RUSH EXCERPT:
McCABE: “Yeah, it’s unbelievable. I mean, look, we don’t train at quantico for, “Here’s what to do when you think you need to investigate the president of the United States.” It’s just not a topic that we talk about. But what we do train on is we say, “Look, these are the authorities we have. And this is how we lawfully execute them.” When we have information or facts that indicate a crime may have been committed or that a threat to national security may exist, then we are obligated as the F.B.I. To investigate that matter, whether it’s the president or anybody else. We don’t open investigations because we like someone or don’t like them or because they’re a Republican or a Democrat. We open investigations when we have the information that would predicate an investigation. We had that in this instance, undeniably.”
