Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe Thursday rejected assertions by the White House that FBI employees had lost faith in James Comey and that the bureau's probe into Russian election meddling was one of its most minor concerns.
"I hold Director Comey in the absolute highest regard. I have the highest respect for his considerable abilities and his integrity," McCabe told members of the Senate intelligence committee. He said Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, enjoyed "broad support within the FBI and still does to this day." He added, "The majority, the vast majority of FBI employees enjoyed a deep, positive connection to Director Comey." On Wednesday, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House spokeswoman, said the President "and the rest of the FBI" had lost confidence in Comey. She said the White House had heard from "countless" members of the FBI to that effect.
McCabe also contradicted another statement by Sanders in Wednesday's White House briefing when she said that the Russia investigation was "probably one of the smallest things" on the FBI's plate.
"We consider it to be a highly significant investigation," McCabe said, but declined to give details of the manpower involved in the probe.
The acting FBI director also said there has been no effort to impede the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the election, but vowed to inform a Senate panel if the White House tried to intervene.

Obama golfed because as he has said it was his only chance to be outdoors. But the first 100 days it was Obama I Trump 1 Ad Trump isn't getting it done nor one piece of legislation has been passed and signed into law, and Trump has admitted its harder than he anticipated being president and he misses his former life he had a good life and should have stuck to it He has no under standing of how government works , of history and as George Will said he simply doesn't understand what it is like to know something. His problem is, all he knows is what he sees on TV he does not read books

What is it with this obsession over President Trump's tax returns? Do you really have to see how he manages his finances that badly? Is this a matter of life and death or something? Newsflash! How Donald Trump organizes his personal finances is nobody's business but his, and it has absolutely no bearing on his fitness to occupy the Oval Office. Now, if there's some law or regulation or something that makes him releasing his personal finances a mandatory requirement to holding office, then let's get it going and make him cough it up. Otherwise, let it go, will you? (For crying out loud!)
