On the day the Department of Justice (DOJ) released its damning report on former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, President Donald Trump wrote in a tweet: “No collusion, all made up by this den of thieves and lowlifes!” The “den of thieves and lowlifes” apparently referred to the schemers in the DOJ and FBI under President Barack Obama, including McCabe and James Comey, the fired director of the FBI.
McCabe leaked or authorized a subordinate to leak to the media about an ongoing investigation and lied about it, not once, but four times, to DOJ investigators.
