Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is writing a book about his tumultuous tenure in the Trump administration, titled “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.”

“I wrote this book because the president’s attacks on me symbolize his destructive effect on the country as a whole,” McCabe said in a statement released by his publisher. “He is undermining America’s safety and security, and eroding public confidence in its institutions. His attacks on the most crucial institutions of government, and on the professionals who serve within them, should make every American stand up and take notice.”

  1. Trump will have to tweet his perfunctory, toothless threat to sue for libel and slander. He does it like the rest of us take a piss in the morning. Just to get it out of his system.

  2. Who is the target for these books? I don’t really understand the thought here. Most people already know Trump is a threat. Those that don’t are willfully ignorant and not going to read up on the topic. This will be a “Current Event” book that won’t really hold value into the future for historians.

    What is the logic here? I guess these things sell but I haven’t read any of the Trump Admin books to date. I’ll stick with Woodward as I assume most will if they decide to learn more.

  3. The FBI has been illegally infiltrating and disrupting peaceful civil rights, anti-war, environmental, and other progressive groups for decades with no consequences.

    McCabe and Comey (R-Obama Appointee) were in charge of that.

    McCabe and Comey can both go to Hell.

  4. Can’t say I blame McCabe for writing this book and I hope it sells well for him after the hell he was put through.
    Let the pile on continue…

    I would have used a few more T-words in the title myself, like treason and traitor, but I’m sure the book will connect the dots.

    He’s writing the book, I would think, for historical purposes as well as to correct the record in real time after Trump’s numerous lies. And a little bit of revenge probably tastes sweet too.
