The bloodletting begins.
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe ‘Removed’ From The Bureau
Top FBI official Andrew McCabe has been “removed” from his post as deputy director, Fox News is told, leaving the bureau after months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans including President Trump.
A source confirmed to Fox News that McCabe is taking “terminal leave” – effectively taking vacation until he reaches his planned retirement in a matter of weeks. As such, he will not be reporting to work at the FBI anymore.
Here is everything you need to know about Andy McCabe:
If Eric Holder is defending him then he must really be a piece of shit.
As someone pointed out in the last thread, FBI Director Wray went to view the Nunes Memo yesterday and today McCabe got shitcanned.
You should see the sturm und drang on my Facebook feed. All those people who survived the tax cut and the government shutdown, only to be KILLED! DEAD! by McCabe’s retirement. Sad!
Sometimes I regret not being on FB. This is one of those times.
Bwahahahahaha!!! 😂 😂 😂
Sometimes I regret being on FB ! But the TCH kids are too much fun. It’s good stuff as far as news goes. Sign up, don’t use your real name, (sadly, I use mine, for some reason I thought it would help find old friends, which unfortunately convinced me, why we haven’t been friends over 20- 50 some years). I think if I had to do over, I’d be Princess Consuela Banana Hammock (h/t Phoebe/Friends). You can be Leslie Winkle !
Yeah, we have fun, don’t we lol. I am still friends with a few libs, but I don’t bother them much, other than to read their agonies every time Trump wins. A lot of people I thought were friends have unfriendlied me. Oh well.
My family is there, and they are almost all Trump fans.
Smart Girl Politics Sane Space is a good (closed) group to join. Mostly bitching about our RL liberal friends 😉
I use my real name on FB because a lot of my former students hunt me down, but I keep politics off my own feed. When someone starts clogging my feed with liberal garbage, I don’t unfriend them, but I do unfollow them. Then when I want to see what’s going on in their life, I can bop on over to their feed and say hello, which I often do if it’s someone I care about.
That works for me too. 🙂
Lmao! This is my favorite comment on this blog in some time. Maybe ever. Succinct, compassionate, properly melodramatic, relatable, and tweetable (since they expanded the character allitment). I give it a 9.9 out of 8.
Go ahead and do it! I pretty much keep politics off my Twitter, since it’s connected to my Weinstein work. (Although my law-talking colleague doesn’t follow that rule, I think.)
question from last thread. Is he going to hire a lawyer or act as his own lawyer?
I miss *classic* Jim Carey, too bad he’s gone off the rails these days.
“The Mask” is gold. I totally identify with his character and would love to have a mask like that.
Alcohol kinda works. 🙂

Good suggestions. I’d add The Contender to the list and the five other movies named.

I have a question that somebody on the hill should be asking Wray. Is McCabe on administrative leave or is he burning through his personal leave? You see when he retires his sick leave remaining in roughly 30 day increments will add to his time in service, which then ups his pension by a fraction of a percent. His annual leave or vacation time he will be paid in cash for whatever is left.
Quite often when there is a kerfuffle like this with a higher up or someone well liked, they put the person on administrative leave which costs them nothing……administrative leave is a freebie, free paid time off. The answer to what kind of leave he’s on will tell us a few things about Wray.
If McCabe actually broke the law, whether he’s on leave or not, he can still be fired. Should he be fired he loses his pension. He will have appeal rights, etc., but if he knowingly and blatantly broke the law there is just cause to fire him. Again, coming back to Wray, if the memo shows or produces solid evidence that McCabe knowingly broke the law……then Wray should have had the balls to fire him straight up. Letting McCabe go out on leave, no matter the type is the pussy way out and doesn’t bode well for Wray IMO.
BTW, my money says Wray went total pussy and gave Andy a month off free with administrative leave.
If those on the hill don’t ask these questions POTUS should ask them……to borrow from Hannity……tick, tock, time is wasting once McCabe officially punches out his pension is safe.
I agree with you Somebody. Wray went total pussy and let that shithole walk.
Wray is playing for the Deep State. He dumped McCabe because he had to.
I think of that pic as the one on his eHarmony profile.
Boy, that friend was sure rude. Who does he think he is?
I wouldn’t have recognized him either, too muscled.
My first thought, “friend” looks much heavier than Jerry hours ago (at the Grammys)
Is that Jerry Seinfeld or his doppleganger? He looks a lot bulkier in that photo than her ever did on TV……and I thought the TV camera added 10 pounds.
With McCabe out of the way, Rosenstein is presumably next. When he gets sacked, Trump will have Rachel Brand fire Mueller and the whole Russia investigation will be over, with Trump vindicated and his enemies losing their minds. This should be highly amusing!
Whistleblowers are the true patriots here.
Will he be next?
I’m always astounded at how little it takes for them to commit crimes. It is always about a few bucks. Sure it is a wad of cash but chicken feed when compared to a ginormous legal fees and ugly prison terms. Same for Hillary, $149 million from Russia, !RUSSIA!, for our uranium. Obama it was a shitty ugly house then a pallet of cash skimmed for Iranian nukes. Pikers. Cheesy little punk ass thieves. It makes me think of “dragging a $1 through a trailer park” attributed to Carville when he was really talking about Dems only make it a $1000. Same difference.
Grammy ratings were a shithole.

