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.

Beware the narrative and talking points from the deep state MSMpukes!!
Hmmmmm...Interesting. What do they care? It’s the governments money, right? The ENTIRE system is so corrupt that every single piece of it, needs to be taken down and rebuilt, if necessary or tossed on the trash heap of history.
I think what could, and should, be interesting is, if he’s investigated for, lying under oath and the leaking. A lot of places won’t let you retire, with your benefits, if you’re under any investigation for criminal conduct. Not sure if that’s the case with the FBI. That’s why we’ll often see people, whose name pop up in something, quickly file their paperwork before anything official happens, so they can take what they got before it’s taken from them.
So, now we’ll see if he’s willing to “burn down” the FBI, with tales of corruption, lies and dishonesty. What I find amazing is that since all of this has begun, more and more stories have come out about how corrupt the agency is, in normal investigations. If a police department were found to be doing the stuff they’ve done, it would be the FBI locking everyone up. The entire FISC/FISA process needs a very, very thorough audit and cleaning out. This is what they did to an elected candidate for President, who became the President of the United States. What have they done to Joe 6-Pack?
I know a few FBI folks. Before I would have gone to the grave saying that they were as honorable and upstanding as Superman. Now, I’m not so sure. That is one shady agency. And this isn’t something new. This has been going on for a while.
Firing McCabe has absolutely nothing to do with Mueller's investigation -- one way or another.
For him to make this claim is not only ridiculous, but it reinforces the notion that Mueller's investigation has failed so miserably in getting any evidence of illegal Trump-Russia dealings that these idiots want to fabricate an "obstruction" case out of thin air.
These people have spent months turning over stones looking for evidence against Trump, and now that they have no evidence they have to point at Trump and suggest that every inconsequential thing he's done in the course of his daily life was somehow an attempt to "obstruct" their overturning of all those stones which was apparently done unimpeded. LOL.
McCabe will be ‘disappeared’ before anything like that happens. Or meet the same fate as so many before him. He should Google the Clinton Murder List and see all the mysterious ways in which he and his wife could be taken out. Even though he should, he better hope, that he never becomes a convicted felon. He won’t be able to defend himself in the home invasion that is already being planned.
Guess you will have to answer publicly for your actions, dumbass.
THE LEAD STORY - NEWLY UNCOVERED TEXTS RAISE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT FBI, CLINTON INVESTIGATION:
Thousands of newly uncovered text messages between two alleged anti-Trump FBI agents reviewed by Fox News raise new questions about political bias and conflicts of interest within the bureau and about the Hillary Clinton email investigation ...
FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have been under the microscope after it was revealed that the two former members of Robert Mueller's team exchanged a series of anti-Trump texts during the presidential campaign. The newly disclosed texts between Strzok and Page were exchanged on November 4, 2015, the day after Jill McCabe, wife of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, lost a hotly contested Virginia state senate election.
Strzok calls Virginians who ostensibly voted against Jill McCabe, "ignorant hillbillys." (sic) He calls the election outcome "disappointing."
Sen. Ron Johnson, along with the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, is releasing the texts, along with a report entitled, "The Clinton Email Scandal and the FBI's Investigation of It."
In another text exchange, Page writes to Strzok on September 2, 2016 about preparing talking points for FBI Director Comey because, "potus wants to know everything we're doing." Senate investigators tell Fox News this text raises questions about President Obama's personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation. (Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
McCabe says he has Trump damaging info for the Mueller investigation? He’s just telling everyone now?
Laura I. kept saying how respected this guy was. His career was so honorable. Did he make some huge diversion to the dark side recently after this virtuous service to the country?
McCabe is such a dunce. Go ahead, ahole, sue the DOJ and the Feds for your pension. I’m willing to bet you don’t.
They said the same things about James Comey and Webster Hubble.
And I would have got away with it too, if it weren’t for you Deplorables!
Never their own fault. It’s always someone else’s fault. His statement should have read something more like....
