The long awaited interview with Andrew McCabe was broadcast last night on CBS. The topic was of course the con artist's collusion with Russia and his apparent subservience to his Russian handler.
One of the questions posed was why the FBI opened and has continued to pursue an investigation into the con artist's actions for obstruction of justice. McCabe responded that for weeks the con artist had been denigrating the investigation which they viewed as an attempt to "publicly undermine the investigation". McCabe outlined the events:
Comey's words were in a similar vein to those of former FBI general counsel James Baker who, during Congressional testimony, told investigators the FBI was contemplating whether Trump was "acting at the behest of and somehow following directions, somehow executing their will."
During the interview, McCabe related that even after the investigation began, the con artist continued to praise and credit his Russian handler rather than his own people.

Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Trump asked Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to "include Russia" in a memo the President requested outlining reasons to fire Comey (which Rosenstein did not do).
Trump fired Comey.
Trump made public comments linking his firing of Comey to the Russia investigation on NBC.
Trump met in the Oval Office with Russian officials where Trump reportedly said that firing Comey relieved "great pressure."

Even after the investigation was launched, McCabe said the President continued to praise Russia, and described an instance where Trump said he trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin in blatant contradiction with US intelligence.
McCabe told CBS that Trump didn't believe North Korea had done a missile test because Putin told him the rogue regime didn't have the capability or the missiles to carry out tests for missiles that could hit the US. McCabe said Trump said so during a White House intelligence briefing, which an FBI official who was present at the briefing relayed to McCabe.
"Intelligence officials in the briefing responded that that was not consistent with any of the intelligence our government possesses, to which the President replied, 'I don't care. I believe Putin,'" McCabe said.
