    Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe hinted at an "inappropriate relationship" between President Donald Trump and Russia during a wide-ranging interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" that has already sparked calls for a congressional investigation.

    Speaking to "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley, McCabe said the FBI had reasonable cause to open a counterintelligence investigation into Trump's connection with the Russian government, a potential national security threat, following the firing of then-FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.

    He also said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was "not joking" when he offered to wear a wire into the White House to "collect evidence" into Trump's motivation for firing Comey.

    Rosenstein and the 25th Amendment

    According to McCabe, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein raised the issue of invoking the 25th Amendment, asking McCabe if he believed other Cabinet officials would "support such an effort."

    "He was discussing other Cabinet members and whether or not people would support such an idea, whether or not other Cabinet members would, shared, his belief that the president was — was really concerning," McCabe said.

    McCabe also noted that Rosenstein offered to wear a wire into the White House, though he said he "couldn't characterize" what Rosenstein hoped to accomplish.

    Reports about Rosenstein considering wearing a wire and invoking the 25th first surfaced last year. The Justice Department has flatly denied the reports, including McCabe's own assertions.
    Investigating Trump and Russia

    McCabe said Trump's actions, such as asking FBI Director James Comey to discontinue the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and the subsequent firing of Comey, led to a counterintelligence investigation.

    "So all those same sorts of facts cause us to wonder, is there an inappropriate relationship, a connection between this president and our most fearsome enemy, the government of Russia?" McCabe said.

    "Are you saying that the president is in league with the Russians?" Scott Pelley of "60 Minutes" asked.

    "I'm saying that the FBI had reason to investigate that," McCabe replied.
    Trump and Putin

    McCabe went further into Trump's relationship with Russia, discussing the way the president spoke about Vladimir Putin.

    According to McCabe, Trump had dismissed concerns about North Korea's ballistic missiles because Putin had told him they didn't have the capability of reaching the United States.

    "Intelligence officials in the briefing responded that that was not consistent with any of the intelligence our government possesses, to which the president replied, 'I don't care. I believe Putin,'" McCabe said. "...It's just an astounding thing to say."
    What happened after Comey was fired

    Comey's abrupt firing in May 2017 meant McCabe, who had worked for two decades at the FBI, was now acting director.

    McCabe described being called to the Oval Office, during which Trump told him that people were "thrilled" about Comey.

    "And he said, 'I heard that you were one of the people that did not support Jim Comey. You didn't agree with him and the decisions that he'd made in the Clinton case. And is that true?' And I said, 'No sir. That's not true. I worked very closely with Jim Comey. I was a part of that team and a part of those decisions.'"

    McCabe described this as the "wrong answer."

    So you start an investigation on a PRESIDENT because you think firing Comey meant he was a Russian asset?
    Or conflicts over NK's abilities to reach the US?
    fucking creep

    AND there was already a long investigation on Trump who WAS a subject of an investigation-
    Comey's lie that he wasn't ..it didn't start with Mueller it went way back

    THEN they tell Trump about the Steele dossier but NOT he was the subject of an investigation
    AND they try a bureaucratic coup by wearing a wire into the OVAL!!

    Hmmm...lies 3 times and says he was "distracted and confused". Seems it was was difficult to keep all his stories straight. Creep.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    One being, who is lying, McCabe or Rosenstein...or both?

    They will have to answer under oath in the Senate. One would think that the House (controlled by Democrats) would want to know who is lying about the 25th Amendment and wearing a wire in the Oval Office. Oh, wait, the Democrats are in control of the House.

    Well, the left appears to believe that the top FBI officials and the top officials at the J/D conspiring to remove a duly elected and sitting president from office, isn't news. Interesting.
