Who will be Fired/Resign Next In The Trump Administration

Dick move by trump and Sessions. Though not surprising.

 

Good point. 3 minute powerpoint? How much can our esteemed President handle?

Tillerson and McMaster and Cohn and etc... were incredibly qualified individuals who I think had some sense of duty to the country but not the man.

Who are we going to get on this next round? Trump says he loves conflict in his interpersonal dealings, so I guess not a total bunch of sycophants and yes-men, but who with any chops is going to want to put up with him, knowing that they will get fired in a year?

 

McCabe statement about his firing:

The full statement:

Spoiler: McCabe Statement

I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. I spent half of that time investigating Russian Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City. I have spent the second half of my career focusing on national security issues and protecting this country from terrorism. I served in some of the most challenging, demanding investigative and leadership roles in the FBI. And I was privileged to serve as Deputy Director during a particularly tough time.

For the last year and a half, my family and I have been the targets of an unrelenting assault on our reputation and my service to this country. Articles too numerous to count have leveled every sort of false, defamatory and degrading allegation against us. The president’s tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all. He called for my firing. He called for me to be stripped of my pension after more than 20 years of service. And all along we have said nothing, never wanting to distract from the mission of the FBI by addressing the lies told and repeated about it.

No more.

The investigation by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) has to be understood in the context of the attacks on my credibility. The investigation flows from my attempt to explain the FBI’s involvement and my supervision of investigations involving Hillary Clinton. I was being portrayed in the media over and over as a political partisan, accused of closing down investigations under political pressure. The FBI was portrayed as caving under that pressure, and making decisions for political rather than law enforcement purposes. Nothing was further from the truth. In fact, this entire investigation stems from my efforts, fully authorized under FBI rules, to set the record straight on behalf of the Bureau and to make it clear that we were continuing an investigation that people in DOJ opposed.

The OIG investigation has focused on information I chose to share with a reporter through my public affairs officer and a legal counselor. As Deputy Director, I was one of only a few people who had the authority to do that. It was not a secret, it took place over several days, and others, including the Director, were aware of the interaction with the reporter. It was the same type of exchange with the media that the Deputy Director oversees several times per week. In fact it was the same type of work that I continued to do under Director Wray, at his request. The investigation subsequently focused on who I talked to, when I talked to them, and so forth. During these inquiries, I answered questions truthfully and as accurately as I could amidst the chaos that surrounded me. And when I thought my answers were misunderstood, I contacted investigators to correct them.

But looking at that in isolation completely misses the big picture. The big picture is a tale of what can happen when law enforcement is politicized, public servants are attacked, and people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions become instruments for damaging those institutions and people.

Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey. The release of this report was accelerated only after my testimony to the House Intelligence Committee revealed that I would corroborate former Director Comey’s accounts of his discussions with the President. The OIG’s focus on me and this report became a part of an unprecedented effort by the Administration, driven by the President himself, to remove me from my position, destroy my reputation, and possibly strip me of a pension that I worked 21 years to earn. The accelerated release of the report, and the punitive actions taken in response, make sense only when viewed through this lens. Thursday’s comments from the White House are just the latest example of this.

This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally. It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel’s work.

I have always prided myself on serving my country with distinction and integrity, and I have always encouraged those around me to do the same. Just ask them. To have my career end in this way, and to be accused of lacking candor when at worst I was distracted in the misty fo chaotic events, is incredibly disappointing and unfair. But it will not erase the important work I was prevailed to be a part of, the results of which will in the end be revealed for the country to see.

I have unfailing faith in the men and women of the FBI and I am confident that their efforts to seek justice will not be deterred.

 

Also in keeping with the trump cowardly style...

 

Go Trump

 

That's a pretty good photo for the reality of this administration. LOL. Sad.

 

Lol. Amazing. Trump is right about how dumb his supporters are.

 

First time I heard one of you idiots say Trump was right, It’s a start.

 

Why is Trump hiring his people (the best people) and then firing them within about a year evidence of anything but his not being able to run an effective organization?

 

Reality is not a liberal strong suit.

 

McCabe was going to retire on Sunday. You're not exactly reporting that fact either.

 

It’s what he does, “You’re Fired!” You don’t cut the mustard you get the axe. Remember he is not a career politician.

 

Is that any way to run the most important country/economy/military in the world? Shouldn't most of his first guys be the "best people"?

What does that say about his judgement? Or his ability to read people?

 

Good lord. The trump supporters are showing their brute ignorance and stupidity once again. They obviously have no love for their country, but rather love for the creature who is sometimes in the White House. Bizarre beyond belief.

 

Lol, it’s a start? That there is agreement that his supporters are morons? And you’re like, “ Damn straight! About time you libtards figured it out.”

You cannot make this shizz up - thank you for the chuckle.

 

Clearly, mick fry meant that liberals should respond to everything that Trump says or does with "Trump is right" The rest of what he responded to is irrelevant.

He likes the idea of unquestioned authoritarianism and he thinks you should too. It's just a matter of slowly indoctrinating the liberals to the language of submission so we can MAGA together, as a country, like we used to...

I hope that clarification is adequate.
