In the months before President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, FBI counterintelligence agents investigating Russian election interference were also collecting evidence suggesting that Trump could be compromised by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director who oversaw the bureau’s Russia investigation, told me in an interview conducted late last week that concerns about Trump had been building “for some time”—and that he was convinced the FBI would have been justified in opening a case against the president.

1. Recommended.

Natasha is definitely one of the most intelligent, talented journalists out there.

4. Her, Robert Costa, Philip Rucker, Eugene Robinson......

Just to name a few. Jonathan Lemier comes to mind as well.

3. McCabe can sink Trump and his corrupt Administration.....

Partly because of the with drawl of his retirement after 22 years of service to this country in principle. The sale of his book should remedy that.


Donald Trump should be very afraid of what Andrew McCabe has to say. He is not bound and therefore can expose non classified information that is damaging to Trump and company.

5. I hope he can do that

for the sake of our country

6. My worry is his credibility might take a hit for lying 3 times...

The opposition might try to use it against him...

7. Congressional Republicans for Trump have no credibility.....

themselves. They tried that with Jim Comey and Comey got the better of them.

8. Mr. McCabe is an

interesting character. Similar to others -- Rosenstein, Comey, and Mueller -- he has a rather rigid personality structure. And, like all human beings, he is a combination of "good" and "bad".....though the two often appear to overlap.

McCabe can expose a heck of a lot more, and likely will in the next two to three weeks. He might even touch upon something the media tends to overlook -- he and others in the FBI were also aware of "intelligence" from numerous other sources, including but not limited to US intelligence agencies. Perhaps he will focus some attention to how much of this "intelligence" is documented (rather than "analysis" of the facts that are documented), but cannot be used in a court of law due to its sensitive, highly classified nature.

I've thought about posting an essay on just that topic here on DU. Just might do so after today's forum distraction has passed. It's important, and definitely worthy of our attention. McCabe could explain it in detail on a much larger stage than DU. (For this reason, I surely wish Senator Graham would call him to testify before his committee!)
