Finally, hope it is the first of many and criminal charges will follow.
Good. Now they just need to fire everyone else who was a Comey lackey.
That it took this long says an awful lot about Sessions.
He really needs to be more aggressive.
He was actually smart in this instance, he waited for the FBI to recommend firing McCabe instead of just doing it on a hunch.
Will make it much tougher for the little weasel to take legal action in protest.
I was having doubts it was even going to happen, plus the weasel was sweating it, hoping to run out the clock so good. Now the media starts the rehabilitation push, already seeing how he “stepped down” as Deputy Director, wrong he was removed as DD.
Breathes in
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks for sharing that, OP.
No kidding. Worse…Sessions’ dithering followed by the last-minute firing makes it look petty and mean-spirited to many and detracts from the actual merits of the firing.
Sessions has not been a particularly good Attorney General and this is just one more glaring example. I have the impression that Rod Rosenstein really runs the DOJ. Sessions needs to go.
I would make the point that Rod Rosenstein needs to go. I also am disappointed in Sessions starting with the Russia recusal but hopefully this is a sign of him coming out of hibernation.
I agree. Rosenstein has Career Bureaucrat (“deep state”) written all over his curriculum vitae.
I wouldn’t hold my breath on Sessions. He’s a nice guy…doesn’t have the balls for this level of politics.
I would get with Trey Gowdy confirm that he wants the job and have Jeff clear out his desk on Monday.
Honestly, this is about a year too late.
Oh, and about McCabe’s retirement, IDGAF. He made this problem when he politicised his job.
I’m sure there will be some interesting lawsuits resulting from this.
As far as politicizing his job… Trump was the one that started it.
You know I heard that this morning on the News. I’m hoping that’s tongue in cheek, but I didn’t see a smiley.
I’m wondering at what point in the conversion to Socialism and the inversion of a .gov agency to the political muscle of the DNC someone like McCabe say’s “Okay” and goes all in? He put his integrity and good name on the line in order to back Hillary, obstruct the POTUS and more than likely leak information to the Press. Thinking he would get away with it unsullied was his mistake.
The Karma in all of this is magnificent.
Yeah…and I’m trying to figure out how anyone could say that Trump was the one that politicized any job in the Executive Branch. That came about before Trump even entered the presidential race and long before he became the front-runner. The “deep state”, which is the source of institutional politicization, was present even before Obama became president, although Obama was the one that made it not just deep, but broad. Good lord, even the ex-CIA director Brennan is shooting his mouth off all over the media.
Trump said “drain the swamp”. The Deep State is…well…deep, and progress is slow, but Comey and McCabe were some particularly glaring pieces of muck in that swamp.
.
Are you implying that McCabe’s wife took Dem money to run for office after Trump questioned his integrity? Because anyone who’s immediate family took that much partisan political funding, has no business being anywhere near an investigation with such highly charged political ramifications. It’s the pinnacle of conflict of interest. After all, McCabe isn’t the only guy in the FBI who could’ve done the job. Isn’t that what the FBI has all those “career professionals™” for? :rolleyes:
McCabe and his political cronies are whining about his retirement pension. I hope that Fate doubles down and indicts him. He deserves to be in that wringer more than Flynn does.
The collective memories of the US Citizenry seem to have the lifespan of a fruit fly.
We bitch about political appointees overreaching their bounds only when the guy had an (R) behind his last name at some point.
We bitch (collectively) about mass shootings happening and wonder what the government is going to do about it.
But we forget;
AG Holder running guns in to Mexico during Fast and Furious. Some if not many of those guns ended up in the hands of the Cartels and killed at least one BP Agent we know of. The death toll of civilians will continue to mount for at least another decade due to those guns.
Rahm Emmanuel is the Mayor of one of the largest Cities in the United States and is extremely anti-gun and yet on a long summer weekend they have shootings that are the equal to the Florida School Shooting and no one looks sideways at it.
SoS Clinton set in motion the disastrous revolution in Libya that killed thousands of civilians and cost us our Ambassador.
Obama held the reigns on this collection of deadly Muppets and as of yet, no one has called him on it.
And that tit for tat isn’t the way to run a Government, I have yet to see Trump play any of these silly games. For the most part, although sometimes his own worst enemy, he seems to have his goals in line with making America great again.
If I was Flynn I would make it a point to be in the same room with McCabe just to flip him off and call him out.
The money directed by McAuliffe began flowing two months after the FBI investigation into Clinton began in July 2015. Around that time, the candidate’s husband was promoted from running the Washington field office for the FBI to the No. 3 position at the bureau.
The political action committee of McAuliffe, the Clinton loyalist, gave $467,500 to the state Senate campaign of the wife of Andrew McCabe, who is now deputy director of the FBI, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The report states Jill McCabe received an additional $207,788 from the Virginia Democratic Party, which is heavily influenced by McAuliffe.
Given what he’s being fired for started long before DJT was elected, you’re just engaging in gratuitous Trump bashing.
Between documented leaks, lying to the FBI, collusion with the star-crossed lovers as documented in the texts, undisclosed friendships with a fisa judge involved in the Trump dossier mess, documented attempts to communicate with said fisa judge without divulging relationship, Etc…
That whole crew should be tried for more serious charges than they will ever be prosecuted for.
With what we are learning now it’s amazing that Russian election tampering is even in the news. Those four to five individuals did far more to influence the election than any Russian Facebook posts ever date
I don’t see how when all of the emails, political intrigue, FISA Judge shenanigans and money aren’t weighed in to the sum of what actually went on, why aren’t we discussing sedition against the United States and obstruction of justice?
There was a plan to remove the President of the United States by false stories, leaks to the Press of false stories and rebellion against the Executive Office.
