Report: Andrew McCabe Targeted Trump After Comey Firing, Using ‘Dossier’ Author
Breitbart ^ | 01/01/2025 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 01/01/2025 10:53:25 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former acting FBI Director-turned-CNN contributor Andrew McCabe ordered a criminal probe into then-President Donald Trump days after he fired FBI Director James Comey, using the discredited source of the Russia “dossier.”

That is the claim made by RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry, based on newly-released documents.

The FBI initiated its “Russia collusion” investigation in mid-2016 based on the “dossier” compiled by a former British spy, Christopher Steele, who was working for the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. Steele’s work had first been bankrolled by Trump’s conservative critics, then by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (which hid the expenses from the Federal Elections Commission). The “dossier” was soon exposed as a fraud, and the FBI fired Steele as a paid source after he leaked information to the media. Nevertheless, the FBI referred to the dossier in applying for renewals of warrants for surveillance on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Lots of people need to be going to prison. Judges and prosecutors to the head of the line.

With the Trump win, are the good guys feeling safer about spilling the beans on the bad guys? I expect there’ll be a lot of interesting disclosures.

Legit question: what was the Constitutional authority for the “wanted dead or alive” posters in the Old West? Why didn’t they try that on Trump?

Time for polygraph tests for all that remain and investigations and congressional testimony on all that left.

It would break my heart if McCabe were to wind up at SuperMax in Colorado.

If the trials of these conspirators were to be held in DC there’s not a chance that there’d be any guilty verdicts.

A committee of people of IMPECCABLE INTEGRITY must be established to ascertain and expose the TRUTH about this.

McCabe must be prosecuted by the incoming DOJ.

People in power seem to have no concerns using all means (legal and illegal) to “attack” their political opponents. But cry like a little B$$$$ claiming these actions should not be used against them….. 🤔

There is no accountability in DC. Too many connections between people there; pulling on a string can unravel the garment.

Meanwhile, Terry MacAuliffe recruited McCabe’s wife to run for the Virginia Senate. Who raised $500,000 to fund her campaign by headlining a fundraising event? Why, none other than Hillary Clinton.

They haven’t gone to prison because the DoJ and FBI are comprehensively corrupt and part of the problem.

“People need to start going to prison“

They won’t stop for some little prison term. They need to declare, that working for. The federal government, and doing political targeting is TREASON. Then hang a few of these people and watch how fast the Obama culture dies.
