Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is lucky he was only fired and not prosecuted for improperly leaking information to a reporter and then lying about it. Partial transcript as follows: KENNEDY: Well, let me- let me say it again. There were and perhaps still are some people at the FBI, one of whom was Mr. McCabe, who helped politicize the agency. Whe- when an FBI agent knocks at your door, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican and whether that makes a difference. And- and Mr. McCabe has helped politicize that agency and- and that’s wrong. He- he really– he should be ashamed and he should hide his head in- in a bag. And we- we have got to– MARGARET BRENNAN: What do you mean politicize? KENNEDY: –clean house over there. BRENNAN: Clean house? What do you mean by that? KENNEDY: Well he has– Mr. McCabe– well let me back up and say this, Margaret. I’m talking about people over there who were both for Trump and for Clinton. Now they’re entitled to have a personal opinion but they’re not entitled to act on it
