CHAFFETZ: Andrew McCabe ‘Should be Prosecuted’ Following his '60 Minutes' Interview

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.19.19

Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz unloaded on disgraced FBI official Andrew McCabe Tuesday; saying the Deputy Director “should be prosecuted” for attempting to remove President Trump from office.

“What he did on ’60 Minutes’ was he shared information that is obviously classified. He should be prosecuted for that,” said Chaffetz.

“You just can’t go into the meeting, tell the world what the FBI was informing the president, the discussions that were in a classified setting. You can’t do that even if it is second-hand knowledge,” he added.

Chaffetz was referring to McCabe’s interview on ’60 Minutes’ where he publicly acknowledged a DOJ plot to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the President.

“We had a number of very concerning things we were considering at the time.  One of them was the fact that the President in our view had gone to extreme measures to potentially impact, negatively impact, possibly turn off our investigation of Russia meddling into the election and Russian coordination with his campaign,” said McCabe.

BOMBSHELL REPORT: FBI’s McCabe Behind CLINTON INVESTIGATION Leaks in 2016

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.02.18

Former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe was reportedly behind the illegal leaks regarding Hillary Clinton’s ongoing email investigation in 2016, releasing sensitive material to the Wall Street Journal ahead of the US presidential election.

According to a bombshell story in the New York Times, an upcoming report from the DOJ’s Inspector General is expected to blame McCabe for the unprecedented amount of leaks originating in the bureau ahead of Election Day.

“A Justice Department review is expected to criticize the former F.B.I. deputy director, Andrew G. McCabe, for authorizing the disclosure of information about a continuing investigation to journalists, according to four people familiar with the inquiry,” writes the Times.

“It is unclear whether the inspector general will identify others who spoke about the Clinton investigation. But Mr. McCabe is by far the most prominent subject,” the article adds.

The revelation comes as the FBI enters another month marred in controversy.

The bureau has been the focus of Congressional investigators for weeks following Rep. Devin Nunes’ explosive FISA memo last month; alleging the agency used Clinton-financed material to spy on senior Trump associates.

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.13.19

Former Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe publicly admitted Wednesday night that began an “obstruction of justice” investigation after President Trump fired disgraced bureau chief James Comey from the agency.

“Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe in a new interview reveals new details of the investigations into President Trump, telling CBS that there were conversations about the possibility of removing Trump under the 25th amendment and confirming that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had offered to wear a wire around the president,” reports The Hill.

“There were meetings at the Justice Department at which it was discussed whether the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet could be brought together to remove the president of the United States under the 25th Amendment,” added CBS News’ Scott Pelley.

“I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground, in an indelible fashion,” McCabe said. “That were I removed quickly, or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace.”
