Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe is raking in the cash on GoFundMe which he plans to use for his defense. In literally five minutes, it went up $3,000 to $220,000 at 7:30 p.m. EST. As I leave the page at 7:44, it is up to 227,000+.
The appeal included a nice family photo with his wife, two kids, and his dog. Nice touch.
He raised the cap to $250,000 from $150,000 because he has done so well raising funds in only 5 hours by 5,325 people. It has been shared 3,500 times.
In his statement, he portrayed himself as having served honorably in his career that was “distinguished, and unblemished”. His termination, he claims, is “completely unjustified”.
He writes further:
Unfortunately, the need for a legal defense fund is a growing reality. Media reports indicate that at a minimum, there are a number of congressional inquiries that he will be required to respond to, as well as the broader Office of the Inspector General (OIG) investigation that is ongoing, and any potential lawsuits he might consider.
Mr. McCabe’s legal team is being led by former Department of Justice Inspector General Michael R. Bromwich at Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP.
So, you see, the taxpayer’s are paying for his defense. He added that he is currently fighting for his full pension.
This man is accused of lying and leaking by a DoJ that fires no one. The Inspector General Michael Horowitz has the evidence against him. Of that, there is no doubt.

Isn’t it grand? No matter what you do, if you support the left, you will be deemed innocent and will profit from it. The opposite is true of anyone on the right.
It is interesting that this is on the same day that Sessions announced a prosecutor to investigate FBI “errors”. McCabe made a lot of them.
Yes that site has denied funds raised for lesser things than McCabe’s violations.
Looks like he managed over 100K more than the updated goal.
His fellows at the FBI were disgusted his flaunting driving his Porsche 911. So what would those same people think of this.
By the way, I heard one person complain about the GoFundMe site “not allowing” anyone to use their site for legal support.
I’m willing to bet that some of those who would face prosecution if McCabe testifies against them are contributing heavily to his fund. We will likely never know from where the money comes.
Sessions has already improved McCabe’s chance of avoiding being jailed by deciding NOT to appoint a special counsel to investigate the FBI. Even though Jeffy decided to fire McCabe just prior to retirement, he thinks his crimes don’t meet the standards required for a special counsel.
I’d like to know who contributed.
We can predict most of what Sessions will do, and none of it will involve serious criminal investigations.
