McCabe also rebutted White House officials’ attempts to minimize the Russia probe — declaring it a “highly significant investigation” that had not and would not be deterred.
“Simply put, sir, you cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing, protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution,” he said in response to a question from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
McCabe also rebutted and failed to report that he and his wife had received three quarters of a million dollars from the guy running Hillarys campaign, who McCabe was investigating, until he got busted for not reporting it.

McCabe says FBI call not to prosecute Clinton angered some agents, defends Comey
“I think morale's always been good, but there were folks within our agency that were frustrated with the outcome of the Hillary Clinton case and some of those folks were very vocal about those concerns,” McCabe testified.
McCabe stepped into the role of acting director Wednesday after Trump dismissed Comey, purportedly over his conduct during the 2016 probe into Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state. Comey announced at a press conference last July that, despite concluding Clinton had been “extremely careless” in the handling of classified material, he would not recommend prosecution.
McCabe’s comments at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing mark the first public recognition from the FBI that some agents were angry at the decision not to prosecute.
