McCabe: He brought up my wife everytime

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/mccabe-fbi-firing/index.html

(snip)

'He brought up my wife every time'

McCabe also opened up about how the President appeared fixated on his wife's failed campaign, recalling at least four occasions in which Trump taunted him with it as a "mistake" or "problem" and calling her a "loser."

Trump raised the issue with Comey "out of the blue," according to McCabe, saying things "like, 'What's wrong with that deputy director of yours?' " insinuating that he was somehow politically motivated against the President, which, McCabe says is "absolutely not true."

"In May, when Director Comey was fired and I had my own interactions with the President, he brought up my wife every time I ever spoke to him," McCabe told CNN, emphasizing that he pushed back. "Of course, I disagreed with him. I don't see my wife's decision to try to enter public life to help her community (have) greater access to healthcare as a mistake or a problem."

McCabe, who said he always considered himself a Republican, also confirmed that the President asked him who he voted for the day after Trump fired Comey and McCabe stepped in as interim FBI director in May.

I wonder if he did vote for Drumpf. And if he did, I guess he feels extra stupid now, huh?

I'm sure he forgives his beloved republican party though. Even if they were the party that supported Drumpf and continues to do so.

How does it feel Mr. McCabe? Your so-called lifelong party is now going to attack the shit out of you.

"I didn't vote at all in 2016, and I explained to him that I did not vote in 2016 because the work that we were involved in had such political overtones that I felt it was prudent not to take a side in an election," McCabe said.

You did not see my greatness and vote for me??? You're fired !

President Obama yet?

I hope I can imagine how all them like dealing with the Psycho ward instead of the Oval Office of a sane POTUS.

Thank you, deminks

To suspend somebody, make them wait a couple months ,then the day before their pension kicks in ,fire them is beyond cruel. I hope McCabe spills all the beans and appeals this.

You can bet Trump contacted Sessions and let him know he wanted him fired.

Every time I think that I can't possibly hate him any more than I already do, he pushes me beyond my limits.
