https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-asked-the-acting-fbi-director-whom-he-voted-for-during-oval-office-meeting/2018/01/23/2cb50818-0073-11e8-8acf-ad2991367d9d_story.html?utm_term=.5d153a642b55Shortly after President Trump fired his FBI director in May, he summoned to the Oval Office the bureaus acting director for a get-to-know-you meeting.
The two men exchanged pleasantries, but before long, Trump, according to several current and former U.S. officials, asked Andrew McCabe a pointed question: Whom did he vote for in the 2016 election?
McCabe said he didnt vote, according to the officials, who like others interviewed for this article requested anonymity to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.
Trump, the officials said, also vented his anger at McCabe over the several hundred thousand dollars in donations his wife, a Democrat, received for her failed 2015 Virginia state Senate bid from a political action committee controlled by a close friend of Hillary Clinton.
McCabe, 49, who had been FBI deputy director for a little more than a year when James B. Comey was fired, is at the center of much of the political jockeying surrounding the investigation into potential coordination between Trump associates and the Kremlin. He has for a number of months been the subject of Trumps ire, prompting angry tweets suggesting that the Russia probe is politically motivated by Democrats sore about losing the election.

Obviously Trump is less concerned about ability to do the job or loyalty to this country or the constitution. Loyalty to Trump and protecting Trump is all that matters.

McCabe should have asked Trump a perjury trap question, such as, "What did your investigation into Obama's birth certificate really turn up?"
