The Trump Presidency (Act V - The One Where Everybody Dies)

Remember that Tweet of Trump's about three months ago, wherein he mentioned the fact of McCabe counting down to his retirement in "90 days"? That will likely figure in any coming redressing of the injustice done McCabe, going to show Trump's awareness of and planning of this 'humiliation' to come. And the sheer rapidity of action on the part of Sessions the traitor elf to exact the firing, late on a Friday evening no less, points only more clearly to the political revenge behind it all.

Everything surrounding Trump is turning ever more rapidly into a festering, fetid sewer. His accelerating cleaning out of what he formerly claimed to be "the best", to be replaced by yet more incompetent, robotic yes men, without a peep from his spineless Congress, astonishes me to astonishing levels of astonished astonishment.

he was fired pursuant to the recommendation of Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz who was appointed by Obama.

Uh oh, that means what exactly in the skeptics calculus of Trump is teh liar?

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, remember THAT name the next time you type out total nonsense like the foregoing

In fact I am going to do everyone a favor and type it again.

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz

But that report has not been released. We're told it's based on the report but from Trump appointees who are demonstrably untrustworthy, particularly with regards to the Russia investigation.

The real skeptic position is not to conclude one way or the other. It is simply not able to be determined with the evidence available.

And why they fired him and if his behavior warranted firing are different questions. Honestly, I have zero interest in the former.

"CNN reported on Wednesday that the findings in Horowitz's report on McCabe were referred to the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility, staffed with career officials, who recommended McCabe's termination."

so, Horowitz 1, your inside jobby job conspiracy theory? ZILCH

And Now McCabe will be more then anxious to tell whatever he knows.
DUmb,dumb,dumb move.
Not that McCabe will suffer much for it. Guaranteed, he will make more money on the lecture circuit and from his book then he ever would have with his pension.
Though I am betting a way will be found to get him his retirement benefits.

He can sue.

I really, really hope he sues.

And that the Trump crowd fights it.

Just think of the opportunities for discovery.

Even stipulating all that...

...what would it have hurt to wait a couple days so the poor guy could get the pension he had earned?

Exactly. After 21 years of service he deserved better, but that's this Presidency in a nutshell - no class, no morals, no professionalism. Just petty, childish spite.

There would be a bit of a fuss in the press and online but the GOP would find a reason to support it and after a few days everything would carry on as before.

Poor guy? He disclosed facts regarding an on going investigation, and wanted his entire pension to vest at the age of 50?

Plus he came out and now appears to be interfering with other investigations.

Maybe his wife can go out and get massive donations from targets of his investigation? Oh wait, that already happened.

Give that mutt a muzzle.
