McCabe likened conservatives to members of the Islamic Caliphate: “I can tell you from my perspective of spending a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and Islamic extremist and extremists of all stripes… is that this group shares many of the same characteristics of those groups that we’ve seen radicalized along entirely different ideological lines,” he said.

McCabe went on to describe the rise of the Islamic caliphate in Syria and how Islamic extremists were radicalized across socioeconomic, educational, and racial lines, likening it to the “mass radicalization” of the political across demographics. That’s right, according to McCabe a grandma who shares a Federalist article on Facebook and your uncle with a “Let’s Go Brandon” coffee mug are in the same category as a jihadist who killed 49 people at an Orlando nightclub.

McCabe also argued that parents who have disputes with local school boards represented national security risks. I don't agree with Hannity that the problems at the FBI are a few rotton apples 'at the top.' I think the FBI is rotten to the core and needs to be disbanded.

Just keep talking.

Rue the day.

McCabe just told us how he got to the top of the FBI: blaming other people for what he is himself.

[Sirius Lee]

This is why I have to laugh at RINO pukes like kasich, kinzinger, cheney, etc... They think the pogrom against non-hardcore-leftists will cease once they kill off the 80 million Trump supporters and will just leave them alone to do gigs on NPR as token non-leftists.

The purge won't end with the Conservative base.

[1Old Pro]

Absolutely frightening this guy had any position of responsibility or power.

[JimRed]

They may force us to become what they accuse us of, in self-defense.

Now let's not be too hasty. It's the 98% that make the other 2% look bad...

This is what happens when criminals go unpunished….they get more brazen.

[Nextrush]

The FBI have been the political police for too long and this goes back to the 1960’s when MLK was seen as a threat to JFK’s chances of re-election in 1964.

What’s happening today has happened before except its right out in the open with the term “domestic terrorist” being bandied about.

Why is this asshole still stealing our oxygen?

Andrew McCabe Calls for FBI to Treat Mainstream Conservatives as Domestic Terrorists

That's been FIB/BATF policy since the middle 1980s. Nothing new here.

[wardaddy]

Hannity is tone deaf

[RinaseaofDs]

In other words, they want to make it official policy now. It’s been unofficial policy for 30 years.

[one guy in new jersey]

Guilty as hell, free as a bird.

All he had to do was ask Obama, Brennan and McCain about that. He could have a front-row seat.

[EBH]

I said this was going to happen.

[chopperk]

Bring it on you socialist.

[shadowlands1960]

Guilty as hell, free as a bird.


He also had his FBI pension returned... so no consequences for him at all....

[skeeter]

Hannity unthinkingly repeats the obligatory statements about supporting rank & file fed LEOs without considering the more recent revelations concerning FBI field agents’ behavior.

Any public employee drawing their salary from the public till has become suspect.

[Little Ray]

Y’know, McCabe would not surveil Leftists like Antifa, racists like BLM, or religious extremists like Moslems, but he sure wants to to put patriots in their place.