Not my fault that I allowed myself to become a political stooge for the Left, the Clinton’s, Comey, Podesta, and Lynch, giving up any integrity and honesty that I ever had, to be involved in criminal activity, bordering on sedition, to manipulate a Presidential election. And when that failed, do everything within my corrupted position to undermine and potentially oust a duly elected President. Because I thought, one day, that if she won, I would be rewarded for all of my nefarious and criminal activities, in some way. But, now that everyone knows how corrupt I am and is learning more and more, how corrupt the FBI and DOJ really are, it’s definitely not my fault.
Actually, Comet Ping Pong does indeed have a basement. His instagram and prior interviews confirm such.
It was only after Alefantis was called out did he claim no basement. Musicians that have played there have even mentioned the basement.
As for pizzagate, I believe it. Child predators are being locked up left and right, in case you haven’t noticed.
Cernovich and Jones are batshit crazy, though.
When McCabe left his office, he threatened the top floor he would burn them down if he didn’t collect his retirement.
In most legal circles, I would think that could be interpreted as extortion.
The only news here is that it took Trump to threaten Sessions for Sessions to finally do his job.
Why hadn’t Sessions fired him or have him charged 6 months ago. It isn’t as if there wasn’t a litany of charges which could have been filed.
Laura Ingraham was nauseating repeating the "McCabe was honorable and respected" BS over and over.
However, someone(and it may have been Laura herself)said that McCabe's biggest mistake was getting involved with the Clintons as everything the Clintons touch turns to crap.
And McCabe, "honorable and respected" and all, turned to crap.
FBI takes on ‘Islamophobia’: White nationalism seen as bigger threat than jihadism Leo Hohmann ^ | 1/26/18 | FR Posted by markomalley
Two Michigan residents attended a BRIDGES meeting hosted by the Detroit office of the FBI recently that left them stunned by the level of Islamist infiltration at the Bureau. BRIDGES is a quarterly FBI outreach program that stands for Building Respect in Diverse Groups to Enhance Sensitivity, whereby the FBI hosts workshops for law enforcement and various immigrant communities.
They’ve been held in Boston, Detroit, Houston and Minneapolis-St. Paul and some city police departments host similar meetings on their own, without the FBI in attendance. According to the FBI website, BRIDGES “brings together members of diverse communities and state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies to discuss issues and concerns within their communities.” In southeastern Michigan, those diverse communities include an array of Islamic migrant enclaves, both Shia and Sunni, as well as Coptic, Chaldean and Assyrian Christians forced to flee their Middle Eastern homelands by the Islamic State and other jihadist groups. The outreaches can sometimes go to bizarre lengths to demonstrate the FBI’s respect for Islam. In St. Paul, for example, the FBI boasted in its Oct. 7, 2014 edition of the Law Enforcement Bulletin that the local police department “hosted its first halal cookout” with the Somali Muslim community.
The Jan. 10 FBI BRIDGES meeting in Michigan serves as a fresh reminder of how the FBI has made a concerted effort to divert the eyes of law enforcement away from Muslim communities as potential breeding grounds for terror and refocus attention on “Islamophobic” American citizens. The meeting, held at the Troy Police and Fire Training Center in Oakland County, an affluent suburb of Detroit, was described as “painful to watch” by two guests who attended. Dick Manasseri, an activist with Secure Michigan and a resident of Oakland County, gained entry to the meeting by way of a guest invitation from the American Middle Eastern Christian Congress, a regular attendee. But he said he heard nothing about the plight of persecuted Middle Eastern Christians now living in Oakland County. Instead, almost the entire hour-and-a-half meeting was spent focusing on Islamic religious and cultural practices and trying to debunk any derogatory information police officers may have received about Islamic ideology.
The FBI’s point person for this task was Bushra Alawie, a young female Muslim wearing a full head covering, or hijab. Alawie served in the Army National Guard and upon leaving the Guard in September 2016 the FBI hired her to be its “community outreach specialist” in Detroit. The mother of four spoke confidently and without any trace of an accent during her presentation on Islamic “cultural education.” “I get that initial look like, ‘is that really Bushra’ because of my visibly Muslim attire,” she told Detroit’s WXYZ-TV in 2016. “Immediately those rumors are dispelled and it’s business as usual.” Alawie admitted in the WXYZ interview that her real mission at the FBI is not to ferret out tips and information useful in the apprehension of terrorists but rather it is to “combat Islamophobia.”
