Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe finds 'nauseating similarities' between Biden special counsel report and Hillar

Source: Business Insider

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Friday said the special counsel report on President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents has "nauseating similarities" to the conclusion of the 2016 probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to file charges against Biden for retaining classified documents from his time as Barack Obama's vice president. But the report renewed debate over the 81-year-old Biden's fitness for office due to what Hur called the president's "hazy" memory — which has created a political firestorm as the commander in chief revs up his reelection bid ahead of an expected November rematch against former President Donald Trump.

During an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, McCabe suggested Hur was "attempting to even out the scales" with the report.

“It really felt like it was another instance of a very high-profile investigator who was coming out with a conclusion that he likely knew would not be accepted or embraced by many people," he told Collins.
