Report: Andrew McCabe Targeted Trump After Comey Firing, Using ‘Dossier’ AuthorJoel B. Pollak 1 Jan 2025
Former acting FBI Director-turned-CNN contributor Andrew McCabe ordered a criminal probe into then-President Donald Trump days after he fired FBI Director James Comey, using the discredited source of the Russia “dossier.”
That is the claim made by RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry, based on newly-released documents.
The FBI initiated its “Russia collusion” investigation in mid-2016 based on the “dossier” compiled by a former British spy, Christopher Steele, who was working for the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. Steele’s work had first been bankrolled by Trump’s conservative critics, then by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (which hid the expenses from the Federal Elections Commission). The “dossier” was soon exposed as a fraud, and the FBI fired Steele as a paid source after he leaked information to the media. Nevertheless, the FBI referred to the dossier in applying for renewals of warrants for surveillance on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Now, it appears that McCabe turned to Steele again in an effort to build a criminal case against Trump, a sitting president, apparently in retaliation for Trump’s firing of Comey (who then triggered a Special Counsel investigation).
