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.

Solution For McCabe

  1. File a lawsuit.

  2. Take the administration to court.

  3. Open up the discovery process for the defense so the entire nation can find out what a slimy bastard you really are!

They’ll spin it with lies of course, but NBC and the rest of the corrupt propaganda media can no longer maintain their silence of on the massive corruption within the leadership of the Obama/Mueller/Comey/FBI.

“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,”

Note the verbs: “slander” and “taint.”

They should be: “expose” and “reveal” since that is what is happening.

THAT is the exact visual I have of the Left right now, good post.

That dike is crumbling. It is crumbling. There is such a flood of criminality at ALL levels.

The FB I is in this. The CIA is in this. The Dept of Justic is in this. The Democratic Party is in this. Brennan is in this. Comey is in this. The Clintons are in this. The DNC is in this. The Media is in this.

And Obama is in this.

This was (and still is) a domestic coup, to take down a legally elected President. Done in the open, unashamedly, by powerful people in and out of our government.

Shameful. Shameful.

And who would the star witness be? Why, none other than His Holiness Barack Hussein Obama The Great.
