    Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe voiced concerns that he could find himself in hot water alongside indicted former FBI Director James Comey, telling CNN anchor Jake Tapper that he believed President Donald Trump was using the Justice Department to attack people he did not like.

    McCabe, who joined CNN as a correspondent after he was fired in 2018 - by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions - spoke with Tapper for Sunday's broadcast of "State of the Union," where he argued that Trump was acting solely from a place of vengeance.

    Tapper set McCabe up with a question about the recently-indicted Comey, saying, "You're an attorney, you spent more than 20 years at the FBI. What do you make of this indictment overall, especially in the context of President Trump exerting public pressure on the Attorney General, on the U.S. Attorney's office in the Eastern District of Virginia. ... What do you make of this all? And also, his promise that he's going to go after other - or he hopes that there will be other political opponents who face prosecution?"

    "I mean, there's only one thing to make of it, Jake," McCabe replied. "It is absolutely what the president himself characterized it as: It's vengeance. This is the revenge tour, it's the tour he promised when he ran for office in 2024. It's what most of us who have fallen in his crosshairs before expected."


    McCabe went on to predict that more people would soon face prosecutions for similar reasons, adding, "His intention is vengeance. That is what he's going after. I don't think there's anything that will stop him."

    "Are you worried that you're going to become a target?" Tapper asked.

    "Of course. Who wouldn't be, right?" McCabe asked.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
