and continued. what they re trying to do to him now trump had his press secretary go out and call mccabe, to america, a bad actor today. it s reminiscent of the defamation they visited on comey when he was fired, and they said falsely the whole fbi had turned against him. this kind of assault on independent law enforcement by the white house for the small ends of trying to affect the investigation against the president is really dangerous and toxic. i want to read one more passage of andrew mccabe s written statement tonight. he says, here is the reality, i am being singled out and treated this way because of the role i played, the actions i took and the events i witnessed in the aftermath 069 firing of jim comey, the release of this report was accelerated only after my testimony to the house intelligence committee revealed that i would corroborate former
