President Donald Trump has few friends in the media, so it’s not surprising that he would take umbrage at the CNN hiring of disgraced former FBI agent Andrew McCabe.
The Commander-in-Tweet has recently lamented the apparent downgrading of Fox News sympathies from Juan Williams and its hiring of Donna Brazile.

He was ultimately fired in 2018 after the Justice Dept. found he leaked to the media, then lied to investigators about the blabber.

Andrew McCabe: fired for lying to the FBI, caught by the Inspector General for unauthorized media leaks, and—worst of all—one of the ring-leaders in spreading the debunked and disastrous "Russian collusion" conspiracy theory.
His reward? A paid CNN contract.
Comical.
