Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said President Trump is on the precipice of retaliating against his political foes using the Justice Department.

“There’s absolutely nothing to stop it, and I think we saw that again today in his comments in the Oval Office when the president, after talking about how bad he felt for Roger Stone, then rebounded into talking about how insistent he is that James Comey and I be prosecuted and thrown in jail,” McCabe told CNN on Wednesday.
