FBI Pressure
It was no secret that Trump wasn’t pleased with what was happening in the FBI. The question that was most concerning was why he wanted more to be done about others and nothing about himself?
McCabe was now the latest casualty in a quick burst of firings by Trump.
“This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally,” McCabe said. “It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel’s work.”
It was believed that McCabe may have damaging information on the President. If he does he was expected to release this information forthwith.
“There are a host of inappropriate actions by the President that don’t necessarily rise to the level of criminality that McCabe may feel obliged to disclose publicly now,” Matthew Miller said. “It’s very much in McCabe’s interests to reveal any inappropriate actions by the President that he was aware of because it helps make his case that he was fired for political reasons. He may do that in interviews, and he may do it in a lawsuit he brings over his firing.”
