McCabe: There’s Not Much Talk About What We’re Doing About the ‘Insurrectionists’

‘I think people would like to have seen a bit more references to accountability’

EXCERPT:

MCCABE: “No question. No question. People in law enforcement and people within I think government more broadly want to hear national political figures to include, of course, the president to come out and absolutely call out political violence. Everything from local school board officials to local election officials, to our — my own former colleagues at the FBI, no place in our country right now. They sense very personally and daily, the rising tide of threats that they face, and I think those things will be taken positively. On the other hand, I think people would like to have seen a bit more references to accountability. There really wasn’t much talk about what we’re doing about those insurrectionists, it was merely calling out the fact that nobody should support an insurrection. So, I think it’s a positive moment for those folks in law enforcement and in government but maybe would like to have seen more as well.”
