McCabe: 'I don't think I will ever be free of this president and his maniacal rage'

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Friday that he doesn't think he will "ever be free of" President Trump and "his maniacal rage," despite the Justice Department announcing it will no longer pursue criminal charges against him.

"I don't expect to ever be free of the mantle of investigation that clearly has been reinitiated to some degree today," McCabe said on CNN's "The Situation Room."

"I don't think I'll ever be free of this President and his maniacal rage that he's directed towards me and my wife since October of 2016 for absolutely no reason whatsoever," he said.

His comments came hours after the Justice Department said it would not pursue charges based on an Inspector General's recommendation that was made before McCabe was fired from the FBI by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Inspector General had alleged that McCabe was not forthcoming during interviews with federal investigators and claimed he "lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions."

will ever be free of the destruction trump has rained upon us. The thought that he will go down in history as a president of the USA is disgusting.

I hope we will see glimmers of it. But it's going to take one hell of a long time to fix everything the orange idiot has broken and/or destroyed.

We're suffering from the division right now, but the 200 nations and each of the 7 continents will suffer from his unchecked climate change.

We've also got to mend fences (not walls) with our former allies.

He's the master of disaster.

“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.”

He was targeted from the git-go by the newly-elected Russian asset

What a terrible shame that this federal employee has to go through the depraved acts of this so called president. The judge in this case apparently dressed down the prosecutors for prolonging McCabe's case before the courts way too long.

I'll bet a lot of former employees of the rump WH feel as McCabe feels.
