Jill McCabe, wife of fired FBI official, breaks silence: Trump attacks on family were 'nightmare'

Source: Nbc news..


Trump, the Washington Post reported in January, asked Andew McCabe, during an introductory meeting at the White House last year, whom he voted for in the 2016 race (McCabe reportedly responded that he didn't vote) and expressed anger at him over donations his wife had received during her 2015 race from a political action committee associated with then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, an ally of Hillary Clinton.

Trump would go on to make repeated public references to the campaign donations, suggesting that the contributions were an attempt to influence the FBI’s investigation into Clinton's emails. And, as NBC News reported, even suggested to Andrew McCabe that he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser.

Jill McCabe, in her editorial, ripped Trump's insinuations as "fake and utterly absurd," pointing to the fact that the donations came before her husband became the FBI deputy director.

her family suffered a nightmare at the hands of Trump. On one hand, it's giving him what he wants: proof that he can act like the hand of God. On the other hand, it's a warning of how dangerous he has been and still is. You can't be silent with a bully.

I'm leaning toward the latter attitude.

She's in this neck deep and should go to prison, as well.

Anybody in government, including elected officials, should realize that they could be his next victim. He picks on Republicans as well as Democrats, your party affiliation doesn't matter. Trump is a bully and he deserves to be kicked off of Twitter for good.

I surely hope Jeff Bezos decides to buy Twitter just so he can BAN CHEETO from using it. Enough is enough.
