Of course. Blatant political bias at the agency that felt the need to go public about Weiner’s computer a week before the election in order to get ahead of agents who were planning to leak it…

Outside of working, Senator, we didn’t do anything different from what you did as the Attorney General of Missouri.

Hawley sends letter that misstates the facts to the FBI insisting it investigate itself. Why do I think it’s performance art and not a real request? And it’s the second time he’s done it? Repug senators are like 6-year-olds: “Watch me, Daddy! Aren’t I doing good?”

Good lord, these Trump lickers really have no shame. Not a single ounce. MAYBE they should start worrying about the harm they and the ‘master’ they worship have done to the country before fking around to make some obscure political point.

What’s “disturbing” is their desire to cover the tracks of a traitor from his first days in office.

Hey, Josh, how’s that investigation into your illegally using state resources for political purposes going? Sanctimonious shithead.

“I am disturbed by these accounts of blatant political bias within the FBI,” he wrote in the letter shared with TPM. “Mr. McCabe launched an investigation to gather information that he intended to block the President from accessing and actively explored ways to force the President from office. These actions directly threaten the constitutional structure of the executive branch and place the political accountability of executive branch agencies in serious question.”

Invoking the 25th Amendment is the very definition of a constitutional act. It is self evidently a way to force a President from office. Legally and constitutionally. It has to be initiated by a cabinet member(s). Nothing in the Amendment stipulates the advice or source of information a cabinet member accesses in being influenced  invoking the 25th is needed. They have to get input from someone there's a problem, and it's not illegal for that input to come from outside the cabinet. We all should hope some of it DOES come from outside the cabinet. If a law enforcement official tells a cabinet member the President is acting so suspiciously there's reason to believe he's unfit for office then it's entirely up to that cabinet member(s) to either act on that, or not. No one individual, or department, can start a process that forces a President from office outside of either impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment. McCabe and Rosenstein and eveyone else the GOP is shitting their pants over are powerless to remove Trump from office. When the hell will someone point this out to them?

It’s called “doing our job.”

“I am disturbed by these accounts of blatant political bias within the FBI,” Hawley wrote in the letter.

I think it was more a bias about nobody being above the law, especially someone who gained the presidency by conspiring with a foreign adversary, and who continues to act as an agent of that adversary.

There’s a Senator Hawley? Oh, now I remember, he’s that POS they elected instead of Senator McCaskell.

In college they called him Smoot. Only because it had a better ring than Smegma.

Keep telling us how afraid you are of any sort of investigation, Senator.
