Former Top FBI Official: Feds Should ‘Focus on Right-Wing Extremism’
Have you ever wondered what disgraced former deputy FBI directors do after trying to stage a coup and lying under oath? Apparently, they give talks about āprotecting democracyā at top-rated institutions of higher learning. Indeed, this last Thursday the University of Chicago invited former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe to join a panel of partisans to discuss the Jan 6 āinsurrection.ā
McCabe was fired as the deputy FBI director for leaking sensitive information about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and then lying about it under oath. He also took part in spying on the Donald Trump campaign through a secret warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court. . .
Of course, neither the University of Chicago nor McCabe acknowledged the irony in him discussing the integrity of ādemocracyā in America on Thursday evening. In fact, what McCabe said at the University of Chicago event on Jan. 6, 2022 is even more shocking than his invitation to speak in the first place. Below are four of the most appalling assertions and policy proposals McCabe made at the public event.
1. Conservatives Are in The Same Category As Islamic TerroristsĀ
McCabe likened conservatives to members of the Islamic Caliphate: āI can tell you from my perspective of spending a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and Islamic extremist and extremists of all stripesā¦ is that this group shares many of the same characteristics of those groups that weāve seen radicalized along entirely different ideological lines,ā he said.
McCabe went on to describe the rise of the Islamic caliphate in Syria and how Islamic extremists were radicalized across socioeconomic, educational, and racial lines, likening it to the āmass radicalizationā of the political right across demographics. Thatās right, according to McCabe a grandma who shares a Federalist article on Facebook and your uncle with a āLetās Go Brandonā coffee mug are in the same category as a jihadist who killed 49 people at an Orlando nightclub.
2. Parents at School Board Meetings Pose A āThreat To National Securityā
āPolitical violence [is] not just confined to the Capitol,ā McCabe asserted. āItās going on in school boards around the country. Itās going on in local elections. Itās happening, you know, even to health-care workers.ā According to this politically protected former FBI no. 2, the āpolitical violenceā occurring recently at school board meetings and during local elections is a āvery diverse and challenging threat picture.ā
If you havenāt heard already, Democrats are branding parents who oppose child mask mandates and racist critical race theory indoctrination as ādomestic terrorists.ā
McCabe said moms and dads who stand up for their childrenās health and education at school board meetings in ways Democrats disagree with are very dangerous. So dangerous that it is actually āessentialā we have a ārapid and complete response by law enforcement at the state, local and federal level to this sort of political violenceā¦ā
Holding Americaās parents āaccountableā is not enough for McCabe. He wants to make sure that federal agencies also put āout that message that this sort of conduct that both horribly victimizes individuals, but also serves to undermine our democratic processā is āconsidered a threat to national security [that is] not tolerated.ā
3. McCabe Wants More Surveillance of āMainstreamā ConservativesĀ
āIām fairly confident,ā McCabe said, ā[that] the FBI [and other agencies] have reallocated resources and repositioned some of their counterterrorism focus to increase their focus on right-wing extremism and domestic violent extremists.Ā And I think thatās obviously a good idea.ā
But McCabe wants more. McCabe asserted that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI need to stop merely focusing on the āfringes of the right-wing movement,ā in order to ācatch this threatā of the āright.ā
āAre you going to catch this threat if your focus is only on the traditional, right-wing extremist, those groups that we know about, the quote-unquote, fringes of the right-wing movement?ā asked McCabe. āAnd I think the answer to that is no.ā . . .
McCabe wants to get around constitutional obstacles that restrict the abuses of federal agencies. He explained that the path to granting the feds more power to spy on and punish āextremists,ā a.k.a. conservatives, is by implementing federal penalties against ādomestic terrorism.ā
A measure like this would grant domestic agencies the intelligence capabilities of the international terrorism-focused National Counterterrorism Center. It would, McCabe says, āgive investigators the ability to begin investigating when folks are plotting or planning or organizing to use violence for the purpose of coercing the population or influencing governmentā¦ā
4. McCabe Believes No One Is Above The Law (Except Himself)
Ironically, one of McCabeās last remarks was a proclamation of equality under the law. āWhether you are a Trump supporter or a Biden supporter, right, left, or otherwise, we should all be able to agree on the principle that no one is above the law,ā stated McCabe.
āā¦ [F]rom the lowliest trespasser on January 6, up to the highest-ranking government officials who may have been aware of a plan that would ultimately lead to violence in the Capitolāāthose people should be held accountable, period,ā he announced. āAnd if we canāt do that, that is just another sign that we are becoming a non-functioning democracy.ā
Ironically, McCabeās firing for repeatedly breaking the law was expunged from the record only because he settled with a partisan Biden Department of Justice. If no one is above the law, as McCabe claims to support, then he would be in jail. Of course, McCabe is above the law. Only dissenting conservatives, in his view, deserve the suspicion and wrath of unelected federal agencies.
Disturbingly, the University of Chicago does not care about national introspection post-January 6, 2021. If it did, it would not have invited McCabe, of all people, to speak about āprotecting democracy.ā . . .
To the elites in America ā Democrats like McCabe, university administrators, and professors ā January 6 is the key to labeling their political opponents as dangerous, āwhite supremacist extremistsā and enacting new policy accordingly.
Americaās universities are now indoctrination machines that shape the minds of the next generation. Academia openly exploits its power and rewrite history to serve their illiberal agenda.
Sadly, McCabeās dishonest version of January 6 is happily accepted by the academic elites who invited him Thursday night. His frighteningly despotic views and policy prescriptions will likely be accepted and implemented by his young listeners.
