Former top FBI official Andrew McCabe, who was fired late Friday night by Attorney General Jeff Sessions two days before becoming eligible for full pension benefits, said in an extraordinary statement that he was targeted because President Donald Trump wants to destroy him as part of his "war" against special counsel Robert Mueller.
"This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement and intelligence professionals more generally," McCabe said in a statement released shortly after Sessions announced his decision. "It is part of this administration's ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the special counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the special counsel's work."
The statement was the first time McCabe had spoken candidly of his anger at the Trump White House. In it, he painted a remarkable picture of an administration that tried to politicize its principal law enforcement arm, the FBI, and discredit several of the bureau's longtime leaders, all in an effort to escape scrutiny of Trump by the special counsel.
McCabe noted in his statement that he had knowledge that could be useful to Mueller's investigation into events involving the president.
"Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of (FBI director) James Comey," McCabe said.

STOP giving them cover, even inadvertently, by using meaningless words like 'shameful' : they are beyond corruption, into wholehearted evil, and care for nothing but raw power and their own wealth and prestige.
Put them in prison and force them to pay back the government all their pay and benefits...at prisoner wages.
McCabe et al are guilty of conspiracy to overthrow the government and to obstruct governance
all other charges aside, the conspiracy is evident on the face and goes deep into the treasonous cabal established at the top.
McCabe and his ‘thug friends’ in intelligence ( clapper and brennan) should be arrested... NOT just lose their pensions.
Sessions has cover. He can say that he is just following the recommendations of the the FBIs OPR.
What was your screen name before it was changed to Basket_of_Depolorables?
FBI: How many liberal groups were investigated compared to conservative groups? Agent Lois Lerner?
Trump had nothing to do with crybaby McCabe’s firing.
McCabe had everything to do with McCabe’s firing. What a turd.
What next? He’ll write a book “Here’s what happened?”
Imagine being a decent FBI agent for X years, then selling your soul, and becoming in essence a traitor to your own country, to the safety of the American people, for your own political agenda. He is one sick puppy.
Funny how he and his buddies were perfectly willing to send General Flynn and others to jail, and to totally destroy their lives after full careers of honor serving the country, for “lying to the FBI,” and yet, it’s a different story (in his mind) when HE lies to the FBI. What a world he lives in.
They ALL thought that Hillary was s shoo in.
“I’m UNTOUCHABLE, Dammit!” - McCabe
Scumbag
The shady clickbait site TruePundit” said he would “torch” the FBI if his pension was nixed.
Did he really say “F Flynn” and “F Trump”?
Not for your crowd, since that’s the first thing your mind ran to.
Podesta_the_Molesta, I’d guess, seeing how desperate his is to discredit evidence if pedophilia.
Fuck McCabe. And Comey. And the rest of the Deep State Cabal.
Looks like being #2 at the FBI tends to bring out the slimy 0bama in people.
Andy the clintonista goon is proving his rabid partisanship with every comment he makes! This piece of fecal floater should be brought before a firing squad for treason.
Sessions has until Oct., 2018 to do a buncha unloading on the swamp (The FIB and DoJ in particular).
