"Fired FBI Director Andrew McCabe described the Gang of Eight briefing as the moment when the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation was first announced."
"McCabe: No one in Gang of Eight objected to counterintelligence investigation of Trump Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said on Tuesday that no members of the Gang of Eight congressional leaders “objected” when he informed them in May 2017 that the FBI had opened a counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump over his ties to Russia."
"McCabe, who was serving then as acting FBI director in the wake of Trump’s sudden decision to fire Director James Comey, said in an interview on NBC’s “TODAY Show” that no one in the briefing objected to the bureau’s inquiry of whether Trump was being used as a Russian asset — “not on legal grounds, constitutional grounds or based on the facts.”
I didn't have a chance to watch his 60 Minutes interview but it appears he may have held back so he has something new to reveal in his media roll out. That should really irritate dt.
