Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe accused President Trump of acting like a mob boss and releasing a “strain of insanity,” according to a copy of his new book obtained by The Guardian.
McCabe alleges in the book that Trump and White House Counsel Don McGahn offered him protection in exchange for loyalty.
“The president and his men were trying to work me the way a criminal brigade would operate,” he wrote.
McCabe became acting FBI director after Trump fired James Comey. He also said in the book, "The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump," that Trump directed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to write a memo to justify the firing.
Rosenstein and the White House both publicly deny that Rosenstein was directed to write the memo, but, according to McCabe, Rosenstein privately said that Trump ordered him to write it.
“He said it wasn’t his idea. The president had ordered him to write the memo justifying the firing,” McCabe wrote.
Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe last year after Justice Department inspector general report found that he lied about media disclosures. He denied the allegation.
The book is expected to go on sale this month.
McCabe: Rosenstein wrote Comey memo under duress
The White House directed the firing of former FBI Director James Comey in a manner that left Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein "shaken" over his role in justifying Comey's ouster, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe claims in his new book.
In "The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump," McCabe reportedly writes that Rosenstein was deeply uncomfortable with Comey's firing, telling him at the time that writing the memo "wasn't his idea," according to excerpts obtained by The Guardian.
“He said it wasn’t his idea. The president had ordered him to write the memo justifying the firing,” McCabe writes.
In his book, McCabe quotes Rosenstein as saying, "There’s no one here that I can trust," according to The Guardian.
Amazing how many left wing activists we have running our intelligence services.
Kind of funny to hear him make a comment like that when we know that one of The One’s favourite movies is apparently The Godfather.
I thought he was referred for prosecution?
Which explains why we remain so vulnerable to our enemies!
All of these guys have offshore bank accounts which have been steadily growing.
“McCabe accuses Trump of acting like mob boss in new book”
That’s rich coming from a made man/capo of the Obama/Clinton crime famiglia.
HAHAHAHAHA seriously..this from a bunch of clowns who orchestrated a plan in case their messiah Hillary lost the election
The picture doesn’t mention the you pay or we slay branch.
I am Spartacus, oops, Deplorable:-)
If President Trump was acting like a mafia boss, Chuck Schumer would have disappeared without a trace a long time ago.
And the problem is?..........................
I would rather be a mob boss than a traitor!
Old “sour grapes” McCabe ought to just shut his commie pie hole and be thankful he’s not locked up in some far, far away cell somewhere with the key thrown away, or even better yet, being waterboarded at GITMO to get the real truth.
If Trump were action like a mob boss, there would be a lot of recent bodies buried in New Jersey landfills.
I’ve been watching Sopranos this week while doing tax work.
President Trump ain’t no Tony Soprano.
All of these guys have offshore bank accounts which have been steadily growing.
