McCabe was fired from his position as deputy director of the FBI. President Donald Trump celebrated on Twitter: \"Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrew G. McCabe offers a dramatic and candid account of his career, and an impassioned defense of the FBI's agents, and of the institution's integrity and independence in protecting America and upholding our Constitution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMcCabe started as a street agent in the FBI's New York field office, serving under director Louis Freeh. He became an expert in two kinds of investigations that are critical to American national security: Russian organized crime—which is inextricably linked to the Russian state—and terrorism. Under Director Robert Mueller, McCabe led the investigations of major attacks on American soil, including the Boston Marathon bombing, a plot to bomb the New York subways, and several narrowly averted bombings of aircraft. And under James Comey, McCabe was deeply involved in the controversial investigations of the Benghazi attack, the Clinton Foundation's activities, and Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Threat\u003c\/i\u003e recounts in compelling detail the time between Donald Trump's November 2016 election and McCabe's firing, set against a page-turning narrative spanning two decades when the FBI's mission shifted to a new goal: preventing terrorist attacks on Americans. But as McCabe shows, right now the greatest threat to the United States comes from within, as President Trump and his administration ignore the law, attack democratic institutions, degrade human rights, and undermine the U.S. Constitution that protects every citizen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant, revealing, and powerfully argued, \u003ci\u003eThe Threat\u003c\/i\u003e tells the true story of what the FBI is, how it works, and why it will endure as an institution of integrity that protects America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A rapid-fire G-man memoir...The book is patriotic and oddly stirring.\" - Dwight Garner, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Insightful...provocative...McCabe is a keen observer of detail.\" - \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"McCabe's portrait of the Trump administration and of the president himself is as alarming as any we have seen so far — including those of journalists such as Bob Woodward and former staff such as Cliff Sims.\" - NPR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The account is laced with sharp, amusing characterizations...fans of police procedurals will love his descriptions of FBI culture, and critics of the current administration will find his denouncements satisfying.
