Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is contradicting the White House claim that fired director James Comey had lost the support of rank-and-file members of the bureau.
The White House used that assertion to justify Comey’s firing. But McCabe says the claim is not accurate. He says Comey “enjoyed broad support” within the agency and that he holds Comey in the “absolute highest regard.”
He says it was the “greatest privilege” of his career to serve under him.
As Rachel Maddow has been saying (although I don’t remember the direct quote offhand) believe nothing that this White House says, watch what they do.
I mean, what was The Occupant’s administration expecting when they fired Comey, that all would be well?
It seems that if governmental operations a careening even further into insanity, if anything.
And that’s exactly what Vladimir Putin wanted, right?