That just happens to be the same exact mission of the Muslim Brotherhood-offshoot Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has an entire division called the Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia. And while he did not attend the January meeting, CAIR’s Michigan chapter head, Dawud Walid, has a standing invitation to the FBI’s quarterly BRIDGES meetings in metro Detroit. Also on the FBI’s invite list is CAIR’s former Michigan chapter leader, Muthanna Al-Hanooti, who was convicted in 2011 of conspiring to work for a foreign government, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, and making false statements to the same FBI. Yes, that would be the same FBI which now courts him as a guest at its Detroit-area outreach meetings.
WATCH VIDEO AT WEB SITE : Meet Bushra Alawie, a Muslim woman working for the FBI
About that phrase “Allahu Akbar,” so frequently shouted during the commission of Islamic terrorist attacks, Alawie assured the police officers in attendance not to worry or give it a second thought. According to her, “Allahu Akbar”:
<><>Is said by Muslims 85 times a day
<><>Was said by Jews and Christians before Islam began
<><>Would be used to celebrate the birth of a child or in the prayer of a sick person
<><>Is perfectly normal and not particularly associated with violent jihad.
She explained that “jihad” means: An inner struggle – for her to “not eat cheesecake” Higher jihad – inner struggle Lower Jihad – to defend one’s property.
She mentioned that “Jihad” was even a name taken by Christian men on occasion and that there was an FBI employee of Palestinian descent whose name was Jihad. According to Alawie, if we Americans understand these subtleties, then we will be well on our way to wiping out Islamophobia. Where did the impetus for this FBI focus on Islamophobia come from?
It certainly did not originate in Oakland County, Michigan, or even Washington. It’s international in scope. “Combating Islamophobia” has been a top priority, since at least 2005, of the United Nations and the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a 57-nation group of Muslim-majority nations that makes up the largest voting bloc at the U.N.
The OIC adopted its 10-year Strategic Action Plan to Overcome Islamophobia in 2005, calling for nations to pass new laws “including deterrent punishments” for those guilty of Islamophobia. This crime was described as any speech that counters the OIC’s statement that “Islam is the religion of moderation and tolerance.”
This 10-year plan served as the basis for the 2011 U.N. Human Rights Resolution 16/18, which encourages every nation in the world to adopt hate-speech laws making “defamation of religion” a crime. There is only one religion, however, that seeks to punish people for speech deemed offensive to its members – Islam. Many nations in Western Europe, including the UK, Germany and Sweden obliged, as did Canada, and passed hate-speech laws geared toward punishing these vile Islamophobes. It was also around this same time frame – 2010 to 2012 – that lesson plans in public schools across the United States started incorporating large sections on Islam, emphasizing it as a religion of peace and tolerance. Any teacher who resisted was an Islamophobe.
In 2013 the OIC opened an office in Brussels explicitly for the purpose of combating Islamophobia in Europe.In February 2017 U.N. Secretary General Antonio Gutteres cited “Islamophobia” as the fuel that has ignited the rise of global terrorism. This U.N. focus on Islamophobia came during the peak offensives of ISIS, al-Nusra and other jihadist groups conducting a genocide against Christian minorities in Iraq and Syria – exposing the global body’s agenda as more concerned about speech deemed offensive to Muslims than beheadings, rapes and mass-murdering of Christians.
Philip Haney, a former Customs and Border Protection officer who became a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 and a member of the Advanced Targeting Team before retiring in July 2015, said the FBI did not get to the point of rolling out Bushra Alawie overnight. When Haney tried to blow the whistle on Homeland Security ineptitude, he found himself the target of repeated investigations and harassment. A critical data template he developed to catch terrorists before they strike was erased from the DHS computer system. He was an Islamophobe.
