Andrew McCabe rankled Donald Trump before he was elected President of the U.S. Before 2016 election, Trump erroneously claimed that McCabe, then an Assistant Director in the FBI oversaw the investigation into Hillary’s email server as his wife received $675,000 in campaign funds from Clinton political allies. McCabe had nothing to do with the email investigation until three months after his wife’s campaign had ended. Further, once McCabe had been promoted and thus had some supervisory responsibility for the Hillary investigation, he did not make any significant investigatory decisions.
McCabe began his service as an FBI agent in New York City investigating the Russian mafia. One of McCabe’s cases (described in McCabe’s book, The Threat), involved a Russian mob boss, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, who was indicted for money laundering related to a gambling ring being run out of Trump Tower. Numerous books about Donald Trump note his involvement in money laundering with the Russian mob. Is it possible that Trump’s disdain for McCabe, and the final push to have him removed, was due to what McCabe probably knew about Trump’s dealings with the Russian mob?
Trump’s possible ties to the Russian mob, which is inextricably tied to the Russian security services, may also help explain why McCabe opened a counter-intelligence investigation into Trump. Unlike most criminal investigations, counter-intelligence investigations explore every aspect of the subject. Besides helping to ensure that the inquiry into Trump would be difficult to sweep under the rug, a counter-intelligence investigation broadened what could be covered.
