At the beginning of today\u2019s confirmation hearing for Christopher Wray<\/a>, President Donald Trump\u2019s choice to head the FBI, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley used his opening remarks to take numerous shots at acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-071317-Senator-Grassley.jpg\")
“The Iowa Republican first took aim at McCabe, who was put in charge of the FBI when Trump fired James Comey, over the acting head\u2019s wife and her political activities. ‘The previous director James Comey said that the people of the FBI don\u2019t give a rip about politics but Mr. Comey installed as his deputy director a man whose wife ran for the Virginia State Senate and accepted almost a million dollars from the Virginia governor\u2019s political machine,\u2019 Grassley exclaimed.”<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worse than that. Hillary Clinton even raised money for McCabe\u2019s wife\u2019s campaign. The senator wasn\u2019t finished, however. “He went on to rattle off a number of other indiscretions he felt disqualified McCabe from capably carrying out his duties in a non-partisan and ethical manner. This included calling out McCabe for being named in a sexual discrimination complaint by a female FBI agent.<\/p>\n
“But most of his ire seemed to center on McCabe\u2019s apparent disdain for former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, leading Grassley to wonder aloud why McCabe had not recused himself from the FBI investigation into Flynn. ‘According to press reports, three FBI employees personally witnessed McCabe making disparaging remarks about Flynn before and during the Russian investigation yet Mr. MccCbe never recused himself from the Flynn investigation,\u2019 Grassley sternly noted.”<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t see this. You don\u2019t see Republicans in the Senate fighting back like this. Three cheers for Grassley, of all people. He fired both barrels at McCabe today, essentially saying he had no business being acting director, that he\u2019s conflicted all over the ballpark here by his attitude toward Flynn and his wife seeking political office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