Meggy Mac scores again. Maybe I was wrong about her. I sure was wrong about her dad when I called him an honorable man.

Is that because he thinks women are too weak and fragile to take care of themselves? Sure sounds sexist to me.
Disgusting people, all of them. Also hypocrites with their #MeToo crap.
I hate it when I agree with Piers Morgan.
house votes to release memo. shifty shiff spouts his usual BS

Shiff the pedophile. Seriously, he has that pedo vibe going strong.
I have been watching whiny Schiff on FBN. Vote passed to release the memo.
He tried to stop it, all his amendments voted down. They also voted against releasing his memo now, said they may revisit that in a week or two. So, he can’t upstage this one with his hastily written memo. (Look for leaks. 😉)

I sure wish I had taken out stock in Depends.
It goes to the President now? President Trump might have to add to his SOTU speech.
I confess, I want heads to roll. They deserve it. They so richly deserve it.
I want heads to LITERALLY roll. They deserve it. They so richly deserve it.
All I need as a reminder is how the government took that sailor to task for a photo. These mofos need to pay. Leona Helmsley always said that laws were for the little people. Well, let’s change that.

Holy Shit is it is really getting interesting now. He better get a whole law firm
I think the “mystery” of the memo is what is the memo a summary of. The general assumption is that it is based on FBI/DOJ documents released to the committee in early Jan. this year, documenting the FISA activity involving “spying” on the Trump campaign. The real bomb shell will be if the memo is based on Nunes’ review of WH documents in March 2017. These were likely Presidential Daily Briefings (Obama directly involved) detailing FISA and “spying” on Trump campaign.

quite a cabal there in the FBI.
I was folding some clothes when I noticed a Swiffer pad mixed in with the clothes. I guess I am out of dryer sheets.

yes she did cover for another sexual predator. seems to have a habit of doing that, while lying about being FOR women. Friends like this you don’t need any ememies
They are planning their impeachment party.
It will go as well as Hillary’s victory party did. Did they buy fireworks too?
Maybe they’ll do it right and include some special grape kool-aid.
We can only hope!
I know better and yet I clicked.

Please lrt this all betrue & be exposed
Also, I hope Trump and his family still have private security. Not to be totally under a tinfoil hat, but I worry.
If this is so, then it’s totally astonishing. No wonder the hysteria over Trump’s election.
Lol
These lefty assholes are so blind.
Loved Angie’s comment here.
Democrats love their police state.
Parody account:
Your comment is still true. LOL. Has Comey tweeted lately?
“Andrew McCabe stood tall, so tall that he can look down at the millions of small people”
*****
Parody but true reflection of Andy’s Hubris……After being named acting director, after Comey was fired, he show up to work in his newly purchased Porsche GT3. The Porsche cost more than his pre-tax gov’t salary.
Little details like that matter.
Bribes Matter. And it was an in your face to all the FBI personnel who don’t take them. As the story goes President Trump called him and his cutout wife for the Hillary bribe LOSER. Both of them belong in jail.
❤ I bow to you.
there are no words for this one

nancy comes unglued over memo release
Nancy has become unglued frequently over the past year or so. Because I became me flustered more frequently than i have in the past, I have some compassion for her. More than that, however, I believe it’s way past time for her to step away from the mic and from government. She is looking less and less competent. She needs to take care of herself and leave the country to better stewards.
I predict that Trump will release the memo on Thursday. He won’t release it before the SOTU or the day after, and he won’t wait for the weekend. If not Thursday, then next Tuesday.
sounds logical. he will want wednesday’s topic to be his speech. If not thursday how about the usual friday news dump?
If it gets released on Friday then the memo is a bust.
