Much of the trail of sleaze in the Russiagate travesty leads back to former Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe. From Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke at truthovernews.org:
McCabe tried to re-engage Christopher Steele after Comey firing in preparation for newly fabricated investigation
Journalist Aaron Mate released a copy of the May 16, 2017 Electronic Communication that was used to open the FBI’s formal investigation of then-President Donald Trump as a foreign agent of Russia. The document, received by Mate under a Freedom of Information request he filed, totals six pages in length and is heavily redacted.
The FBI’s opening of a new investigation of President Trump in May 2017 followed the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation in July 2016, which targeted the Trump campaign as a whole. This newer investigation also sought to determine whether Trump “obstructed” the FBI’s July 2016 Crossfire Hurricane investigation and/or any other “associated” investigations.
The May 16, 2017 date of the Electronic Communication remains highly relevant—particularly when we bear in mind two other specific events that surround the filing of this document: the firing of former FBI Director James Comey on May 9, 2017 by President Trump and the sudden appointment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel on May 17, 2017.
At the opening of this new (and completely unprecedented) investigation into a sitting US President, the FBI was being led by Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe—who can currently be found running cover for the FBI on CNN.
McCabe had been a key player in the FBI’s counterintelligence Crossfire Hurricane investigation of the Trump presidential campaign, which relied heavily on fraudulent information provided by Steele—whom McCabe likely knew from his time leading the FBI’s Eurasian Crime Squad.
