCabe was put in charge of the Las Vegas mass shooting investigation.
I don’t believe a word of the “official” story of what happened in Las Vegas the night of October 1, 2017.
Horowitz has no teeth, his I.G. report is a big “what ever.”
Durham can (and has) put fedgov employees in prison.
But if a potential target’s I.G. report testimony varies from what is now being stated under oath by others in the grand jury, he’s in serious jeopardy. Hence their desire to reconcile accounts now.
All they’ve been doing is trash talk and harassment. They are really afraid to open an impeachment investigation because the Republicans can then demand to have their own witnesses and present documents that contradict theirs.
Well, isn't this rich?
The liar McCabe proclaiming it's time to impeach the man he and his co-conspiritors were attempting to falsely remove from office in a traitorous coup.
Looks to me like McCabe is trying to save his own neck from the noose.
You can't make this stuff up and call it fake news.
Terry McAuliff, a close ally of Hillary Clinton, donated $700,000 to Andy’s wife, Jill, for her campaign for senate in VA while Andy was investigating the email server.
Very cozy.
Can’t someone - ANYONE - tell us exactly what the “high crimes and misdemeanors” are that the president is guilty of? Is that too much to ask?
Sounds like he’s looking to CONgress to keep him out of a Fed Penitentiary:-)
Notice how Trump has reinstated the Federal Death Penalty?-)
Suuure - he’s hoping the law doesn’t start looking his way
