McCabe strikes again, says Trump is a Russian asset
McCabe is beating the same old drum:
Andrew McCabe, the former FBI Deputy Director who Donald Trump fired in 2018, said on a podcast that the former president was a “de Facto Russian asset.”
When Sir Richard Dearlove, a former head of MI6, the British intelligence service, and co-host of the “One Decision” podcast, asked him if he thought Trump was a Russian asset, McCabe responded, I do, I do.”
Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe in 2018 on the recommendation of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for making “an unauthorized disclosure to the news media” and testimony that “lacked candor” in the FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
McCabe continued, “I don’t know that I would characterize it as [an] active, recruited, knowing asset in the way that people in the intelligence community think of that term. But I do think that Donald Trump has given us many reasons to question his approach to the Russia problem in the United States, and I think his approach to interacting with Vladimir Putin, be it phone calls, face-to-face meetings, the things that he has said in public about Putin, all raise significant questions.”
In other words, Trump was not a “Russian asset,” but we can call him that because he “gave us many reasons” to question his policy toward Russia. We disagree with him on policy, so we can smear him as a traitor.
Why do I bring this up? From conversations I’ve had, there are a number of voters for Kamala who detest Trump because (among other things) they are absolutely convinced he’s a Russian asset. This comes not just from things like the Steele dossier, which they may or may not still believe is real, but more importantly from statements of people like McCabe, as well as the idea that gazillions of Russian bots are online in social media trying to elect Trump.
Here’s the official word on the bots:
“Russia is contemplating how U.S. electoral outcomes in 2024 could impact Western support to Ukraine and probably will attempt to affect the elections in ways that best support its interests and goals,” the intelligence community said in its annual assessment of global threats.
“Russia’s influence actors have adapted their efforts to better hide their hand, and may use new technologies, such as generative AI, to improve their capabilities and reach into Western audiences,” according to the assessment, which was presented to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday.
Russia will continue to employ information warfare to try to divide Western alliances, undermine America’s global reputation and “sow domestic discord, including among voters inside the United States and U.S. partners around the world,” it said.
Remember when the WalkAway movement got going and the Democrats said – falsely – that it was Russian bots? Or, of course, when the Hunter laptop story was Russian disinformation? Good times; good times.
But when their side spews ridiculous rubbish, they don’t ever wear tinfoil hats.
Meanwhile,
On the potential use of NATO Long-range weapons against Russia:
“If they do that, NATO is officially at war with Russia ”
“This would mean that NATO countries, the United States, and European nations are at war with Russia. And if that is the case, considering the fundamental shift in the nature of this conflict, we will make the appropriate decisions based on the threats posed to us.”
Emotional bluster and rash actions are the standard Democrat approach to everything. In foreign affairs, there are potentially dire consequences. Accusing Russia of election interference is baseless, unfounded, childish, and petty – easily shrugged off by the accused. Nevertheless, those accusations are another sign of instability and ill intent. Russia is no doubt tracking the level of ill intent and planning accordingly.
Fun fact: Ted Kennedy was a Russian asset. He contacted then Sec. General Chernenko in 1984, and offered him time on U.S. television, a publicity tour, and some other goodies in exchange for the USSR’s help in defeating Reagan’s 1984 reelection bid.
I think both Zelensky and Putin are of the same frame of mind as Trump; It is time to stop the killing.
They would welcome a reason, or an excuse , to come to an agreement and may be hoping Trump would come up with something where neither country loses face.
Continuing the lies Harris was saying at the debate. The Democrats Propaganda Ministry tells these so many times for years, iam sure many believe it.
It’s absolutely mind boggling that %99 of te media does this. And Fox isn’t far off that page.
While we are misdirected by the Russia-Russia nonsense, we should also ignore the fact that confirmed Chinese agents were found to be working for, or sleeping with, people like Diane Feinstein, Kathy Hochul, and Eric Swalwell.
Trump needs to sue this MF.
TommyJay has hit it. The Ds obsession with (” Rooosa!) is there just to distract how much they are in bed with China.
Andrew McCabe… bottom feeder.
I forget, was Andy McCabe one of the infamous 51 intelligencia apparatchiks?
Or just another traitor?
Dearlove and stefan halper were complicit in the dezinforma against general flynn trying to tie him as a russian spy because of miss lokhova (a whistleblower agzinst the most corrupt bank in russia)
How do i know this because i read backstories on the telegraph
I’ve always wonder, naively I guess, why “I’ll have more flexibility after the election” didn’t count as collusion.
Not to mention a pretty damning bit of dishonesty.
Sociopath.
Dearlove was a party to this

Interesting that so many people, especially Democrats, are so much more concerned about Russia than about China. Both are threats, but it seems clear that the size and dynamist of the Chinese economy makes it the more serious threat.
But, of course, there are a lot more people making or expecting to make money off of China than off of Russia
Meanwhile they let a long time actual russian agent in the special forces for the better part of 20 years peter debbins

This is while they were insisting flynn was a traitor even though he was a patriot
Tell me now, who really has a live worm eating into their brain? What is so disturbing and disgusting about this is too many people believe it.
Insurrectionist scum McCabe, Comey, Strozk, Brennan, Page etc. should be arrested for their crimes, and put together in a holding cell. There are vast numbers of these scum. Maybe a new prison needs to be built for them, like Bukele did for MS-13 in El Salvador.
D-Cover for Chinese corruption? Millions flowed to Xiden, according to documents unearthed by Congressional investigation.
Do any Propaganda Media admit this in their pieces. I’m betting ‘no.’
I recall, and most do, how many were practically salivating at the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. There’s a serious appetite for this sort of thing, as long as it’s directed at Trump. Facts don’t matter.
So….we’ll see more.
Does Putin prefer more or less restrictions on US oil production?
It doesn’t even make sense on the surface.
Skip on September 12, 2024 at 5:21 pm said, see above, and I fear he is right.
I have been forced to the unavoidable conclusion that the majority of American voters are stupid, with poor judgment. After all, did they not vote for Dopey Joe by 53% in 2020?
No they didnt maybe 49% at best
Well it does if youre a democrat
