| Summary |
An interview with Andrew McCabe, former acting FBI director, upon the release of his new book "The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump." McCabe discusses what occurred behind the scenes between the firing of FBI Director James Comey on May 9, 2017, and the initiation of the Mueller investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election. After Comey's firing, McCabe ordered two investigations of the President: whether the firing of Comey was an obstruction of justice, meant to impede the investigations of Russia's malign actions; and if this was done on behalf of the Russian government. Other topics include: Rosenstein's offer to wear a wire; impeachment; his wife Jill McCabe's short-lived Virginia Senate campaign and its peripheral connection to the Clintons; Trump's bullying; authorized leak of a story to The Wall Street Journal. McCabe was eventually fired for allegedly lying. While prosecutors consider whether to charge him, McCabe considers suing for his pension. He believes he was fired for opening a case against the President of the United States. Includes interview with: Jill McCabe, Andrew's wife |
