Former Top FBI Official Andrew McCabe, Who Sparred With Trump, Is Joining CNN As A Contributor
CNBC ^ | 08/23/19

Posted on 08/23/2019 7:14:09 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who became one of President Donald Trump’s top enemies within his own administration, is joining CNN as a contributor, a network spokesperson said. His first day is Friday.

McCabe spent two decades in the FBI before he was fired in March of 2018 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions just more than 24 hours before his planned retirement.

 

The CNN gig comes as McCabe is fighting that termination in court. Earlier this month, McCabe filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court alleging that his removal was part of a scheme by the president to remove government employees “because they were not politically loyal to him.”

McCabe’s hiring was reported earlier by CNN’s senior media reporter Oliver Darcy.

That ought to increase CNN’s dwindling viewership.

Instead of being drained The Swamp keeps repopulating itself. I don’t think we’ll ever see justice done to these people. Trump is just a band-aid. When he leaves office The Swamp infection will break out even more, never to be delayed or stopped ever again!

So media moguls hire former psy-ops agents of the government who conspire to spread false stories to gain status, power, and wealth?

You guys might really want to rethink that.

CNN....why am I not surprised.

Go back to the Comey memos. The President asked about McCabe. Comey said "you'll like him" and more....but I forgot.

My gut says the President already knew the backstory on McCabe and Flynn. I think Comey's memos reveal the "collusion" between Comey and McCabe.

Agree about their dwindling viewership. Their Trump bashing (with no examples of racist, misogynist and whatever else language) has already affected their credibility. Instead of trying to mitigate that problem, the MSM just make it worse. People relying on those news sources may well become as irrational and paranoid as the MSM.

I saw a chain gang one time. In summer, too.

McCabe on a chain gang. I like this idea.

A good and benevolent dictator would not allow former big government officials to have any employee-employer role with any public media company. /only part sarcasm

Interviewed, yes, part of the company, no.

No prison time, he’ll still get his pension, and the left will pad his retirement with gigs on CNN and maybe even a book deal.

Must be nice to be part of the deep state ruling class.

So he's joining Brennan and Clapper to complete the 3 musketeers who attempted to overthrow our government. Now that's a credible news source.
