Politico is out with a new report about who would likely serve as former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe’s character witnesses if he faces trial:
NEW: If Andrew McCabe ultimately does face charges, he’ll have some big names lined up as character witnesses. Over a dozen high-ranking ex-officials have committed to defending him, including Eric Holder, John Brennan, James Clapper and Susan Rice. https://t.co/i6j2G8ctfK

The Washington Examiner’s Becket Adams helped point out just how much character is in those potential witnesses for McCabe:
lmaooooooo
1. Holder: first AG held in contempt
2. Brennan: admitted to lying about spying on the U.S. Senate
3. Clapper: perjury
4. Rice: Bergdahl is a hero, a YouTube video caused Sept. 11, 2012 https://t.co/PDWV1Jatna— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) September 16, 2019
With “character witnesses” like those, McCabe wouldn’t need any hostile ones.
Update:
Looks like somebody might have reconsidered:
UPDATE: McCabe's spokesperson now says Brennan, Rice, Holder won't be testifying as character witnesses for him after all, despite calling the full witness list (below) "accurate" just a few hours ago. https://t.co/i6j2G8ctfK pic.twitter.com/Gzff6ZyFJd
