McCabe says Trump's involvement in whistleblower complaint is 'incredibly concerning'
CNN Politics ^ | September 19, 2019 | Devan Cole

Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said Thursday that a recent whistleblower complaint about a communication between President Donald Trump and a foreign leader is "incredibly concerning."

"I think you are right. This President has a history of treating classified information and sensitive information questionably at best," McCabe, a CNN contributor, told CNN's John Berman on "New Day."

The concern was first revealed by The Washington Post, which reported that an official in the American intelligence community was so bothered by a "promise" Trump made to a foreign leader that the official filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general of the intelligence community, citing two former US officials familiar with the matter. CNN has not independently confirmed the detail about a "promise" made to the foreign leader.

Wow - just like when he took a leak on the bed at the Russian hotel right?

Or the time he collided with the Russians to throw the election - you were concerned about that too McCabe - so much so that you infiltrated his campaign on Obama’s orders (while absolving Hillary of her email server crimes and misappropriating state secrets)

Then, of course you were also concerned that he was obstructing justice of your spying on his campaign to determine if he was colluding with the Russians because the chosen candidate didn’t win?

Yeah - I don’t care.

Unless there’s a tape of Trump trying to get the Ukraine to assassinate Biden - I. Don’t. Care. Especially as YOU didn’t care when Obama and Hillary worked with Russia to gain political favors or inserted themselves to swing Israel’s election. Not ONE peep from the “caretakers” of America.

McScab has nothing but concern, because it is the President’s JOB to speak with foreign leaders. And all communications are automatically classified.

Perhaps he should be more concerned that his public blathering about the President’s communications are a CRIME punishable by PRISON.

But I guess slanderers have to slander like sewage has to stink.

I wonder how watergate would’ve turned out if there had been an internet back then.

Most of what we “know” about watergate is fake news. And although Nixon may have known - maybe even ordered the break in - he was only doing the same dirty tricks the Democrats and communists have been pulling for decades - let alone all of the suicides from people that could point their finger at the clintons.

What nerve.

And the person that leaked is the one treating classified information irresponsibly.
