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."

“And our elected Representatives cannot find a way to act.”
Oh, they can find the way to act, they simply do not have the courage to do so. Pretty disgusting!
And where was Jeff Sessions, the boss of all of them, when all this plotting was going on?
Is this what we want out of our DOJ, being so obsessed with getting their desired political outcomes that they will rig investigations on both sides (one side favorably, the other unfavorably) and attempt to outright have the POTUS removed?
Yet Trump is hamstrung because GOPe jerks like Lindsay Graham (yes, in spite of his recent behavior, he still is doing this) keep saying if he acts in any way against the FBI or DOJ to clean house, they will investigate him themselves.
Trump was our last hope but I'm beginning to fear he waited too long to get involved.
“Remember that it was McCabe’s wife who received $750K from the Virginia Democrat party headed by McAuliffe.”
And thusly here would be a good point for Rush and Chatsworth to point out that mcharelip knew about Goobenor Northam’s blackface photo all along, AND also provided Northam with info on lt gov Fackedup sexcapades. Then tie that into McCabe family — close personal friends with mcharelip.
Must also note McCabe clearly one of those guys who wants to be caught, because he may very well be the dumbest of the FIBbers who couldn’t shoot straight.
BTTT
Yep. I have never lied to any employer. Where did it get me? Laid off in government with 16 years of service. Then again, who would want to work for an employer, The State of Arizona, like that?
Luckily for me I have a rich mother who will now to be able to leave a generous inheritance thanks to Trump. A mother who was glad I was laid off because she knew The State of Arizona was one of the worst employers anyone would want to be employed by.
BTTT
Now we know that the talk of a coup is not hyperbole at all.
Right. Services rendered.
Pure, USDA-inspected, Grade A bullshit! The ONLY “evidence” that there was any collusion of any nature was a so-called dossier that he knew was complete fiction.
Wefe we at another time in the past, this mother trucker would be drawn and quartered
What a complete imbecilic A-hole.
“Just cuz”
McCabe is a giant liar. His motives were not as he said they were. They are a liars ruse.
He was part of the Clintonista cabal pushing the hoax of the Steel Dossier from day one. It was part of the Dim’s “insurance policy”. They knew the claims in the Steel Dossier were more flimsy than a wet noodle, but THAT did not matter, because the Dim’s know THEIR media, where what’s important is the severity of the claim, not the veracity of any evidence. Mc Cabe KNEW ALL THAT and was trying to PROTECT the hoax he was part of starting. Mueller, the deep state’s most procedureally corrupt persecutor was hand picked for the major political role of his life - making a silk purse out of sows ear, figuratively speaking.
What would Roosevelt do? Either one. Nevermind any of the founders or Andrew Jackson.
1. McCabe admits to ordering the investigation.
2. The investigation has been proven to be meritless and baseless. False information was used to launch the investigation with foreknowledge.
3. The reason for launching the investigation was not a result of ignorance of policy, procedures or law.
4. Therefore, the investigation was nothing less than sedition and treason against a duly elected president.
5. These people must be tried outside the DOJ because the DOJ has been corrupted and was complicit in the conspiracy against the president, and lacks credibility. Adjudication needs to be in military tribunals. We should expect a trials, convictions, and death sentences for sedition and treason.
Most of the plotting occurred from early 2016 on, before he was nominated. Hillary was doing the Russia, Russia dance before the election.
No Shiite
I no longer consider the FBI rank and file to be good and honest men.
This is their leadership and it stands to reason, this kind of dishonesty is deeply pervasive.
It will take a generation to repair their image...
More to come....
Sometime....
Yeah, here it comes....
Oh, wait....
Let’s start over......
Remember Susan Rice’s CYA memo about the January 2017 pre-inauguration meting with Obama : “by the book.”
All this BS was orchestrated at far higher levels than Andy McCabe.
Bingo...
