Ruh-rohā¦
Donnie did it againā¦
According to NBC, McCabe will officially remain at the FBI until mid-March, which is when he can retire with full benefits.
Flipping Donald the bird ? He is saying somethingā¦
I guess this means Lynne Patton is up for a promotion.
I wouldnāt want to put up with this clownshow, either.
I hope heās actually stepping down and not āstepping downā.
Heāll walk away with full benefits. Get a higher paying job as a security consultant and write a book.
I know this canāt actually happen for conflict-of-interest reasons, but Iād laugh myself stupid if he turned around and started working full-time for Bob Mueller
Look for Trump to tweet it isnāt fair for McCabe to resign yet stay on as an employee long enough to get full retirement benefits.
it is the unknown at this time Whatever he knows or knew. is recorded for our Democracy. Donald Trump will someday. be just a stain on our countrys history. supported by
Trump supporters who cared more for money and power than the United States. American History is littered with Patriots
My gut tells me that this resignation is bad news for Trump and that McCabe, who is presumably a tough nut, is acting in accordance with a plan and not simply capitulating. Prima facie this is evidence of McCabe being āpushed outā to obstruct/deter FBI inquiries into Trump & Co. Weāll have to see what McCabe say about it in March, if anything. It seems quite likely that he will be in possession of facts having to do with the pressure that Trump and his mob have put him under.
Maybe he can tell us why Rancid Penis & Spice Boy stuck around for weeks after their resignationsā¦
I think weāre at the point right now where, by default, any short-term news is bad news for Trump. Most of all, they just need a quiet week or three where things seem, above all else, stable.
Canāt wait for CNNās paltry excuse for an Algonquin Roundtable starts to babble about āheās turned the corner, heās pivoted, heās finally acting presidentialā because he didnāt crap his pants while reading from the teleprompter tomorrow night.
I wish that there was something funny about this.
McCabeās decision to step down comes as Trump has publicly criticized the deputy director for months, falsely claiming in tweets that Hillary Clinton gave McCabeās wife, Jill McCabe, ābig dollarsā for a Virginia state senate seat race in 2015.
Canāt McCabe sue T rump for libel and defamation over these false accusations? Arenāt these accusations evidence of the POTUS creating an unsafe and hostile work environment?
Putin must be feeling pretty good right now about his investments in the US Government.
i expect Mueller will want to talk to McCabe if he hasnāt already.
@erik_t As long he has an āexit interviewā with Meuller on his way out.
Donāt sweat it. Every time Trump got good press in the past he ruined it within hours with another asinine and offensive tweet.
This is old news, reported on nationally before Christmas:
Andrew McCabe, the FBIās deputy director who has been the target of Republican critics for more than a year, plans to retire in a few months when he becomes fully eligible for pension benefits, according to people familiar with the matter.
