Another top ex-FBI official who was ousted after being targeted by President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department challenging his removal.
So many lawsuits. So many, many lawsuits. So much discovery, so many depositions under oath.
Strzok and McCabe. Jesus, Iād pay a thousand dollars to sit in on discovery.
Splendid! Keep them coming, folks.
Elf Sessions that glutton for punishment, will refuse to testify against Trumpā¦
So in these suits, does trump play the civil equivalent of unindicted co-conspirator? (I.e. named and actions called out as unlawful, but not actually a defendant in the suit)
āIn December 2017, Trump met with DAG Rosenstein and asked Rosenstein if he was āon my team,ā i.e., Trumpās āteam,āā the lawsuit said. āāOf course, weāre all on your team, Mr. President,ā Rosenstein responded.ā
Well, well, well. Just in time for the impeachment party.
His firing was total BS, and obviously done to punish him by cutting off his retirement benefits. The meanness of that action was a precursor to so many other bad acts, and there are probably several other people who could bring lawsuits like this, and hopefully they will.
Interesting coming the same week as Strzokās suit. Right? Its a little too cute of a coincidence. Or am I just too caught up in all this drama?
Between this lawsuit, and Strzokās lawsuit, lots of DoJ dirty linen is going to be airedājust in time for the election season.
Iām buying popcorn futures first thing tomorrow morning.
Geez, Rosenstein turns up again under another rock. Iām thankful he shielded Mueller (although I think Muellerās post-Report behavior isnāt exactly forthcoming), but everywhere else he seems to have left a trail of slime.
A week before Sessionsā final decision to remove him, McCabeās lawyer was allegedly told by an official involved in the disciplinary proceeding that, āWeāre making it up as we go along.ā
The whole Dumpster presidency in a sentence. I wonder if the official was passing along to McCabeās lawyer as a signal that DOJ had a weak case that McCabe could push back against.
Trump used to like WWE wrestling. McCabe and Strzok make a helluva tag-team duo.
Moar popcorn. Definitely moar popcorn.
Lawd, they a cominā home.
Looks like theyāre just going to feed, though, not to roost.
āYouāre gonna need a bigger bowl!ā
Reductionist!

Susan Gordon is stepping down as Deputy Director of National Intelligence on August 15th - the same day that Dan Coats leaves. Trump just announced it via Twitter.
So he fired her!?
