McCabe: Trump wants to destroy me to stop Mueller probe
NBC News ^ | 16 Mar 18 | Gregg Birnbaum

Posted on 03/17/2018 4:21:36 AM PDT by SkyPilot

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.

And just think, these are the types of people placed in key leadership roles to run our government agencies tasked with enforcement. Sobering view into the swamp.

McCabe is vindicating Sessions’ termination of McCabe.

Those that protect McCabe, Hasan, and the Clinton TREASON
and the Pizzagate coverup deserve more than jail.

Mueller even BREATHING the words "Russian" and "collusion" is nothing more than trying to find SOMETHING against our President.

Go after Vanessa, you frikkin' freak, THERE'S your glorious scandal.

I firmly believe God is and will protect President Trump.

President Trump is unraveling a hundred years of carefully planned and developed knitting designed to destroy the nation God put His hand on in the 1700's.

Sooooo, the fact that you lied under oath to protect your puppet masters, means that the President is out to get you and impugn the FBI. An agency that he has said, repeatedly, is a good and honorable agency except for it’s corrupt leadership.

More importantly, the FBIs own, Office of Professional Responsibility, the FBI’s version of Internal Affairs, recommends that you be fired for, among other things, not being forthcoming-authorizing leaks-supervising the leaking of confidential information. And that is just what we know about. I would imagine that McCabe strutted the halls of FBI headquarters like he owned the place, thinking that he was untouchable because of his relationship with Comey and the rest. Other employees probably avoided him like the plague, unless they were like that suck-up, trying to ride some coattails. Being accused of sexual harassment, ruining the female agents career and then going after Gen Flynn because he stuck up for her, yeah, you’re a real honorable man.

Nothing but a POS.

McCabe said “if I go down i’m taking everyone else down with me.” The child-molester looking creep Eric Swalwell says the ‘Rats are coming for the President and Trump WILL go down.” And of course the Media is outraged comparing the firing to the “Saturday Night Massacre.”

Civil War II is getting hotter by the minute.

Well now, look at this!

There was a method in media madness.

Since they did not report on any of this, they can claim all the news with their own spin, because they, who depend on so-called mainstream media, have heard NOTHING about the truth of what is happening.

Wonder how many meetings, dinners, cocktail parties it took to come up with this scheme.

Sorry Andy, you’re not being singled out. You are the first of many such un-American vermin who are being smoked out of your holes and being destroyed.

The evidence of serial malfeasance and criminality is legion. Your next home will feature concrete walls and a thick steel door.

The Dan Bongino Show on ITunes is probably the best compendium of the depth of evil McCabe, Page,. The FISA Judge Rudolf something, Alexander Downer, Mueller, Steele, Rice, Jarrett, Clinton, Obama and others have sunken into as they weaponized FBI and many other areas of the Federal Government to assure Clinton’s election.

“Trump wants to destroy me to stop Mueller probe”. How predictable. The Mueller probe is totally political. It’s purpose is to obstruct a duly elected POTUS from doing his job.

"Cover for action" is part of a spy's tradecraft vocabulary, it's the outwardly innocent or plausible reason for being somewhere and doing something illegal that could cause suspicion to fall on the spy. Strzok's use of CFA is proof that he knew he was acting illegally.

No, asshat, it's because you LIED to FBI investigators, a FELONY which should land you in Prison. Sessions didn't say it, Trump didn't say it, the Office of Professional Responsibility of the FBI said it.

I hope you and Rufus have a great 5 to 10 year honeymoon in your 8x12 suite at Club Fed. Oh, and if you ever want to hear the sound of your own farts again you might want to buy some beans and a recorder now....

This was delayed too long.

How many children have been raped, sold,
and murdered for their organs by this delay?
And Parkland(s), engineered by these bastards.

Sessions couldn’t have timed the firing this corrupt piece of lawyer dung any better. McCabe was expected to retire this Sunday, his 50th birthday, when he would have become eligible for full retirement benefits. Sessions’ decision to fire McCabe, who briefly served as the interim director of the FBI, will likely severely limit those benefits. McCabe needs 20 years of cage time to follow.
