On March 16, 2018, just twenty-six hours before his scheduled retirement from the organization he had served with distinction for more than two decades, Andrew G. 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."
In The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump, 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.
McCabe 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.
The Threat 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.
Important, revealing, and powerfully argued, The Threat 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.

【有聲書】Andrew McCabe和他的患難與共同僚James Comey一樣都是極其有原則有責任感的人。McCabe能把被賦予的職責放在政治因素和個人感情之上實在令人欽佩。McCabe嚴謹的一言一行和Trump齷齪的所作所為形成了鮮明的對比。雖然美國的政治系統能滋生出Trump那樣的毒瘤,但同時也能培養出McCabe和Comey這樣的正直之士。無論什麼樣的政治體系里都需要秉承原則和真理不向淫威... 【有聲書】Andrew McCabe和他的患難與共同僚James Comey一樣都是極其有原則有責任感的人。McCabe能把被賦予的職責放在政治因素和個人感情之上實在令人欽佩。McCabe嚴謹的一言一行和Trump齷齪的所作所為形成了鮮明的對比。雖然美國的政治系統能滋生出Trump那樣的毒瘤,但同時也能培養出McCabe和Comey這樣的正直之士。無論什麼樣的政治體系里都需要秉承原則和真理不向淫威低頭。為了國家的昌盛而去批評當權者的確是有其可取之處的,阿諛奉承只會助紂為虐。此書也相對公開透明地用幾個打擊有組織犯罪和反恐的事例解釋FBI做調查的運作方式。 (展开)
