    Trumps tentacles are EVERYWHERE!!!!111!!1ELEVEN! (cue erie music)

    (sarcasm off)

    Lets be clear. The decision to fire was based upon the Inspector General's report. He flushed an otherwise seemingly honorable career down the toilet by lying under oath (multiple times) and by getting caught leaking to the news media.

    I suspect he won't be the last we see fired in disgrace from the FBI/DOJ.

    he is a career p***y though. he does not have the balls to fire them to their face. like a scared coward, he fires them via twitter or has one of his underlings send out a press release. sad.

    just like how he trashed obama for years, then after the election, when he met face to face with him said what a great guy he was...and then after the meeting went back to trashing him. not only was he was too much of a p***y to criticize obama to his face...he actually heaped praise upon him and said what a great guy he was. what a p***y!

    also, p***y-boy is the one who went around saying how he only hired the best. what does it say when the people he said were "the best" arent cutting the mustard?

    It takes a POS POTUS to fire a 20-some year lawman 24 hours before they retire.

    Trump is the most vindictively insane POTUS in history and really isn't any different than Putin or Kim. Goes to show the only thing that stops him from becoming a dictator is our system which is under attack by Trump and the Russians.

    Dark times indeed

    Nah, just having a little fun at your stupid comment. The unhinged nut jobs are the ones who can’t even consider all of the evidence before them. I didn’t say blindly trust, I said “even consider”.

    What would it take to even give a Trump supporter pause? Seriously, what would he have to do for you to question whether he was a good choice?

    Trump should fire himself and be done with it.

    at this point there is nothing that would give trump supporters pause.

    conservatives say they are the pro-troop party, yet support someone who said POWs are not heroic b/c they were captured and also attacked a gold star mother.

    conservatives say they are the party of morals, god and religion, but support someone who attacked the pope, bragged about cheating on all three of his wives and had sex with p*rn star.

    conservatives say they are the party of fiscal responsibility, but support someone whose fiscally irresponsible tax cuts will blow up the deficit.

    conservatives say they believe in free-market capitalism, but now support tariffs.

    conservatives say they are the party of law and order and blue lives matter - but continually attack the nations biggest law enforcement agency and its top officials.

    could it be that trumpism is not really conservative at all and his supporters are all being willingly duped?

    Important to note that trump's lawyer has already started trying to walk back this comment. While its out there (and used to prop up this blind supporters) the tweet is also permanent record and can be used in Mueller's investigation. Thanks trump!

    McCabe is a witness to Trump's obstruction of justice.

    Trump clearly was urging for the firing (abuse of power, completely inappropriate, but that's the unfortunate norm for NOW). That's at least known. He may have done more (and I'm thinking likely he did given his nature, and I'm thinking Mueller will definitely investigate as it's squarely fall into potential evidences of obstruction).

    OIG has not released their report. We can probably safely assume it's critical to McCabe, but we don't have details. There is suggestions that this was being rushed.. speculation and probably doesn't mean much.

    "I put a lot of faith in the inspector general and the career people in [the Office of Professional Responsibility] and the senior career officials at DoJ who all seem to have reviewed this and agreed that McCabe should be disciplined,” said Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman under Attorney General Eric Holder. “ I do think that this moved as quickly as it did because the attorney general was trying to appease the president. Left to the normal process, this would not have happened this quickly, and you would not have seen it until the inspector general's report was released.”

    Sessions stated McCabe "made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor - including under oath - on multiple occasions". He didn't said lie, but a lack of candor/honestly. That sounds more like a judgement call. But it could be the RIGHT judgement call. That's up to the FBI.

    Sessions has rescued himself. Did he forgot or simply ignore, was under too much pressure, or what? (No, I do not want Trump to use this excuse to fire Sessions so he can insert a new AG to fire Muller).




    It could be both that a) McCabe should be fired and b) Trump pushed the firing to cover his ass, to weaken a witness, to weaken the FBI, .... A is not much of a care now, but B will need to be concluded as part of the larger investigation.


    On a side note, it would be awesome if all public servant is held to the high standard that Sessions talked about (being candor and honest), starting at the very top.

    This would be even a little believable if it weren't for:

    Fired by someone who recused himself from any activity related to the thing he fired McCabe for...

    And trump's obvious efforts to obstruct justice in this case:


    And.. trump's "victory tweet":



    But re your last point...

    Plus... trumps tweets (at least two) that referred to McCabe and his pension. I am sure they will be useful in any lawsuit McCabe files regarding his firing. Certainly will be included in Mueller's investigation.

    The next 3-6 weeks will have a lot to say about the future of the republic.

    Unfortunately, I believe it will all come down to this: Turtle and Ryan deciding if they lose more seats with Trump or without him. I wish their decision making could be informed by higher principles than that.

    Sessions is dirty through and through, by the way. Not an honorable bone left in that walking slug.

    Let me ask you as an “upstanding hard working American” (this is hypothetical), how has Trump as President caused you hardship or suffrage?

    Deep State likes to issue threats like this, Schumer said much the same



    Brennan is the ex-communist who used his surveillance powers to spy on members of congress, and then lied about it under oath

    Comey allowing McCabe to work on Hillary email investigation when his wife was receiving campaign contributions from Clinton/DNC is insane

    I imagine that breach of ethics (among others) will come out in the April IG report

    That fact was never in doubt. The sheer danger that our chief officer would be so dishonorable.

    If you think that is insane and a breach of ethics, wait until you hear about a recused Attorney General being involved in personnel decisions involving an investigation he is recused from, a President obstructing justice and attempting to tamper with witnesses involved in an investigation into that President's possible criminal activity, a president threatening women into signing non disclosure agreements to not reveal affairs and tawdry sexual details, that same president profiting from foreign entities conducting business on his properties where he is practically selling access to himself, or even that presidents family encouraging foreign governments to patron the family businesses and even conducting business with sanctioned banks and engaging in business while conducting government business.

    I mean, yeah, just imaging what will come out in Mueller's final report.

    We seriously need a thorough accounting for the FBI's activity during the campaign. Giuliani, who is suddenly incognito, bragged about his FBI connections and it has been reported he was connected to a very anti-Clinton FBI faction from the New York field office. McCabe's transgressions, which include leaks that harmed Clinton, don't even come close to the craziness Comey tried to contain and ultimately yielded to in sending the letter to Congress about supposedly new Clinton emails.

    Team politics got us here. Time to put country over party.

    Fired McCabe kept notes on Trump, as Comey did, and gave them to Special Counsel Mueller
    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...and-gave-them-to-special-counsel-mueller.html

    Newly fired FBI official Andrew McCabe kept personal memos similar to those compiled by James Comey on interactions with President Donald Trump, who axed Comey as FBI director.

    The memo disclosure on Saturday, confirmed to Fox News by a source close to McCabe, comes after the onetime FBI deputy director was fired late Friday by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

    McCabe gave a copy of the memos, which also included what Comey told him about his interactions with Trump, to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading a federal investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 elections, according to The Wall Street Journal.
