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

[acbytesla]

Answering the phones does not sound like a law enforcement position.

Doesn't matter. Its a Federal job and a Federal pension.

And

"As the House Intelligence Committee has concluded, there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump Campaign. As many are now finding out, however, there was tremendous leaking, lying and corruption at the highest levels of the FBI, Justice & State. #DrainTheSwamp"

The Sham committee you mean.

I think the final words of Orwell's 1984 fit some posters here:

"He Loved Big Brother".

Republicans have fired two top FBI officials who seem to have evidence of Trump obstructing justice and it seems worst thing they could officially say about either man is that they were unfair to... Hillary Clinton.​

 

[BobTheCoward]

There is a lot of jumping to conclusions here. But I think Ezra Klein best articulates the issue.

This is the problem with a White House occupied by a vengeful chief executive who has little respect for institutional independence, rule of law, or government transparency. Trump cannot be trusted to carry out decisions like this one fairly or impartially, and so the decisions themselves cannot be trusted. Integrity is not their brand.

Fits more than one poster here unfortunately

Your kidding right? I'll bet you that McCabe gets his pension.

I think he will, though realistically, his pensions is small potatoes compared to what he is going make on the lecture circuit and from his books.

I think I have a good word for Trump supporters:Tories..though that be unfair to the original Tories during the American Revolution.

 

[SezMe]

Cool story.

The decision recommendation was made by the OPR.

Be nice if you'd keep your posts factual.

 

[Oystein]

We lack the details to determine if he was fairly or unfairly dismissed.

And that is EXACTLY the problem. There is no evidence that he deserved being pooped on by the pooper in chief.

 

[Oystein]

...or....and this might be crazy....he deserved to be fired for the actions he is said to be fired over.

Yes. This does indeed sound crazy.

And to the Conservative Party of the UK, as well.

And to the residents of Tory Island, who are also referred to as Tories.

I am now through with the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Trump supporters; I will
consider them fascists, favoring authoritarian one man rule, until they prove different.

 

[Oystein]

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?

Evidence?

I'd be quite happy to dump a bunch of ours in a blender with Trump.

‘k.

Evidence?

The DOJ statement announcing his firing.

He's really closer to UKIP.

And to the Irish Catholic bog-trotters who were the original original Tories (or Toruighs in their benighted language).

You mean the Six Nations Grand Slam Champion Irish? Or the other ones?
