Deep State McCabe Freaks…
…Raskin Rattled
McCabe said, “t’s a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI, and also for the nation that depends on a highly-functioning, professional, independent FBI. The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate. … [T]he nomination…of Kash Patel as FBI director can only possibly be a plan to disrupt, to dismantle, to distract the FBI and to possibly use it as a tool for the president’s political agenda.”
Raskin said, “Well, undoubtedly, if you look at it historically, for example, during the COINTELPRO period the FBI really was weaponized against Doctor King and the Civil Rights Movement and the Peace Movement. There was, you know decades of the FBI being basically used as a political instrument. There’s an interesting book about that, about J. Edgar Hoover by Beverly Gage and people can look at. ”
He added, “So I haven’t seen what the proof is that the FBI has been weaponized against a political party or the Department of Justice. Of course, this Department of Justice has brought charges against Democratic U.S. Senator in New Jersey, a Democratic Congressman in Texas. And so some people just seem to think that it should go only in one direction. If it doesn’t, then somehow it’s politicized.I think that’s what they mean when they talk about politicization in the Deep State. I mean, the Deep State, nobody’s ever defined it. Apparently it just means anybody who doesn’t do the will of Donald Trump.”
