His will be a particularly interesting book.

I suspect Fat Donny looked around this morning, watched a little FOX news and then decided it was time to kick McGahn out the door. It would be worth checking to see if FOX and Friends had a story about McGahn this morning.

Cause and effect.

“Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry??”

But hey, whadda’you care? U got all your fucking Federalist judges and stayed out of jail.

U must be sooo proud, asshole.

Yes, the impeachment clock for Trump and just as guilty Pence has begun. Trump and Pence failed the nation when their transition team allowed the Russian attacks to continue! They are unfit to serve and failed to defend the union!

Smooth running operation.

I would recommend that the White Hole Counsel position be added to National Security Secretary Cuck Kushner’s responsibilities. The Preshitident needs a true conservative who will act as his personal fixer, someone who cares about his family, is loyal to a fault and will get things done using every method available.

Please, please, please, Mother of Dog, make something happen that delays or destroys Kavanaugh’s hearings. Not that I want McGahn to stick around, but to eff up this plan to knock us back into the 19th Century.

Hmmm, he’s gotta stay out of jail first. But yes, if written, very interesting.

McCpnnell and Ryan have forgotten the Constitution and their oath to defend and protect the union. That means protect the government and the office of the President. They have chosen to protect an unfit, untrustworthy traitor in Trump - they too have failed the union and need to resign or be removed. Time to save the Union. As for John Kelly - throw that useless scum in the brig!

“McGahn was not angered by Trump’s tweeted, but rather saw it as the exact way he’d expect the Twitter President to behave.”

And that’s a big reason he’s getting his butt out of there.

I think it started the minute Weisselberg was granted immunity.

Just this morning Dotard told McGahn he has full faith and confidence in him.

Ruh-Roh…

I can’t imagine how low morale must be at the White House. There must be a 24 hour suicide watch for everyone who works there. I bet “kill me please” is the most common password used there for the last year-and-a-half.

…McGahn was not angered by Trump’s tweeted, but rather saw it as the exact way he’d expect the Twitter President to behave.

This is, of course, the whole point of the exercise: people become so accustomed to violations that they’re deadened to yet another transgression.
It’s a tactic of interpersonal domination that the Dts is playing on a national scale.

Followed closely by “lock him up”…

I could be wrong, but I suspect it’s not so much that they forgot it, and more that they never intended to honor it.

According to people familiar with the matter who spoke to the Post, McGahn was not angered by Trump’s tweeted, but rather saw it as the exact way he’d expect the Twitter President to behave.

“Of course it happened this way,” McGahn reportedly said, according to a person familiar with McGahn.

Days after President Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson via tweet and Chief of Staff John Kelly revealed that he warned him his days were numbered when he was on the toilet, the Washington Post reported that the White House hoped to make its next firing less humiliating:

Some in the White House have been reluctant to oust McMaster from his national security perch until he has a promotion to four-star rank or other comfortable landing spot. They are eager to show that someone can serve in the Trump administration without suffering severe damage to their reputation.

While the next two firings did not involve details like getting “canned on the can,” they were still fairly embarrassing. On March 22, Trump tweeted that John Bolton would replace H.R. McMaster as national security adviser, though his future plans were still in flux. Less than a week later, Veteran Affairs Secretary David Shulkin was ousted in similar fashion.
