McCabe: Trump wants to destroy me to stop Mueller probe

Former top FBI official Andrew McCabe, who was fired late Friday night by Attorney General Jeff Sessions two days before becoming eligible for full pension benefits, said in an extraordinary statement that he was targeted because President Donald Trump wants to destroy him as part of his "war" against special counsel Robert Mueller.

"This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement and intelligence professionals more generally," McCabe said in a statement released shortly after Sessions announced his decision. "It is part of this administration's ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the special counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the special counsel's work."

The statement was the first time McCabe had spoken candidly of his anger at the Trump White House. In it, he painted a remarkable picture of an administration that tried to politicize its principal law enforcement arm, the FBI, and discredit several of the bureau's longtime leaders, all in an effort to escape scrutiny of Trump by the special counsel.

McCabe noted in his statement that he had knowledge that could be useful to Mueller's investigation into events involving the president.

"Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of (FBI director) James Comey," McCabe said.

Trump's dismissal of Comey and events surrounding it are reported to be a key aspect of Mueller's investigation into the president.

I think the date (January 2017) is incorrect, as it refers to the 2016 election. Pretty sure that text was sent in October 2016 (maybe September?).

Familiarize yourself with the name Laura Silsby, swamp critter. You could do with a bit of Abel Danger research, too. https://disobedientmedia.com/2017/01/the-clinton-silsby-trafficking-scandal-and-how-the-media-covered-it-up/

That’s exactly how he comes across.

McCabe’s theme song is the Back Street Boys “Hanging Tough”.

Nothing but a big p_ssy poser.

“General Flynn, God willing, could end up a very rich man if he sues. Carter Page is suing several bottom-feeders.”

Hopefully so, but how does he restore his good name that was taken from him, and how do you compensate us all for not having been able to have him serve the President? He can buy another home, but he can’t purchase back the time he’s lost and the indignation he’s suffered.
I do hope though, the Mueller and Rosenschmeckel get their turn in the same “legal box,” along with McCabe, Strozok, Page, Brennan, Crapper, Power, et.al!

Get the slut to flip.

Have you noticed how many of the players in this scandal are husband and wife teams?

Who is the spouse of Rudy Contreras?
Where does the spouse (gender neutral) work?

" McCabe et al are guilty of conspiracy to overthrow the government and to obstruct governance all other charges aside, the conspiracy is evident on the face and goes deep into the treasonous cabal established at the top."

Spot on. Sessions is almost useless when it comes to this. I congratulate him for firing McCabe, but doubt he was enthusiastic about it. The calls from Congress for him to resign would have went up by 10x if he didn't.

I am hoping there is a storm coming, but if it does it won't be because of Sessions. It will be in spite of Sessions. It will take a 2nd Special Counsel.

An interesting aside to all this is the discovery of Adrian Lamo's body in his Wichita apartment. Authorities said"...nothing suspicious about his death." Lamo is the hacker who rolled on Chelsea Manning. Age 37.

His body was found two days prior to McCabe's firing. Struck me as odd. But then so did the death of Seth Rich. Vince Foster. And of course Ron Brown. etal.

Is that a real picture of Podesta or photoshopped?!

I’ve never seen that before. Creepy beyond measure if true.

Miss seeing you around. Life, there’s always something waiting to spring. Good to hear you are able to sleep. Most important, getting good rest! Take care :-)

" You protect the rape, murder and organ removal of thousands of children ... AND THE SYSTEMATIC COVERUP of same,"

Strong personal attack and slanderous charges on this public board. Care to back that up?

Abuse button hit.

Hey McCabe, America wants to destroy you. Go suck-start a shotgun.

Lighten up Francis....geeze

Interesting.

McCabe should have been fired months ago. Then he wouldn’t have excuses. Instead, sessions waited for months while all the evidence was scrubbed and then fired him. He hasn’t been charged with any crime as yet. Looks like another Republican whitewash because they have no balls.

May it be so.

“In 1994, Contreras was hired by Eric Holder Jr., then the U.S. attorney for D.C.”

I noticed some MSMedia have articles with titles identifying McCabe as Trump’s tip of the spear at the FBI, then writing the article to imply McCabe had been watching Trump’s back.

It’s incredible how they will spin events.
