Rep. Jim Jordan: You Can’t Trust Andrew McCabe,’ But He’s Right About Rod Rosenstein Wire

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) says former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe — who is currently making the media rounds — is not to be trusted.

Except on one crucial point.

Appearing on Fox & Friends Tuesday, the conservative Congressman from Ohio blasted McCabe over his claim that there were discussions exploring the removal of President Donald Trump from office via the 25th amendment.

“He was fired at the FBI, and he’s currently under investigation by the Justice Department,” Jordan said. “He and four other top people at the FBI in that critical eight days in May were trying to put together this scheme to go after the president to remove him from office. And that is scary. ‘Cause all of them unelected, none of them ever faced the voters, and yet they were coordinating and actually working on removing the president of the United States from office which is scary to think about.”

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has denied ever floating the idea of removing Trump. And on this key issue, Jordan takes McCabe’s word — which contradicts Rosenstein’s — at face value.

“Look, you can’t trust Andy McCabe,” Jordan said. “He tries to make himself out to be a boy scout — 60 Minutes tried to make him look like that. You can’t trust him. But…he is the third person who has told us that Rod Rosenstein was serious when he made the comments about wearing a wire, and recording the president, and looking to work with members of the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment.

“I think this just underscores one important thing. We need both individuals — Andy McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, two different stories — you need them both under oath answering questions from Congress…You figure out who is telling the truth when you bring people in, put them under oath and ask them questions so the American people can see what really took place.”
