7 Big Takeaways From Andrew McCabe's Planned Coup
2019-02-16
[The Federalist] If Washington, D.C. were a better place, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe would be swiftly run out of town. He was fired last year for lying to the FBI’s inspector general at least four times regarding serious questions about multiple abuses that occurred while McCabe sat in a powerful and unelected office.

These abuses included working with former FBI director James Comey to set up former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus for obstruction charges, slow-walking and sabotaging the investigation of yet unseen Hillary Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner’s computer just before the 2016 election, and failing to report a clear conflict of interest where his wife received a political donation from a close Hillary Clinton ally while he was tasked with investigating Hillary Clinton.

Among other things, McCabe also took part in spying on the Trump campaign through a secret warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) court. This spying allowed obedient anti-Trump media figures to report, right before the 2016 election, that the FBI was investigating President Trump‐which legitimized the Hillary Clinton campaign’s talking points about Trump and Russia.

Thankfully, although the establishment media cheers McCabe, he may yet face legal trouble as a result of his actions. So to save his skin, and sell his new book to help pay the lawyers‐titled "The Threat: How the F.B.I. Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump"‐McCabe is on the media circuit.

#2  McCabe's coup? Although he had a lot to do with the coup, there are plenty of other willing participants as well. It goes right to the top of the Obama administration and spreads downward through the CIA, DOJ, FBI, State and probably other agencies. As Trump said there have been many bad things going on for a long time.

#1  When Obama was elected I said here that Milovan Djilas' "The New Class" is a must read for every American. This article is an example.
