On Wednesdays edition of CNNs The Situation Room, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe broke down for anchor Wolf Blitzer how unprecedented President Donald Trumps interference in the Justice Department is.
Its hard to even explain what a departure this is from every reasonable standard of how to conduct prosecutions and investigations in a rule of law society in which all people are treated the same, said McCabe. One the fundamental bedrocks of that is the president does not get involved in criminal prosecutions. Certainly doesnt weigh in with his preferences on sentences, wouldnt typically attack witnesses, wouldnt assail the government for recruiting informants, but these are all things that this president has done repeatedly.
[In your] 21 years in the FBI, have you ever seen a president attack a federal judge, for example, or go after prosecutors, federal prosecutors, along these lines? asked anchor Wolf Blitzer.
Not only have I never seen it, the one time that I can remember President Obama, you may recall, made an offhanded, impertinent remark during our investigation of the Hillary Clinton email situation, in which he opined that we were unlikely to find much. And that simple statement rocked us to the core. I can tell you that we were incredibly concerned about asking ourselves what did that mean, was the president trying to tell us what his intent was for the investigation?

Well Mr McCabe and then there is Wolf..................take a step back and think "who was in charge of Congress when this "first started out".....................I got a answer for you, the country had two years of a senate and house that was controlled by fascist's and they did fucking nothing to hold this "guy accountable .............and the country and the Constitution just got fucked over by republicans in the senate less than 10 days ago................... .......and then when the democrats took back the house and exposed the republican BS, everyone every where are now are throwing up there hands, trying to seek some answer........................
Hey Blitzer I got an answer why don't you get some people around in a forum on your show that are upset with this BS and ask them what they think on how the republicans are taking down this republic.........................
