quote:

CNN contributor Andrew McCabe is making waves at the cable news network after a U.S. attorney on Thursday recommended moving ahead with potential charges against the FBI honcho-turned-pundit.


quote:

Some CNN staffers were reportedly aghast when the network hired McCabe in late August, simply because he'd been fired from the FBI for lying. Now that charges against McCabe are seemingly looming, some of the shock has turned to anger and confusion.


quote:

A current CNN on-air personality told Fox News this week that "it erodes our journalistic credibility to have so many highly anti-Trump, former Obama DOJ/security officials without a semblance of balance,” specifically pointing to pundits Samantha Vinograd, Jim Sciutto, Asha Rangappa, Juliette Kayyem and James Clapper, along with McCabe.

“It’s hard to see the justification for hiring him initially since it was publicly documented he’s, best case, a liar,” the on-air personality added. “How will CNN handle it if he’s also soon indicted?


quote:

The second anonymous on-air personality said he seems like a “good guy” in general but crucial blunders will ultimately define him.

He made some colossal mistakes and the fact that he f---ing lied under oath, I have no sympathies for him. How will [CNN] have him on weigh in on anything related to integrity?

The fact that those morons think ANYONE with an active pulse thinks they have any journalistic credibility shows you just how out of touch they really are.

Yep, CNN takes the cake for dumbassery with his hire considering what he did. FOX comes in second with their hiring of Donna Brazile and her "here's the questions Hillary" debacle.

You mean, there are actually a couple of people at CNN who understand what the word "integrity" means?

Spoiler Alert, Mr. CNN on-air celebrity. This is one thing you can't pin on McCabe. CNN totally destroyed any semblance of "journalistic integrity" long before they ever hired Andrew McCabe.

Well, the unnamed CNN source basically proved Trump's argument that they are fake news.

CNN hired McCabe because trump tweeted out against McCabe a few times. And McCabe is extremely anti-trump. So hiring McCabe was CNN's way to thumbing their nose at trump. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hiring McCabe is a way for McCabe to publicly defend himself and CNN to paint him as a victim of the Trump administration while he faces likely a long and tedious prosecution and continue to make Trump look like the bad guy.
