NEW: Acting FBI Director McCabe just passed on nuking Donald Trump at Senate oversight hearing
Liberals are desperate to prove that President Trump fired James Comey as FBI Director as a part of some grand scheme to end any investigation into ties between his campaign and Russia. Well, if that was the president’s plan, Trump accidentally put in charge of the FBI someone we’ve criticized in the past for his close ties to the Clinton money machine: Andrew McCabe. Why would the president do that? Anyway, McCabe, who is testifying right now in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, just had a spoon-fed opportunity to nuke the president and he passed. Here’s Senator Richard Burr asking McCabe to comment on Trump’s letter to Comey alleging that the former FBI director had privately told the president on “three separate occasions” that he wasn’t the target of the investigation.
To that, McCabe said he couldn’t comment on any talks Comey may have had with the president:
Burr to McCabe: Did you ever hear Director Comey tell Trump he wasn't the subject of a probe?
McCabe: Can't comment on any of their convos.— Eric Geller (@ericgeller) May 11, 2017
