Donald Trump, referring to the well-known Russiagate investigation, wrote on Twitter: “Mueller's investigation should never have started, because there was no collusion and no crime. It was based on fraudulent activity and a bogus dossier paid for by the corrupt Hillary and the Democrats and misused in the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for surveillance of my campaign. HUNT FOR WITCHES! ".
Immediately after his dismissal, the US president had already tweeted: “Andrew McCabe fired, a great day for hard working FBI men and women, a great day for Democracy. The hypocritical James Comey (former director of the FBI, ed.) Was his boss and had made McCabe his choir boy. He knew all about the lies and corruption that was at the top of the FBI ”.
The Department of Justice, announcing McCabel's dismissal, stated that an internal investigation revealed that McCabe had passed information to the media without authorization and was not truthful "on several occasions" with the department's inspector general. "The FBI expects - commented Attorney General Jeff Sessions - that all its employees adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity and responsibility".
