What We Know, and Don’t Know, About the Firing of Andrew McCabe

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

You’re not getting the point, what’s most pertinent. The fact that he was vindictively fired one day before retirement is the point you keep avoiding.

These appeals usually take months. The only explanation for that is Trump vindictive appeasement

We dont know what the IG and AG know.

Hint: BOOM.

We know they fired a man 1 day before his retirement and likely deprived him of that pension

Fire him, fine, but they are vindictive, cruel and crude to deprive him of that.


We also know Sessions broke his recusal pledge


We also know Sessions did this just to placate Trump

Your just making stuff up.

Sessions followed the recommendation of the IG.

Just because you hate Trump doesnt mean you should lie.

Also, MAYBE the IG did what it suppose to do, Sessions in firing McCabe broke his recusal pledge, THAT’S A FACT

Sessions recused himself from matters relating to the Russia investigation. McCabe was fired for his conduct regarding the Clinton investigation. No matter what he's recused from, he still has a responsibility to run his department. Personnel matters are ultimately his responsibility. And it's not like he unilaterally decided to fire him. Just Wednesday he received a recommendation from the OPR to fire McCabe. If he delegated it down to Rosenstein there would be no less angst. As for how close McCabe was to retirement, OPR finishing their review with only 4 days to go is not Sessions's fault. Knowing someone committed fireable offenses but just letting them retire and suck off the taxpayer anyway because they were so close when your ethics section tells you they should be fired would be corrupt as hell. Is that what you want? Corruption?

Actually, Sessions should not have even fired him, he recused himself from any involvement with anything related to this matter.

No he didn't.

Dont you worry yourself one little bit. The criminal charges are on the way....

you are still on that tired narrative?

What McCabe did helped Trump. That is directly from the mouth of your queen hillary.

So...what? McCabe helped Trump get elected and Trump is pissed off and taking vengeance because he didn't want to win? So he's going after him?

Help me clarify this situation....sigh.

Ask Trump why he’s mad at McCabe?

It’s his feverish brain.


Apparently, Trump just felt he and Comey were after him because they ran the initial investigation before he fired Comey and precipitated the Special Prosecutor.

Trump harrassed McCabe for a long time, even for his wife's actions

Why was he fired?

Oh yeah, that whole IG thing, and their recommendation.

Sucks when you actually have someone watching over you, unlike several years of the Obama admin.

Come on.

Left or right.

Firing a publ8c servant 1 day before ge retires and gets his pension is a real low blow

You're totally wrong.

slate.com...

Sessions very clearly said his recusal would cover any matters involving the Clinton Foundation.

I believe the proper thing for me to do, would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kind of investigations that involve Secretary Clinton and that were raised during the campaign or to be otherwise connected to it.

You're totally wrong.

Do you have a reading impairment?

Sessions very clearly said his recusal would cover any matters involving the Clinton Foundation.

Does this involve the Clinton Foundation, or Clinton herself?

You do realize they are separate entities right?

Timing has nothing to do with being vindictive. OPR recommended it, sessions did it. You are making an appeal to emotion.

I suspect criminal charges are forthcoming.

Who is to judge whether its t be?

This was clearly a rush setup job and vindictive to appease the big baby in the white house.

ALL THE TIME these things take months to decide

The OPR recommended the action. Instead of acknowledging this, you male up your own story amd insist its the only possibility.

You are lampooning yourself man. Come on.

It's NOT an appeal to emotion. Check it out for yourself. State government, federal government these things take time, ALL the time.

Absolutely yes.


He went to the WSJ to correct some story about Hillary.

He was questioned about this, that's what the firing was about --related to the HILLARY investigation.

Grassley: OK. I think, that’s—let me emphasize then with a follow-up question. To be very clear, you intend to recuse yourself from both the Clinton email investigation and any matters involving the Clinton Foundation, if there are any? Sessions: Yes.

So according to you, this is a rushed decision. What evidence do you have to support that claim?

How do you know the IG hasn't been working since day 1 to investigate corruption within the organization?

I linked your favorite website wapo in another thread, this was the RECOMMENDATION by the FBI's disciplinary council, fire McCabe. So Sessions did that.

If anything, you should be happy, the guy that caused Hilldog to lose got his just comings.

he fired any one who suggests the Russians are a problem ( not our friend)

When did Nikki Haley get fired? Or Mattis, or Kelly or pretty much everyone else in the administration? Because everyone has said Russia is a bad actor. Including Trump. Whoever you get your information from lied to you.

Be patient, he will in due time..

a reply to: Willtell

And sometimes when you are the top law enforcement individual in the country and you witness and are provided evidence of foul play, you have to do your job regardless of whether you said you would look the other way or not.

What amuses me is the fact that the guy that cost your girl the election got fired, and for some reason you are mad.

BOOO TRUMP!!!!
