After he was fired by President Trump, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe issued the following statement:

“The big picture is a tale of what can happen when law enforcement is politicized, public servants are attacked, and people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions become instruments for damaging those institutions and people.”

Supposedly, McCabe was fired because he provided an interview to a news agency unauthorized by the FBI.

In his rebuttal, McCabe says of the charge: “As Deputy Director, I was one of only a few people who had the authority to do that. It was not a secret, it took place over several days, and others, including the Director, were aware of the interaction with the reporter.”

McCabe is said to have written memos relating to his conversations with President Trump as did former FBI director James Comey. They, like Comey’s memos, may shed light on whether Trump attempted to halt the investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Robert Mueller was appointed by the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the Russian meddling. Now Trump is calling this investigation a “WITCH HUNT.”

Trump makes this accusation, despite cases already brought against thirteen Russians, as well as several Americans within the Trump campaign and administration.

Robert Mueller, by the way, is not a Democrat. He is a Republican, a highly respected public servant appointed as FBI director by President George W. Bush. He served for thirteen years as director.
