McCabe: Trump talked to me about his election victory during 'bizarre' job interview

Source: The Hill

Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said President Trump discussed his 2016 election victory during a “bizarre” job interview Trump conducted with him.

Appearing on CBS's “60 Minutes” on Sunday, McCabe spoke at length about his time in the FBI under Trump and his meeting with the president when he was interviewing to be the bureau’s permanent director following former FBI Director James Comey’s firing.

“It was a bit of a bizarre experience,” McCabe said. “I went in for my interview with the President and he began by talking to me about his electoral college results in the state of North Carolina.”

dumpty talked about how he "won the electoral college". It's in quote because to this day I believe there was some hanky panky with the vote counts in MI, PA, WI.

From the very start, even if you add the Russian contingent, there had to be something (I was gonna say "fishy" but I have too much respect for FISH) wrong with the count. Even considering a stacked electoral college.

13. Its Trump's brilliant "I'll know in a couple of minutes" tactic, as he bragged about with Jong-un

I think he throws out these kind of test comments to start any interaction to get a feel for if the other person is in awe of him, afraid of him, someone he can manipulate. Either the person will say "Oh yes that was quite a wonderful result in NC, congratulations! Mr. President" Or they will just stare blankly, mutter a few words and then want to get on with the meeting.........hmmm very suspicious.......why would they just want to deflect from glorifying me?........MUST BE A DEEP STATE ENEMY!
