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.

Something is very wrong in America.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was glaringly obvious when BOTH parties ignored the Constitution and allowed a Kenyan/British subject to be sworn in as President in direct violation of the Constitution.

What would make this positive is an army of US agents surrounding the CNN building and then going in and handcuffing McCabe while he is on air and charging him with a list of charges including sedition.

That would be the biggest moment of justice in this American century.

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.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

bringing mccabe to a safe landing in the CNN nest just validates the network’s link as the DS/C_A preferred mouthpiece.

suppose CNN will set mccabe up in an office next to clapper?

I met a CNN production engineering crew in 1992 on an interstate gas roadstop. I asked “why did their vans and trucks have U.S. Government tags?” The guy laughed and said I answered my own question with my question!

To date the DOJ has been proven to be corrupt. I am waiting impatiently for indictments but am seeing NADA!

Well to be honest when Donna Brazile got a gig at Fox the same could be said. It’s pretty much the whole media complex now.

I agree. I could see FOX News hiring McCabe now. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Isn’t McCabe in some danger of being indicted for conspiracy against the US Constitution and a duly elected President of the USA?

Sueing the FBI and taking a job with CNN?

It's as if McCabe thinks he'll skate away scot-free.

He was never going to be prosecuted, so why not hire him. The Deep State does not prosecute their own. Witness FBI Director Wray continuing the coverup started by his predecessor. If the FBI were to get the sunshine treatment most of management would probably be in court under indictment. The “worlds premier law enforcement agency” reduced to one cover up after another and the credibility of a backwoods, corrupt sheriffs department right out of a bad movie. Atta boy Wray!

Forget Google. Put your focus on ATT

CNN is ATT, and you’re paying for CNN if you’re an ATT subscriber
