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.

Fixed it.
RE: Great article. Of course, trump is saying he won’t seek vengeance
Not vengeance — JUSTICE!
Remember the Pledge: With Liberty and JUSTICE for all.
everybody that’s worried, should be...
Ditto..
It’s not just the democrats who use the FBI as their own personal gestapo but the entrenched and corrupt Republican party members as well. They are two sides of the deep state coin. Both will fight tooth and nail against any wholesale changes to the FBI. McCabe was protected by his own kind and rewarded for it for it financially.
The FBI isn’t even that old. It has existed only a bit more than 100 years. The longer it exists the more corrupt it has become. The result is that it exists not to fight crime but instead to go after those who threaten the beast power....the deep state.
I don’t think it’s going to happen but IF Trump somehow manages to “win” the election despite the massive cheating and propaganda of the deep state then he needs to eliminate ALL positions above a certain level. In fact he could do this by offering very generous pensions but in return revoking security clearances. Who cares how much it cost? They will at least be out of the way. He then needs to appoint a strong willed outsider with an immpecable crime fighting record who will focus number 1 on real crime and not political agenda crimes.
It’s a Herculean task. One of Trumps biggest mistakes was leaning too heavily on Washington insiders for their ideas about political appointments. They are all snakes and can’t be trusted.
It’s a
Not Guam, Guam is a beautiful place. Better to transfer them to someplace that is cold and dreary year-round.
Sociopaths do not have a conscience.
Trump will need help to prosecute these people. Count the cowardly GOPee out from the start. They’ll be no help.
Surely these FBI agents believe in the federal judicial system and the rule of law?
Only the FBI goons need to be afraid.
There are quite a few in the FBI that SHOULD be arrested. They should be afraid!
I'm sorry, but that statement is simply delusional. The FBI at best actively covered up the guilty parties who assassinated a US president. Most likely they actively participated in the assassination. You might see the deep state as being largely non partisan, and that is true to a certain degree because it is strictly them versus us, but that entire organization has been nothing more than a federal gang of thugs for decades.
Why? If they haven’t done anything wrong, why would they be worried?
FBI agents are scared of going to jail if Trump is elected.
Only those aided and abetted the democrat party criminal issues otherwise they have nothing to worry about.
Democrats turn fear meter dial up.
Somehow this is Trumps fault, right? Not the lying, POS agents of course.
Only those in his circle “jerk” of buddies.
“Up until a few years ago, the FBI used to be a studiously non-political organization.”
Say, what?? They were ALWAYS a political organization and Hoover had them blackmailing politicians. Their DC “crime lab” was a criminal and found to have made up “evidence”.
