Jeff Sessions Gives Andy McCabe the Boot

[Dienekes]

Somehow this seems appropriate for McCabe and his fellow malefactors:

I know it shouldn't surprise me that the majority of random folks I've engaged in conversation over the last couple of days don't know who McCabe is or that Tillerson had been ousted, nonetheless it surprises and disheartens.

The overall response from the few that do keep up on current events was that it was a dickhead move by Sessions/Trump. One person said they were certain that Session had a reminder on his phone - 'McCabe retires in two-days, fire him by COB today.'

I think that is what many of the folks who give notice one way or the other to such things will think, right or wrong.

Nah it was the right thing to do. He lied under oath and knew the risks. Hell the FBI recommended he get fired.

From the above news link.

"The recommendation to fire McCabe came from the FBI's own Office of Professional Responsibility, led by FBI Assistant Director Candice Will, who has been in her position since her appointment by then-Director Robert Mueller in 2004."

I for one am tired of public employees that screw up or lie or take the 5th, and still walk away with a pension.

Everything about McCabe has been known for quite a while. So should Trump have been a nice guy and waited until McCabe could draw his pension before having him fired? Just so Trump haters wouldn't wail about it being a grand conspiracy?

Give me a break. I couldn't give an actual fvck.

I consider even her to be wary of... Mueller preferred to groom a certain "cult of personality" for advancement and force those who weren't properly fellative out the door, continued by his proteges Comey and McCabe.

The danger to the republic, is the politicization of the FBI.

No wait the FBI has been blackmailing people since it was directed by a cross dressing freak.

I have had dealings with the FBI on several different times in my life, both when I was in Israel with various units in the FBI. Also when I was a deputy in the USA, they have never impressed me.

I would love to see a bunch of high ranking people from the FBI go to prison for all this BS, but I doubt it will happen.

So it is a federal crime to lie to the FBI, Matha Stewart and General Flynn both paid the price.

But the FBI can lie to the American people and nothing will happen.

McCabe now saying his leak was done through pub affairs officer and Comey knew about it.

And yet, the FBI OIG / PRB typically only acts on the FBI when it's an ironclad clear violation.

So if it was illegal it means Comey (again) was in the know.

If it was not illegal, McCabe would have a wrongful termination or similar case. He'll probably claim and pursue that anyway.

Dershowitz is saying the PRB action would not have taken place without a clear smoking gun.

Twice, in testimony before Congress, Comey said that he “never” was the source of a leak, nor was he aware of anyone under him leaking anything.

It would be great if these scurrying rats of the Deep State were to start eating each other as they are increasingly brought into the light. I think we’re just on the front end of the housecleaning at the FBI. I just hope that Brennan gets his ass in a crack too.

It's like the plot of a bad move. We're seeing the henchmen get desperate, but will we see the masterminds go over the cliff at the end? Unlikely IMO. Life doesn't usually work out as easily as it does in the movies.
