Andrew McCabe’s Legacy of Corruption and Lies Was All to “Get Trump”
We learned this week the name of the investigation created to get Trump in the middle of 2017 (Oxferd C0mma), only moments after the firing of corrupt FBI Director Jim Comey. Immediately after his friend Comey was fired, Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe went after the President based on no evidence, only suspicions.
They previously released McCabe’s document opening the investigation into President Trump. The substance has now been unredacted, but it contains nothing we did not already expect. The truly significant difference is that we can finally see the case name and number, which were… https://t.co/zX0MAcF5bj pic.twitter.com/aLwPVtNWp6

But it is worse. McCabe tried to get Trump while hawking his book.
2019. While hawking a book, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe discusses why he chose to open an investigation into President Trump in 2017.

Unfortunately for McCabe, we now know there was no evidence to support going after President Trump in 2017. When President Trump fired Comey, the President had every right to do it.
Here are some of McCabe’s other corrupt acts:
Fired Former FBI Director Andrew McCabe made the decision to put what is likely the infamous pee-pee garbage story from the dossier into reports that was shared with the press based on a directive from President Obama.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General’s (IG’s) Report on FISA Abuse points out a number of conflicting statements. One of the biggest whoppers is between Obama’s Attorney General (AG) Loretta Lynch and former and now fired FBI Directors James Comey and Andrew McCabe. Not to be outdone, former Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Rod Rosenstein makes suspect claims himself.
Evidence of General Flynn Lying to Investigators Was Reportedly Destroyed by Andrew McCabe
And the mother load – a list of the major points from the IG’s report on McCabe-
Here are most of those points which highlight the corruption in the DOJ and FBI after the Obama years …
2. Clinton Foundation was under investigation in 2016 but the FBI decided not to release this information to the public. This information was finally leaked just before the election to the Wall Street Journal and confirmed in a second leak instigated by McCabe. (p. 1)
3. In McCabe’s leak to the WSJ, he refutes that he was being impartial to Clinton due to his connections from his wife’s State Senate run. He then leaked that the Justice Department tried to shut down Clinton Foundation investigation but by doing this confirmed to the public in his leak that the investigation was in place. (p. 1)
4. The FBI hid the Clinton Foundation investigation from the public and it was not confirmed until the McCabe leak on October 30th, 2016. The FBI decided that it was in the public interest not to share this information with Americans before the 2016 election. The reasonableness of the decision to not report to the public the Clinton Foundation investigation is not addressed by the IG. (p. 3)
…
6. McCabe lied numerous times to either investigators or inspectors and said he didn’t know why Lisa Page leaked information to the Wall Street Journal. He even lied and said that he was outside of Washington D.C when the leak occurred which was not true. (p. 2)
7. When confronted with lying to investigators, McCabe lied and denied previously lying to investigators. (p. 2)
8. IG Report redacts an individual’s name who discussed the Clinton Foundation investigation with James Comey, McCabe and the Special Counsel (presumably Lisa Page). (p. 7)
9. McCabe states that leaking to the WSJ was the only time in his career “where he had authorized the disclosure to the media of a one-on-one discussion that he had with a member of the Department’s leadership.” (p. 9) [Note this leaves open the possibility of other leaks.]
10. FBI Deputy Assistant Director (Peter Strzok) texted Page about a WSJ article and they noted that they were not upset about McCabe throwing Justice Department official under the bus. That day the DOJ was noted in an article in the WSJ as criticizing Comey for informing Congress of the Clinton Foundation investigation. (p. 10) [Note how the FBI and DOJ only communicate through leaks!]
11. A meeting was held on October 31st, 2016 where Comey reportedly stated “Need to figure out how to get our folks to understand why leaks hurt our organization”. (p. 11) [The audacity!]
12. McCabe stated that he and Comey discussed on October 31st, 2016, the October 30th WSJ leak and says that he told Comey he authorized it. Comey states that he does not recall McCabe telling him that McCabe had authorized the call.
13. McCabe stated that many FBI officials knew he had authorized the October 30th leak to the WSJ. “However, none of the potential witnesses identified by McCabe (FBI-GC, Comey’s Chief of Staff, The Counterintelligence Assistant Director (“AD-CI”), and McCabe’s then-Chief of Staff ) corroborated this or recalled knowing at the time, or even now, that McCabe had authorized the disclosure.” (pp. 13-14)
Overall Point:
The FBI and DOJ characters … appear corrupt, coordinated and conspiring to assist with the cover up of the Clinton Foundation investigation .. while ignoring the filth on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
