Is this going to somehow change the outcome of the 2016 election?
Ok, maybe if McCabe hadn’t sat on the Weiner emails, it might have decreased Hillary’s winning vote total by a million or so votes?
No but Josh has suggested that this somehow will be re-purposed to help Trump. I am not sure that I agree with Josh because Trump won due to the Comey letter. The bigger question for me is who leaked this to Giuliani? He was all over it.
Everything is upside down and sideways and McCabe -the scapegoat- is gone. Comey is also gone.
So I’m trying to figure this out. Wasn’t Comey’s blatant disregard of DoJ guidelines regarding politically-motivated announcements ostensibly one of the strikes against him? And now McCabe’s failure to make a politically-motivated announcement is a count against him?
It does kinda seem as if the IG may have been captured by the new york office sleeper agents.
Fires James “I’m handing you the election” Comey for “the Russia thing” but also how he handled “the emails.” Hastens McCabe’s departure for almost not handing him the election by making the decision to not rush to judgement about Abedin’s emails. It’s a very confusing time.
Unreal. My mother is 90 years old, she was in a movie theater when she heard the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. She told me she’s never feared more for this country than she does right now.
The civil war is breaking out into the open.
Election interference -McCabe was trying to avoid it and Comey had to cover for his NY field office.
It’s slime the witness time. McCabe, if I remember correctly, was one of Comey’s confidants about Trump’s demands for loyalty…so any future testimony is now pre-tainted.
This crap they are generating is going to back fire on them eventually. Ultimately, the one thing they are trying to achieve is to make the investigations a muddy mess. All these acts are heavy and coarse. If they were going to do things right, they would working hard to bring these things into play with subtlety. My god, Nunes? This is not the man to bring this into play.
Everyone says they are playing a dangerous game. While it is dangerous to us, the recklessness will bring it down on their heads. Damn it is going to be rough, but it is going to happen. It is funny, I am building an absolute certainty of it. These are not smart people, they are doing 11th hour acts and making a lot of noise in the process. They are overstepping without a safety net in the long run. Not a good premise. The big question again, what is the big bad they are staring down?
The §resident is an issue in many ways, but I am getting the sense, something else is pushing these people outside of Trump. Otherwise they would have 86ed him by now.
I’ve been seeing on Twitter (Rick Wilson, Angry White House Staffer, et al) that this ramped up effort to smear McCabe and the FBI is designed to offset something big coming out. I’m damned if I know what it is, but that notion makes sense.
What could be so damaging that the Trumpskis are going to this much trouble? Especially if, as has been reported, Mueller’s and Rosenstein’s options regarding what actions to take are limited and can be quashed in a multitude of ways by the GOP. Why now?

ETA: English major fixes grammatical mistake.
Too fast, too slow --there is a conspicuously confusing Goldilocks problem here, and Trump loves blondes.
Damn it, I am going to miss Hillary when she is impeached.
With or without Pre-Nups and paid for NDAs?
I dunno. I’ve been hearing for weeks from folks on this board and elsewhere that something big is coming. So far nothing since Flynn.
Yep…An impending truth bomb sounds likely. That also supports Josh’s post about donnie possibly stirring the NK pot in his speech tonight. After all, war and military scares always help the current Oval’s tenant…or squatter, in this case.
Understood, but each time they pull a move, it makes less sense in terms of the basic understandings. It is making us all crazy, but once you start peeling away the layers, it tells us there is something bigger. If it is isn’t, it will be one the biggest head fakes in history.
This more than anything else scares the crap out of me.
I keep going back to Flynn’s authorized actions regarding Kislyak and the sanctions. Could that contain some unknown element that blows everything wide open? My patience with this unmitigated bullshit is gone.
