in targeting officer who killed Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe on Thursday blasted former President Donald Trump for "threatening law enforcement" in calling for "justice" against the Capitol Police officer who killed insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt on January 6.

During an appearance on CNN's "The Situation Room," McCabe told anchor Jim Acosta that Trump's comments regarding the Capitol Police were "incredibly dangerous."

"We know this for a fact. It is not something we are theorizing about," he said. "We have seen before the impact that the president's words have on his most die-hard and emotional supporters."

He added: "We have seen an attempted bombing plot by a domestic extremist who was arrested some years ago who said he was following the directions of President Trump. We all saw the insurrectionists on January 6th acting what many of them had said, they thought they were following his direction."

1. Many in Law enforcement mostly agrees with him or they would threatening him back.

Too many in law enforcement relish the power and unaccountability they had under a Trump administration.

2. I'm not disputing the general idea here but LEO's are pretty unlikely to threaten

publicly ... a former POTUS.

That would be way out of line. Not they WOULD, probably, if they could.

But the lack thereof isn't proof of much.

And I doubt there's that many cops, no matter their politics, that don't think Babbitt getting shot was deserved under the circumstances. I would bet mostly they all understand that there's a line in sand, and you should only fall back 'so much' when you're a cop.

3. We need a 'threatening law enforcement'/ etc. high profile arrest and conviction.

That may deter some.

4. What's it going to take to get him prosecuted and put away?

If we can't manage that, then we don't deserve to keep our constitutional republic.
