Fired FBI executive Andrew McCabe says America's conservatives are as bad as Islamic terrorists and the federal government needs vastly increased powers to spy on them.
The stunning words from McCabe came during his recent speech at the University of Chicago, and were captured by a report in The Federalist about his comments on conservatives.
"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.
The report explained, "McCabe was fired as the deputy FBI director for leaking sensitive information about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and then lying about it under oath. He also took part in spying on the Donald Trump campaign through a secret warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court."

.... Sounds like disgraced, crybaby, loser,, leaker, liar, hardcore anti-Trump spy, the unelected McCabe (who should have been prosecuted) was been radicalized a long time ago and needs to be spied upon himself.
Be careful what you ask for McCabe.
After treating us as enemies and “othering” us, when these incompetent fools get us into a land war with russia during winter, they’ll be begging us to send our sons to die to protect them.
Obviously the FBI’s rigorous psychological screening for nutcases is defective.
... or maybe it isn’t. SHeeeeesh ... to believe this guy rose as high as he did.
We saw about 1,000x the violence, intimidation, and the “give us our way or we’ll do more” from the numerous antifa/blm riots. But whatever, this guy got caught and railed for his antics so sure he’s out for revenge.
He belongs to the cult of Hoover.
Bureaucrats and maybe technocrats look at continuation of the the entities of the state and the laws they believe in more that the kind of political system they work under. They care more about their power and place in their bureaucrat society and any threat to that entity must be destroyed.
Conservatives, at least the modern ones, have been advocating the deep dive into the workings of bureaucratic bastions, especially the FBI, and they see that the FBI needs reform or dismantling of the entity.
Some the reasons that conservatives find repugnant in the bureau are core tenets of how the FBI conducts their operations and live their lives as Agents of the government.
McCabe’s view that conservatives are terroristic is based on the threat of change he sees to his version of society and his bureau and the threat of change that can come to his world view.
In This instance I will agree with Mao Zedong, that bureaucracy can be the worst thing a government, a people, can foster on themselves, especially when there is limited oversight, complicity among government agencies, and corruption of people. Mao’s problem with agencies is that he wanted to go in new directions and the bureaus were stagnant or unwilling to change with the times his dictatorship/whims. However, I do believe he was correct that government entities do have corrupt people working in them and the link included below lists many of the bad types that exist. You pick the poison.

But NONE of the Democrat factions have been radicalized, like BLM, ANTIFA, media elites, academia the federal work force . . . noooooo, not a single one of them radicalized . . . /sarc
Mostly peaceful gatherings of community service groups you meant? 😊

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

The left continually makes these kinds of statements. I wished someone would make them explain and defend those statements.
“Those in power must keep power”
And eliminate, in any possible, their opposition.
McCabe and his ilk would go to any extreme to accomplish that if they could.
You have the best tagline on FR.
Thank you.

Like some sort of conservative representative? As we’ve seen, the democommies simply ignore any questioning of what they do. Regardless of constitution or court orders. Rendition might work.
You’re welcome. At 71, I speak from many years experience. They are utterly impossible on all levels.
“At 71, I speak from many years experience.”
I came to the same conclusion several years ago. I just wasn’t able to boil it down to a pithy quote. Thankfully FR helped me do that with the character limit on tag lines.
Stay safe.

FU McCabe. YOU are an anti-American POS.
McCabe, Steven D’Antuono and the Clintons are all wrapped into the Tenex / TLI / Uranium One scandal. No surprise seeing them all rear their head over the Capitol Riots at a time Russia is making moves in Kazakhstan.
