Democratic Representative Ted Lieu of California responded to President Trump’s recent tweet attack against FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, calling it a “gift that keeps on giving.”

“Trump has tweeted quite a bit about career FBI official Andrew McCabe, who could be called as a witness against Trump in an Obstruction of Justice case. Trump’s Twitter feed is the gift that keeps on giving. Merry Christmas Robert Mueller,” Lieu wrote on Twitter Sunday.

Over the weekend, the president posted a series of tweets slamming McCabe.

“How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?” Trump tweeted.

He continued targeting McCabe on Sunday, using a quote from Fox News.

“@FoxNews-FBI’s Andrew McCabe, ‘in addition to his wife getting all of this money from M (Clinton Puppet), he was using, allegedly, his FBI Official Email Account to promote her campaign. You obviously cannot do this. These were the people who were investigating Hillary Clinton,’” Trump wrote on Twitter.

McCabe has repeatedly been criticized by the president and congressional Republicans in the recent past.

As the Washington Post explains, “[McCabe[ holds a unique position in the political firestorm surrounding the FBI. He was former director James B. Comey’s right-hand man, a position that involved him in most of the FBI’s actions that vex President Trump and in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state.”

Many intelligence officials have expressed their growing concern over Trump’s attacks on the FBI.

“Trump is attacking senior FBI officials at a time when the bureau is working hand-in-hand with Robert Mueller, a former FBI director, on the Russia probe,” Axios notes.
