Acting FBI director vows to inform congressional committee if White House tries to upend Russia probe

By Matt Zapotosky and Karoun Demirjian May 11 at 11:13 AM

Acting FBI director Andrew McCabe vowed Thursday that he would tell the Senate Intelligence Committee if the White House tried to interfere with the bureau’s probe of possible coordination between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election — though he asserted that there had “been no effort to impede our investigation to date.”

McCabe made the assertions at a public hearing with top U.S. intelligence officials before the Senate Intelligence Committee — a hearing that has taken on new significance since Trump suddenly removed James B. Comey from the FBI’s top post.

McCabe appeared in place of Comey, and Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.), the committee vice chair, asked him at the outset if he would commit to informing the committee if the White House tried to meddle in the Russia investigation.

“I absolutely do,” McCabe responded.

Later, though, McCabe said the bureau’s probe had not — and would not — be deterred.

1. It won't be "interference"...

...if he already resolved to do Trump's bidding on his own.

2. Yeah, the same way that "robbery monitor" in that bank commercial

tells people the bank is being robbed but does nothing to stop it.

3. He won't be acting director for long

Or maybe Twitler will make him director then fire him.
