The Threat by Andrew G. McCabe

Description

“The Threat” is a book written by Andrew G. McCabe, a former Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States. The full title of the book is “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.” It was published in February 2019.

In this book, McCabe provides an inside account of his time in the FBI and offers his perspective on various issues related to national security, counterintelligence, and his interactions with President Donald Trump. McCabe served in the FBI for over two decades and was involved in numerous high-profile cases, including the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server and the early stages of the Russia investigation.

“The Threat” sheds light on McCabe’s experiences in the FBI, his rise through the ranks, and his efforts to protect the United States from threats both domestic and international. He provides insight into the inner workings of the FBI, the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in combating terrorism, and the impact of political interference on the bureau’s operations.

The book also delves into McCabe’s interactions with President Trump and the subsequent events that led to his firing from the FBI in March 2018, just a day before his retirement. McCabe contends that he was unjustly targeted by the Trump administration as part of a larger effort to undermine the FBI’s independence and credibility.

“The Threat” garnered significant attention upon its release due to its controversial subject matter and the ongoing political climate in the United States. It offers readers a firsthand account of the inner workings of the FBI and provides insights into the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in the modern era.
