Former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe has warned that classified intelligence from bureaus investigation into President Donald Trumps 2016 campaign ties to Russia could contain information that would risk casting the president in a very negative light.
Mr McCabe has been at the centre of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, in which a Republican-controlled panel is reviewing the FBIs recision to initiate the investigation.
He testified before the panel on Tuesday and told lawmakers that officials had a duty to carry out the investigation due to the information they had collected. Mr McCabe personally approved the decision to investigate Mr Trump for possible obstruction of justice.
In an interview with CNN on Friday night, Mr McCabe was asked what the risks were if more information from the Russia investigation was to be declassified.

Gosh, I think we have only seen the more superficial horrors. It's like a shit iceberg and that's just the tip.

I hope Biden reinstates Andy McCabe long enough for him to finish out his sprint to retirement. I believe he was hours away from eligibility for retirement when trump fired him out of spite.

(11,768 posts)Voting records don't lie. Jail would be great, but yeah, not going to happen. It's up to us to change minds, and it's going to be a tough slog. However, with Biden's national plan on C-19 helping ALL states and not a choice few, I think that will make our jobs a little easier.

(4,544 posts)I saw the full interview. McCabe says whatever this is would be "unflattering" to Trump. That does not sound like something as serious as treason or pedophilia to me. It sounds more like the pee tape is real.

(21,999 posts)What do you expect McCabe to say with Trump still in power with his DOJ cronies?
Silver Gaia
(4,544 posts)That's where you will find this word. McCabe chose his words carefully.

(4,544 posts)Whatever it is, Trump wants it hidden (whether he realizes it or not), and McCabe seems to think it needs to stay that way to protect sources and methods.

I am totally sick and tired of bullshit hints like this.

(1,587 posts)at the Pentagon could be attempts to seek out and destroy damning documents that show the depth of his betrayal to the country he took an oath to protect. According to Malcolm Nance the Pentagon is so vast it is almost impossible to do so before Jan. 20th. Personally l think it highly likely that CI has a black file somewhere that keeps both tRump and Putin awake at nights.
