Andrew McCabe filed a lawsuit alleging that his removal was part of a scheme by President Donald Trump to remove government employees 'because they were not politically loyal to him.'

later found McCabe had "lacked candor, including under oath" in describing those disclosures to investigators.

Earlier in the year, CNN drew scrutiny by hiring another former Justice Department official, Sarah Isgur Flores. McCabe's tenure under Trump was marked by frequent tangles with the president, particularly after McCabe rose to acting FBI director in May 2017 following the firing of James Comey, Trump's first FBI chief. Trump ultimately nominated FBI Director Christopher Wray for the top post.

"Because Trump perceived [McCabe] to be affiliated with Clinton and the Democratic Party, and because [McCabe] did not vote for Trump and rebuffed Trump's requests to express partisan support for Trump, Trump decided to have [McCabe] removed from government," attorneys for McCabe allege in court papers.

WildBillAG Another fake news person. Who is biased against Trump. I wonder what this soap opera is going to be like.

Makes about as much sense as FOX News hiring Donna Brazil. A known cheat and liar. However, that’s in big demand in public eyes and ears. Unbiased truth is too scary for most. It’s what happens when a country has been trained and buys in to entitlement thinking.

Lol. Sparred? Don’t you mean Lied, Leaked and committed numerous crimes.

Lock Him Up!

Wow! What a surprise.

Candor = Credibility He'll fit right in CNN.

randombott Great .. Great Job CNBC!!

One more lying criminal on CNN.

Sparred with Trump? And....was fired by the FBI for lying multiple times you mean.

Typical

So CNN is getting to be just as dirty as NBC with its stable of former CIA and BushCrimeFamily offspring. TheFourthEstateIsDead PropagandaMSM

When Democrats take over McCabe should get his job back!!!!!

Grifters go to Fox. Professionals go to CNN

How surprising. A Trump hating disgruntled ex-FBI figure attempting to cash in and seek revenge by jumping in bed with a biased leftist news network whose agenda is hellbent on demonizing the POTUS to attempt to get a lesser exceptional anti-Christian candidate in there.

McCabe lied under oath. Why isn't he in prison?

wtf MSNBC you let my boyfriend get away

Sparred with Trump? You mean, was fired by Trump, a day before his retirement, due to unhinged conspiracy theories, because Trump's a psychotic monster?

I don't agree w/this decision. He's prob a great guy, but his lawsuit should be settled before he becomes a contributor. The perception is that that he behaved unethically and/or illegally and if he loses the suit, CNN has egg on their face. Not a good thing.

Hurry up before he gets indicted!!!

This should be interesting

Oh cool. I like him.

hilarysontag Nice !!! I like that guy !!!!

Hmmm...

When the IG report comes out McCabe is gonna have a really bad day.

Sarah Huckabee to Fox. McCabe to CNN. journalism suffers death by a million cuts ( and MSNBC with shrinks diagnosing Trump last night? Sigh).

Let's see him doing that while wearing an orange jumpsuit.

I love listening to Director McCabe! I will be watching!

TheBlueDjin Good

Shocker

Sounds about like CNN.

This CNN toilet bowl is full of SH*T and it keeps getting fuller! The lever must be broken to flush it!!!

The inspector general determined he lied under oath three separate occasions. Referred him to the AG for charges. This move makes sense

Perfect fit for CNN 😂😂😂 is Strzok still unemployed? Maybe MSNBC

This is one of those times when I have to not only log off twitter, but move my laptop to another part of the house.

CNN: the headquarters for fake news and dirt bag contributors.

Good for Andy! If you want to learn how nuts and bolts of the FBI read his book.

I’ll make sure McCabe contributes where and when it really matters.

Gross

A chain of fools!

Thank you, CNN!

Wasn’t he also fired from the FBI? 😂

Good best of all good things

Hope he gets his pension while trump and Barr go to prison winner

He will be going to jail soon. ( Andrew McCabe )

He won't have that job long he is going to prison

What a joke!

Good. I'm listening to the audiobook version of his excellent book. He'll be a fascinating addition to any news org.

Ridiculously predictable, I heard James Comey willl be doing a show about integrity after the new Elizabeth Warren show ‘Cooking Breakfast Native American Style’

That’s the headline you’re going with? Really? Be a real news source, he is best known as a leaker fires from the FBI.

Lol

Enjoy having Him arrested on air= makes great credible programming = 2 bad no one is watching....🦗🦗🦗🦗

“Sparred with Trump”? He was fired for leaking classified information and lying about it under oath. That is your headline. You choose to phrase it like this but condem the hiring of SHS at FoxNews? No wonder a majority of Americans have no trust in NBCNews

who cares....CNN will be bankrupt very soon.

so ugly

AnitaNelam Ugh

Get that shmoney Andrew!🙌🏿

Hahahaha the MAGAts are gonna be triggered af. 🤣🤣🤣

More like 'Disgraced former top FBI official, who was fired for repeatedly lying...'

Isnt he under DOJ investigation?

This is great news. Smart guy who brings a lifetime of experience in government to the table.

Great. More criminals like John Dean the felon and disbarred attorney

He served and protected our country for years. Something draft dodging, dictator worshipping, self dealing, malignant narcissist Trump knows nothing about. Bravo CNN.

This is getting ridiculous

Hahahahaha

I’d watch that.

Great news!

Of course he is

Hey brianstelter what’s your feelings on this lying ex government employee? It’s CNN so it’s ok? Fraud

Shocking

Sparred with President Trump ? Lmao. This man was fired for lying and leaking !!! What a disgrace for CNN. Anyone else would be in jail !

NOT Sparred with our BelovedPOTWorld! He’ll be INDICTED doon! FakeFakeNews Shame on you

McCabe is a great move for CNN! Career public servant! Meanwhile, Fox snags Sarah Huckleberry Sin! How predictable is that? Rather than a set with a couch. Fox is going all out, building Sarah a barn set with bails of hay, live 🐓 chickens, & daddy pickin’ guitar. Beat that CNN!

Same guy fired from the FBI, who's being investigated by the IG? That guy?

You mean former FBI official that should be in prison has joined network he probably leaked information to.

Jesus christ... I'm so tired of politicians getting jobs in the media! Can't they find a rock & crawl under? Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Fox, Clair McCaskill on another. Why we don't have deserving people in journalism?

This way the establishment can cry 'it's an attack on the free press!', when he gets indicted. A necessary defense for a complicit media.

CNNPolitics is a disgrace in America. Don’t watch and will never watch. FoxNews GOP RealSaavedra realDonaldTrump Jim_Jordan

Needs to be in jail.

He didn't just 'spar with Trump'. He was fired for lying under oath and leaking to the media. CNBC is deceitful.

Just as well, would probably be an unsuccessful surgery removing CNN ‘s dick from his mouth anyways....

Another reason not to watch CNN.

Birds of a feather...

Good for him!

Interesting

It won’t improve their declining ratings... They are scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

What a joke. I'm surprised JohnJHarwood didn't try and hire him first.

I Look forward to his insight. If he's even 1/2 as amazing as Chuck Rosenberg then CNN scored big!

Perfect place for him CNNBusiness realDonaldTrump

He lied under oath, which apparently is a prerequisite for working in MSM and especially at CNN .

Is this from The Onion TheOnion ...such a joke

Did they outbid PSMNBC?

Sparred is a funny way of saying 'lied about'

Perfect fit. I love that of the players are lining up, can't wait for the next round. Lefty should win if POTUS is so bad, went well in the first round, errr. WSJ

You mean FIRED from the FBI.

lol...of course he is.

*shocked face*

Lmao
