America’s conservatives are as bad as Islamic terrorists, says fired FBI exec
Fired FBI executive Andrew McCabe says America’s conservatives are as bad as Islamic terrorists and the federal government needs vastly increased powers to spy on them.
The stunning words from McCabe came during his recent speech at the University of Chicago, and were captured by a report in The Federalist about his comments on conservatives.
“I can tell you from my perspective of spending a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and Islamic extremist and extremists of all stripes … is that this group shares many of the same characteristics of those groups that we’ve seen radicalized along entirely different ideological lines,” he said.
The report explained, “McCabe was fired as the deputy FBI director for leaking sensitive information about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and then lying about it under oath. He also took part in spying on the Donald Trump campaign through a secret warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court.”
McCabe was talking about “democracy,” but the report noted, “The dossier he used to obtain the surveillance warrant was funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and, in an ironic twist, was itself the product of Russian disinformation. McCabe and his allies in corporate mediate justified all sorts of similar illegal and undemocratic tactics to discredit and attempt to unseat President Trump.”- READ MORE
