Refuse to share information about the Islamic State with the United States. And official telling the post that trump revealed more information to the Russian Ambassador than we have shared with our own allies. Nbc news has not confirmed the reports about the meeting. Roughly an hour ago National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster emerged from the white house to offer this denial. Theres nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American People. This story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president and the Foreign Minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil a ....
In the initial investigation, right? all these people involved in investigating what russia did to try into stall trump in the white house, all these people who were involved in that investigation or who crucially might have been witnesses between what happened between trump and comey, all of them have since seen themselves and their careers systematically targeted by president and the trump administration and their helpers in conservative media. but with andrew mccabe they re now going an extra mile. they are demanding not just the destruction of his career and his reputation but they are now demanding his criminal prosecution. and the proximate charge is related to an internal investigation at the justice department into who at the fbi leaked information to the wall street journal confirming that there was an fbi investigation before the election into potential wrongdoing at the clinton foundation. now, i know, why would a possessed anti-trump partisan do such a thing? ....
But the story is you might have seen these headlines about this today, about what appears to be a maybe botched or at least somewhat haywire effort to try to bring about a criminal prosecution of this man, andrew mccabe, who became director of the fbi right after president trump fired fbi director james comey. he had been deputy director. after comey was fired that made him director. you may remember one of the things that happened right after trump fired james comey, literally two days after, that was that just by coincidence there happened to be scheduled a big intelligence hearing, an annual oversight hearing on worldwide threats. this is a hearing that happens every year. and it s always a big deal hearing. you get the head of the cia, head of the nsa, head of the fbi. they give you this big picture dramatic view of american national security threats and american efforts to counter those threats. the problem was when this happened in 2017, the problem was the fbi director had jus ....
That you decided to start the obstruction of justice and counterintelligence investigations involving the president? i think the next day i met with the team investigate the russia cases and i asked the team to go back and conduct an assessment to determine where are we with these efforts and what steps do we need to take going forward. i was very concerned that i was able to put the russia case on absolutely solid ground in an indelible fashion that were i removed quickly or reassigned or fired that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace. so this is andrew mccabe. he becomes the director of the fbi after the president fires james comey. after the president fires james comey, he then immediately invites the russians, the russian foreign minister and the russian ambassador, into the oval office and tells them all the pressure he s been facing about russia is off because he fired comey. ....
The conservative media and by the president s supporters in congress and, you know, if you were looking to destroy somebody and destroy their career and destroy their reputation and turn them into an unrecognizable bogey man, andrew mccabe would be a great candidate for that, right? he s the guy who approved these two incredibly serious investigations into the sitting president, a guy who was himself an important witness in the obstruction investigation into the president s behavior toward the fbi, somebody who could directly attest to james comey s behavior and what was known about interactions between comey and trump before trump fired him. he also was willing to publicly attest that the president t s assertions about comey being hated at the fbi were not true. mccabe himself was also an expert on russian organized crime, which has turned out in the trump era to be not the kind of thing you want to highlight on your resume anymore if you re in law enforcement or intelligence. in any ....
