Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe is apparently once again accepting donations.
In a little-noticed report by NPR last Thursday, McCabe’s lawyer Michael Bromwich revealed that his client was heading to the trough of charity for the second time in order to fund myriad legal battles.
According to that report, McCabe’s newly-established legal defense fund would help the embattled ex-official wage legal warfare on various fronts including: (1) responding to congressional investigations; (2) engaging with the U.S. Attorney’s Office; (3) filing a potential wrongful termination lawsuit over his for-cause firing; and (4) a theoretical defamation case against President Donald Trump.[…]
In other words, many of the reasons given for McCabe’s new defense fund have already been fund-raised around. Except for one, at least: the potential wrongful termination lawsuit. The inclusion of a reference to the potential wrongful termination suit is a notable break from McCabe’s past legal fundraising.
