There's a reason federal agencies used to stay out of politics, but it appears the Obama generation never thought it meant them.
Now we get Andrew McCabe, the fired former FBI deputy director, attempting to whip up sympathy in the press for FBI agents who have turned that agency into the internal security apparatus of the Democrat party.
According to Breitbart News:
CNN analyst and former FBI chief Andrew McCabe said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source” that people in the intelligence and law enforcement community were worried if former President Donald Trump is elected again, they would be “thrown in jail or grabbed in some sort of extra judicial detention.”
McCabe said, “When you think about these things and you try to predict how Donald Trump is going to react are the steps he’s going to take you really don’t have to go any further than listening to the things he says and does his, comments recently are offensive and horrendous, but they’re not a surprising in any way. He’s been saying this for quite some time. I will be your retribution is referring to is supporters. So, you know him, you know, what motivates him. He is not a person who’s driven by principle or ideology. He is someone who’s entirely transactional.”
He continued, “If he feels like he’s been wronged in some way, then he focuses on revenge and then in vengeance. He’s made it perfectly clear that that’s what he’s gonna do. In the process of seeking that he run the risk of dismantling or greatly incapacitating the Department of Justice and the FBI. That is something that Americans on both sides of the political aisle should be worried about. We depend on those institutions to protect us.”
Blah, blah, blah.
Oh, spare us.

Up until a few years ago, the FBI used to be a studiously non-political organization. Now they're the willing storm troopers of every instance of legal overreach instituted by Democrats in search of political enemies to punish, draconianly, of course. This is and should be illegal.
To the extent that they have been caught in legal malfeasance, particularly of the politicized kind, they've walked away with slaps on the wrist if not complete impunity. Start with McCabe himself, who got fired for leaking to the press, which he knew he was not supposed to do, but did anyway. His subsequent lawsuit restored his full pension and he's now living high on the hog. Who says crime doesn't pay?
They should. There are many of them that deserve arrest for their actions in this era.
If they have done nothing wrong, what is their worry?
hrmph, singing, Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time... no, no, no, no. don’t do it.
but... “if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about”.... if they are fearful, perhaps they should be
President Trump won’t seek vengeance or a purge.
To many it will be righteous retribution.
Hopefully served very cold.

Those that cannot be convicted should be transferred to Guam, American Samoa, Wake island and the Aleutians.
Now it finally dawns on you, McCabe, that when you go the authoritarian route with other people it might come back to haunt you.
That is what I call being bothered by a GUILTY CONSCIOUS!!
Alas, the statute of limitations has run. 18 USC Sec. 3282. Thanks, “Bull” Durham! A whole mess of people were on the hook for seditious conspiracy and quite a number for perjury, including McCabe and Comey for signing the FISA warrant applications. This seditious POS is just posturing.
Justice would be no-knock raids on their homes at 0600 and whatever comes next as the just shoot in self-defense. To hear them sob and soil themselves as the SS did would be so satisfying.
I guess we can still dream, can't we?
Another tactic. They know perfectly well that a republican DOJ is not going to do a d*** thing to them.
Jail? No. Just fire 100 or so of them. Offer them their resignation if they know they’re guilty otherwise they can lawyer up.
Just do like they did in New Yawk.
Extend the Statute of Limitations, just for them like they did Trump. What’s good for the goose.................
👍👍👍👍👍
My sentiments exactly. You can't be prosecuted if you don't break the law right? Certainly can't be jailed for following the law to the best of your ability ...right?
We just want the rule of law after all. If they didn’t break the law they should be fine.
If you didn’t break the law, you have nothing to worry about. Isn’t that what they always say?
I hope alot of them are presecuted.
The problem is the left wing hack DC courts.
If they are going after people, they need to figure out how to do it in Texas or Florida...or some red state...and keep it out of DC.
