Ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe claimed intelligence officials under Obama may flee the U.S. if Trump wins in November.
War Room host Steve Bannon called out disgraced ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s panicked calls for Deep Staters to flee the country should President Trump retake the White House, warning that they can run but they can’t hide.
McCabe this week on CNN fretted that he and fellow intelligence officials from the Obama administration will be likely be prosecuted and jailed if Trump is elected in November.
It’s terrifying. It’s frightening. I have a lot of conversations with former colleagues, people who are or were in the intelligence and law enforcement community and may have worked in the Obama administration and other places.
People are really trying to assess, ‘What is life going to be like if Donald Trump wins a second term?’ On a very personal level, I mean these are torturous discussions with their family members about whether or not they have to leave the country to avoid being unconstitutionally and illegally detained. I mean people are actually worried about being thrown in jail or grabbed in some sort of extrajudicial detention.
Bannon said McCabe has every reason to be worried.
“Andrew McCabe, Mr. FBI tough guy…why is he wetting himself on National TV? He’s DAMN scared because he understands the end is near,” the former White House strategist under Trump said on War Room Saturday.

“Get your passport, get the hell out the country because hey, we’re gonna use the long arm of the law…we’re going to grab you back, bro. Totally constitutional and inside the rule of law, which you didn’t do in trying to destroy this Republic,” he said, referring to the FBI’s trumped up and unlawful Russia collusion witch hunt against Trump.
“You’re going to get a taste of American justice by the rule of law based on English Common Law,” Bannon continued. “And guess what bro? You ain’t gonna like it one bit. Your crimes and your treason…[ex-FBI Director James] Comey, all of you. Go ahead, go to the ends of the Earth. We will hunt you down and bring you back and you will stand accountable before the American people.”
Bannon reminded McCabe that he “should be very worried” because no matter how far he runs, America has extradition treaties with “virtually every country in the world.”
“You can go ahead and run and run as far as you want. We’re going to come and get you. And it’s gonna be totally constitutional and totally by the rule of law,” he said.

“It’s not going to be extrajudicial at all. You know the crimes you’ve committed. You know what you’ve done. And that’s [Deputy Attorney General] Lisa Monaco, [Attorney General] Merrick Garland, all of them. FBI, DOJ, the intelligence agencies, CIA,” he added.
McCabe was fired by the FBI in 2018 after Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded he repeatedly lied to the bureau — including under oath — over self-serving leaks to the media about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and Clinton Foundation investigation.
