Andrew McCabe on Dan Bongino as FBI Deputy Dir.: How Is He Going to ‘Competently’ Do the Job Without ‘Knowledge’ and ‘Experience?’

EXCERPT:

MCCABE: “You know, I have great concerns for the FBI and for its people. You know, you’ve taken someone who knows nothing about the organization, has no experience with the FBI and put him in the highest position an agent can possibly occupy. He will be responsible on a day-to-day basis for all of the FBI’s intelligence collection and investigative authority. People will walk into his office one after another, after another, every single day, and confront him with some of the most confounding problems in unbelievably important investigations, issues in which the safety of our country is hanging in the balance, and they’re going to expect him to look back at them, make quick decisions based on the law, based on the facts, not on his politics. And so, I just — I’m scratching my head as to how he’s going to be able to do that. There’s not a single Deputy Director in the history of the 117-year history of the organization who didn’t have that role until they had already spent an entire career in the FBI, understanding its people, its authority, its capabilities and its mistakes, the places where you have to be really careful to keep the wheels on the road. So, I think he’s in for a real challenge.”
