Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe continued his media tour on Tuesday evening to promote his new book, and he suggested to CNN that it was “possible” that President Trump could still be in collusion with Russia.

When asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper whether he believes that Trump could still be considered a “Russian asset,” McCabe said, “it’s possible.”

“I think it’s possible. I think that’s why we started our investigation,” he said. “And I’m really anxious to see where Director Mueller concludes that.”

  4. We’re all anxious to see what the Mueller investigation concludes. Unfortunately with the DOJ stance to not indict a President and Bill Barr in place to limit what’s made public, Trump’s culpability may not be reported in time for the nation to act on it.

  5. It’s not “possible,” it’s a goddam certainty.
