Trump Attacks FBI Deputy Director Almost Immediately After Reported Retirement
“90 Days to go?!!!â€
Following his latest round of golf, Donald Trump returned to Twitter to attack FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe just after reports surfaced of his retirement in the coming months.
The Washington Post reported Saturday afternoon that McCabe, amidst Republican attacks, would seek retirement “in a few months when he becomes fully eligible for pension benefits.†Less than two hours later, the Republican President echoed that partisan criticism.
“How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe,†Trump tweeted, “the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?

With a fervent use of exclamation points, he continued: “FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!â€

The president, who has advised he doesn’t “get to watch much television, primarily because of documents†and has attacked the New York Times report that he watches 4-8 hours of television a day, then tweeted about television:
Wow, “FBI lawyer James Baker reassigned,†according to @FoxNews.
