Soon after speaking to President Trump about the firing of his boss James Comey, Andrew McCabe, who became the bureau's acting director, began obstruction of justice and counterintelligence investigations involving the president and his ties to Russia. In his first television interview since his own firing, McCabe tells 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley he wanted those inquiries to be documented and underway so they would be difficult to quash without raising scrutiny.
"I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground, in an indelible fashion," McCabe tells Pelley in the interview. "That were I removed quickly, or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace."
The interview with the veteran FBI agent who rose to acting director of the bureau will be broadcast on 60 Minutes, Sunday, February 17 at 7:00 p.m., ET/PT on CBS.
"I wanted to make sure that our case was on solid ground and if somebody came in behind me and closed it and tried to walk away from it, they would not be able to do that without creating a record of why they made that decision," McCabe said.
The White House responded to the opening of that investigation, calling it a "completely baseless investigation."

the fact that a Grand Jury was called up under false pretenses makes it a double crime
We don’t have enough prison beds for all those wrapped up in this.
I say give the POS a fair trial, and then put him in front of a firing squad.
Trump might have considered Christie for AG instead of Sessions
A 5-PM interview on The Howie Carr Show had former DoJ Atty DiGenova saying this WAS a confession.
With his big book "advance", retention of his pension, and his wife's ill-gotten cash, he has done pretty well for a crook.
Put down the bottle, ok?
Lock him in a cell with the Hildebeast?
If you think that one has to drink in order to think folks like McCabe can think that way... well, okay I guess.
True it is... That boy needs to be in the slammer.!
To bad we don't have a real "Department Of Justice" anymore...
It sounded like you were waving the pom-poms in an orgy of defeatist glee.
Macabe is drawing his pension, just not as much as he would have had prior to his being fired.
I watched a few minutes of the interview and “thought” I saw a little fear in the man’s face.
I hope so because he definitely is a liar. The Dems engineered a 700k bribe to his wife to shut him up!
And, a guy named Seth Rich was murdered. I’d be scared too.
Last week,after news of McCabe’s crimes were publicized,Joe DiGenova was on a local Boston talk show and told the host,Howie Carr,that McCabe,Comey and others will eventually be measured for orange jumpsuits.
Like lead poisoning
yeah he completely made up ALL the russian crap to cya...
I can see if one is planning a possible coup thatyou’d b very much against waterboarding.
In 2009, [McCabe] served as the first director of the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, a program to research interrogation techniques that was created after the Department of Defense Directive 2310 ban of waterboarding and other interrogation techniques.-—wikidipia
