Former FBI Dep Dir McCabe casts doubt on Maxwell interview with DOJ

Disgraced former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe is casting doubt on Ghislaine Maxwell’s DOJ interview.

During an appearance on CNN, McCabe addressed the transcripts that had been released on Friday. He said the content of Maxwell’s interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche seems “suspicious,” and very much like she was looking “to get some sort of benefit” in exchange for the information she provided.

Watch:

“Director, I just want to point out, I mentioned it briefly, but I want to emphasize something I said at the top of the program, and that is that Maxwell‘s first mention of Trump in this interview with Blanche came unprompted,” host Erin Burnett said to McCabe. “Right? He didn‘t even have to ask about him for her to bring him up. And then we played some of the things she went on to say in the most glowing terms, you know, calling him ‘president,’ not by his name. And you actually say that that’s not a coincidence, that the fact that she kept referring to him as president and not by his actual name?”

“Yeah, I just think the entire thing, Erin, is so curious. It’s so suspicious,” McCabe responded. “It when you listen to the tapes, you get the sense that Ghislaine Maxwell went into that room knowing what information she had to deliver to get their attention and to get their approval and to get some sort of benefit that she is pursuing from the administration and the administration in the form of Todd Blanche, went into that room knowing what information he needed, which was what she was going to say about Donald Trump’s involvement or noninvolvement and both sides delivered to each other’s satisfaction.”

“Ghislaine Maxwell, unprompted, spoke glowingly of the president, referred to him only in the most respectful term, which you know, is obviously the way that he prefers to be treated. And we know that at the conclusion of this totally unconventional interview, an interview with someone who is purporting to try to become a government cooperator and has the opportunity to be interviewed by the deputy attorney general. That‘s something that never, ever happens,” he continued. “There are no actual line agents or investigators in the room to serve as witnesses or to document the interview in the normal way. It’s recorded and then immediately released to the public, which is not something you would ever do with the testimony of somebody who you were considering turning into a cooperator. Nothing about this process was conventional or normal, but it does seem that both the administration and Ghislaine Maxwell got exactly what they wanted from it.”
