McCabe Firing

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, our law enforcement and intelligence community--most notably, the FBI--is sustaining an unprecedented, coordinated attack led by the President of the United States. No one is above the law in our country, including the President.

FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a 20-year veteran of the FBI, is the latest to fall to this concentrated effort to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign's entanglements with Russia during the 2016 Presidential election.

Incidentally, former FBI Director Mueller has served our Nation for 36 years: as a soldier in the U.S. Navy with a Purple Heart; as a U.S. attorney; and also as FBI Director, including after 9/11 when he oversaw the transformation of the FBI from a domestic law enforcement agency into a global counterterrorism and counterintelligence agency. Wow.

This administration is making every effort to degrade our Federal law enforcement institutions and, even more insidiously, by a negative media campaign to erode public faith in these institutions. Let truth will out.
