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.
Trump's dismissal of Comey and events surrounding it are reported to be a key aspect of Mueller's investigation into the president.

Good to see you!!
You’ve been missed!!
Yes, what was your s/n before it was Basket_of_Deplorables??
Also, do you ever provide links for your claims? Or, do you just wing it, to enable the insults to fly?
“McCabe: Trump wants to destroy me to stop Mueller probe.”
McCabe has been destroyed months ago in terms of his political power and reputation. He was thrown off the destroy Trump movement because he was too reckless; he doesn’t have any true damaging info against Trump. Now, all that is left to see is his infantile, vitriolic partisanship which cannot be denied.
From Macbeth “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.”
I confess ignorance. Please enlighten me on the
connection between Uranium 1 and the events which took
the lives of four Americans in Benghazi.
The F.U. Was a little strong, grey_whiskers.
Good Catch - Thanks.
I checked it out and it looks like the actual date was August 15, 2016

It would appear the various Intel Agencies throughout the world are “cleansing” their ranks. Events in the Donbas likewise come to mind. A dozen or so Pro-Russian militia leaders murdered in last couple of years. None of these assassinations solved as of yet.
You are wrong and influenced by the groupthink
Sessions is involved with the strategic planning for the assault. He is certainly involved with the establishment of an IG with 450 lawyers making the investigation secretly outside the normal prying eyes and ears in main justice.
Gregg Birnbaum of NBC News: “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.”
The Big Lie.
“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.”
Come now. Let’s not be vindictive. If he has to spend 10 hours on his feet every day slicing salami in a deli, while on work release, I would say justice has been served, along with cole slaw.
I hadn't thought that through, but yes, you are correct.
There is NO WAY that McCabe did not know about the sex trafficking and pedophelia going on in Washington and Hollywood that was practiced by the elite.
Trump has waged war against the pedophiles - and McCabe was one of the criminals protectors:

Post #37 - great link. Thanks.
Thanks. I believe McCabe said that. However, I don't think he has really thought this through. If he wants to sing, he better damn well get himself into the Witness Protection Program (and his family as well). Otherwise, he might end up dead, soon. And if the Deep State and the Satanic globalists can't get to McCabe, they will get to his family.
But McCabe won't cooperate. Not unless he is at the end of his rope, which given his statements yesterday, he clearly has not yet reached rock bottom.
But give it time.........
Possibly IG/OPR is just throwing McCabe under the bus to protect Comey, et al. Since McCabe won’t suffer much, it might end right here. He’ll take one for the team, and collect $500k/yr from his next job.
Let’s hope there’s plenty more to follow.
Is Trump now in charge of the FBI Internal Affsirs office?
Yah, I’m sorry. I was up too latereading all the McCabal and Q threads.
A big factor feeding their animus toward president Trump is not just that he beat Hillary and won the election.
It's that they helped rig the election to guarantee Hillary a win and she still lost.
So, in effect, he beat THEM as well as Hillary!
