McCabe's legacy

The FBI developed a backup plan to protect evidence in its Russia investigation soon after the firing of FBI Director James Comey in the event that other senior officials were dismissed as well, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions.

[...]

Andrew McCabe, who became acting director after Comey was fired, asked investigators to develop a plan to ensure evidence would be protected.

[...]

The goal was to ensure that the information collected under the investigations, which included probes of Trump associates and possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign, would survive the firings or reassignments of top law enforcement officials.

Asked about the AP report when he appeared Tuesday on CBS’ “The Late Show,” McCabe wouldn’t elaborate on what the backup plan entailed. “That’s our job. That’s our job to prepare for eventualities,” he told host Stephen Colbert.

“I wanted to make sure that our case was on solid ground and if somebody came in behind me and closed it and tried to walk away from it, they would not be able to do that without creating a record of why they made that decision.”

[...]

McCabe added: “We needed to know what we would do if Director Mueller was suddenly fired and his team was disbanded, and what we needed to do in that circumstance was to be able to take our cases back and continue those investigations. That’s kind of what we thought through.”

I'd be very interested to see what the plan was.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
