Remember, this is already someone who has not only betrayed us on every must-pass bill, but gratuitously gave the left what they wanted...

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.
