(13,524 posts)As both a NYC street agent & supervisor investigating Semion's Russian mob,
McCabe would be well-known - BY NAME - by the RUS mob & their businessman
fronts. Trump knew exactly who Andrew McCabe was when he took office & had his
sights on him from day 1.

First line of Mr. McCabes statement after being fired:
I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. I spent half of that time investigating Russian Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City.

(22,114 posts)I've dealt w/ FBI agents all of the time and they were always respectful, and professional. I provided per FBI subpoenas data on various telephone recordings. Again, I wish Mr. McCabe the best. These guys oftentimes are the last stand against organized crime and the like, in protecting all of us.

Donnie Two Scoops likes lawsuits, so let's give him another one and make his day.

Itm, let them claw at each other as we head for the midterms. Trump can't be trusted to make a move without blabbing and otherwise hurting himself, much less his party.
Interestingly, the enemies in government whom Trump rails against as Democratic "deep state" conspirators are apparently all Republicans. McCabe's just among the latest.
