Discussion: McCabe Tried To Ensure Russia Case Wouldn't 'Vanish In The Night' If He Was Fired

Speaker Pelosi might want to introduce a little bill to restore Mr McCabe’s pension, which he was fired a few hours before gaining eligibility. With back pay. Don’t know what the Senate might do, but it would make the GOP squeal and remind the public about this travesty to a decent public servant.

Nice there are a few good men(and women) left in govenment.

Edit: Really good! He’s the first person involved to actually admit they considered using the 25 amendment.

McCabe should take a tip from Mueller and shut the hell up.

But, but, but, what about the book sales???

We need real American patriots like Andrew McCabe to expose traitors, criminals and pee-hooker and excrement drenched whores like Preshitident Skank-Manslut from infesting our government and undermining our democracy.

I have to wonder if perhaps a wire was worn and we just don’t know yet…

Sorry not buying that McCabe is a hero. This is grandstanding for book sales. And it merely plays into the Trump right wing narrative about the deep state being Anti Trump.

“Oh Lordy, please let there be tapes…”

He has made more than his share of mistakes, including leaking info about the HRC email investigation to the press, and not using his considerable power to shut down the rogue Trumpers at the NY FBO office or the folks who were running truepundit.org, the blog that seemed to have an unusual amount of inside information on FBI matters, including the Weiner investigation.

However, Andrew McCabe looks to have played an indispensable role to preserve the Russia investigation which has allowed Mueller to come to the doorstep of indicting the Trump Campaign and its key members for conspiracy.

One could be charitable and call it “tough love”.

Supposing it is that simple, Trump should have thought about that possibility before he fired McCabe without his pension. As for the right wing, let them believe it. It’s not going to change the outcome, and in fact it’s true. Aside from his cult following, who isn’t anti-Trump?

Firing McCabe without cause while taking away his retirement was a typically petty, vindictive, and abusive way for Trump to treat a lifetime civil servant, regardless of circumstances. This act speaks volumes about the smallness of Trump.

He wrote a book. You can’t both shut up and write a book.

Who the fuck cares what they think?
