Andrew McCabe reveals Trump was obsessed with his wife

— bringing her up ‘every time I ever spoke to him’

In an interview with CNN’s Pamela Brown, former FBI Director Andrew McCabe revealed that President Donald Trump was completely obsessed with McCabe’s wife.

During a 2015 campaign for the state senate, McCabe’s wife Jill accepted a contribution from political action committee for then-Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. Because McAuliffe was an ally of the Clintons in the past, Trump decided it meant McCabe was working against him. McCabe, however, worked against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election with the FBI investigation into the email server, but Trump never cared about the facts. Instead, he was seemingly fixated by McCabe’s wife.

In at last four occasions, Trump taunted him about it being a “mistake or “problem,” and called the man’s wife a “loser.” Trump even raised the issue with former FBI Director James Comey at one point, “Out of the blue,” he told CNN’s Pamela Brown Friday.

It sounds like Trump had a personal vendetta against McCabe that grew out of his obsession with Hillary. I have to wonder if Trump would have shown the same pettiness and vindictiveness toward a male opponent. I know he has used nicknames and told lies about them, but it seems that Hillary has pushed him over the edge.

Just last week, it was reported that Trump pushed back initially against going after Hillary personally because if (when) he lost the primaries, he intended to vote for her.

work in NY, taking down corrupt Russians working in the city. Trumpy would have been affected by those arrests if he was laundering money...
