Wife of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe is publicly hitting back at President Trump

The wife of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe is publicly hitting back at President Trump for his series of attacks on her husband – saying it was a tactic to try to tarnish the Russia probe.

Trump has repeatedly inveighed against Andrew and Jill McCabe, though in the case of Jill McCabe he didn't do so by name. As a top FBI official, McCabe worked with former director James Comey and had overseen the bureau's Hillary Clinton email probe and Russia investigation. He also helped engineer the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation.

'He attacks people to make his misdeeds look like they were okay,' Jill McCabe told the Atlantic in a deep look at what it terms Trump's 'War on American Institutions.' 'If Andrew was corrupt, then the investigation was corrupt and the investigation was wrong. So they needed to do everything they could to prove Andrew McCabe was corrupt and a liar,' she told the magazine.

rump first went after McCabe in 2016 after report his wife's congressional campaign got major support from Virginia Democratic Party and Terry McAuliffe. Her ill-fated campaign got $700,000 from the state party and from a McAuliffe super PAC – though according to the article McCabe took the necessary steps to insulate himself from the physician's campaign. He had informed FBI superiors about it in advance.

An inspector general would later issue a stinging report over McCabe's conduct in another matter, blasting him for a leak that 'effectively confirmed the existence' of an investigation of the Clinton Foundation, at a time when McCabe was under fire over handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe. Before firing Comey, Trump repeatedly peppered him with questions about 'the McCabe thing,' according to Comey's testimony.

'Our days were numbered. It was gradual, but by May we knew it could end really terribly,' Jill McCabe said.

The article describes he 'humiliating' position Andrew McCabe was in when Trump in one-on-one meetings brought up his wife's campaign. ''Yeah, that must have been really tough. To lose. To be a loser,' McCabe recounted.

Trump repeatedly tweeted about the McCabes, and ended up firing the FBI official right before his scheduled retirement, denying full pension benefits.

'Problem is that the acting head of the FBI & the person in charge of the Hillary investigation, Andrew McCabe, got $700,000 from H for wife!' Trump wrote in July 2017.

Trump tweeted in December of that year: 'How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin' James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife's campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?''

Then he tweeted: 'FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!'