Haney believes the term “Islamophobia” was created by the global Islamic movement to set up a watered-down version of the blasphemy laws that terrorize Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East. Instead of a stern-looking mullah or sheikh enforcing the blasphemy laws under penalty of death, the Muslims in the West use people like Bushra Alawie, who deliver the same warning with a smile, under penalty of losing one’s reputation and career.
“She wouldn’t have been given that platform under the old rules,” Haney said. “These concessions to Islam have been developing for a long time, and the fact that someone like her would be endorsed by the FBI and given that platform, it would never have happened without all those previous developments at the OIC, U.N., and the fervent work of Obama holdovers in the FBI.”
Scrubbing FBI training manuals One of the more crucial developments came in 2011 – the same year the U.N. adopted Resolution 16/18. That’s when more than 50 Muslim organizations, many with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, sent a letter to Obama’s then-deputy national security adviser John Brennan demanding he remove from FBI training manuals all references to Islam deemed offensive to Muslims. They also requested that the FBI and DHS rid themselves of all “biased experts” – people like Haney – and “immediately create an inter-agency task force to address the problem.”
Brennan and then-FBI chief Robert Mueller fell over like a stack of dominos. They immediately scrubbed the training manuals and began purging federal agencies of patriots with expert knowledge of Islamist ideology. Instead of true terrorism experts, police would receive training from people like Bushra Alawie, the smooth-talking, hijab-wearing Muslim apologist with the contagious smile. Since most local police chiefs get training from the FBI Academy, the same drivel that now passes for counter-terrorist instruction at the Bureau gets filtered down to police departments nationwide. But Trump is rectifying all of this right? Unfortunately, no. All of the Muslim infiltrations of the government remain in place. Hiring a woman like Alawie to present an unrealistic view of Islam is the new normal at the FBI.
Other highlights from the BRIDGES meeting: Troy Mayor Dane Slater welcomed the meeting attendees to the “most diverse city in Michigan.” Troy Police Chief Gary Mayer, along with four of his senior officers, welcomed their federal counterparts from the FBI and witnessed the guidance provided by the FBI regarding the “normalcy of Allahu Akbar” and ”the benevolent jihad.” Praise was offered for the Obama-appointed former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade who was fired by Trump. Examples offered of domestic terrorism repeatedly focused on white supremacist groups, who are seen as more dangerous than Islamic terrorism according to the teaching of the previous administration and the United Nations-endorsed Strong Cities Network. The FBI’s special agent in charge of Detroit said there remains no clear motive for the Las Vegas massacre. Mental health was injected as an explanation for violent activity per the Muslim Brotherhood playbook. Celebration of the long-standing civil rights partnership between the FBI and the Muslim community was marked with recognition awards. “Everything was about welcoming, welcoming, welcoming,” Manasseri said. “It was terribly discouraging, including when they talked about domestic terrorism and they kept coming back to white supremacism and how do you protect us from white nationalism? Stunning.” To counter the false and incomplete training being given by the FBI, Manasseri has co-founded a project called Sharia Crime Stoppers in partnership with a retired police chief.
“The Muslim Brotherhood-managed FBI and its pandering to Islam at 60-plus BRIDGES meetings since the 9/11 terrorist attacks provides ample evidence that Michigan is already living under Sharia, even while it contemplates the candidacy of Sharia-compliant and Muslim Brotherhood-groomed candidate Abdul El-Sayed for governor,” Manasseri said.
El-Sayed is running on the Democratic ticket in Michigan’s 2018 gubernatorial race. CAIR’s Dawud Walid has already said, in an article for the Detroit News, that any questions to Muslim candidates about Sharia law are off limits. For any journalist or concerned citizen to ask such a question would be Islamophobic.
I’d heard that it was all because someone, maybe Felt, didn’t get a promotion that they thought they deserved and in turn, went running to those two.
McCabe should be drug to the tower and decapitated.
So long as he is alive, he will be an American enemy.
Kinda early to be drinking (even on St. Pats), isn't it?
