McCabe says he ordered the obstruction of justice probe of President Trump
CBS News ^ | February 14, 2019 | Scott Pelley

Posted on 02/14/2019 6:08:52 AM PST by BurgessKoch

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."

McCabe is a lying dead soul demon rat. There was NEVER a crime upon which FISA apps could ride. The entire treason was begun as a political search and destroy, and McCabe knows it and See BS knows it, so they spew more lies into the public arena, like the ‘good’ little demons they are.

More like he is setting a platform to run for president. He certainly has no fears of prosecution and with full media support and a guaranteed 48% of the the legal vote... who knows. Jam thousands more illegals to vote into the swing states and we can welcome president McCabe.

Weasel words to make it sound like he was doing the right thing, but in reality it was all based, like FISA on false info.

Forgotten in all of this is Hillary commenting to Trump during debates about Russia connection.

That was all scripted to put this in place as part of the “ Insurance policy”

When you watch this notice how she is reading all of this . This was all planned ahead of time to reinforce the narrative.

McCabe has admitted that the FBI has become a political tool of the Democrat Party who are willing to destroy the political enemies of the Democrats without bothering to find any evidence of a crime. This behavior is what can be found in the old Soviet Union, Uganda, Sadaam’s Iraq, Chile, Cuba, North Korea, etc. And our elected Representatives cannot find a way to act.

The absolute brazenness of McCabe to admit that he was directing a coup against the President of the United States of America is mind-boggling. They were all in cahoots. Rosenstein needs to be prosecuted as well as Comey, Clapper, Brennan, et. al., along with Obama and his officials like Powers, Lynch, Rice, etc.. Totally outrageous.

Remember that it was McCabe's wife who received $750K from the Virginia Democrat party headed by McAuliffe.

The troublesome issue here is how somebody like McCabe can rise through the FBI ranks to become Deputy Director. Their system of Personnel Evaluations needs to be reviewed.

Not for me. The “troublesome issue” is that the GOP is just fine with this Democrat criminality. We literally have no opposition party to the progressive corportist agenda.

Why dont we see a national movement akin to the $15/hour minimum wage that interviews one fired person after another and holds their incompetent world view and reasons for lack of employment as justification for the treason they committed against their employer and why they dont work there anymore at any price?

The seriousness of the charge, no doubt.

Of course he did this without any input from the President at the time. All on his own he decided to investigate a incoming President.
