[Chuz Life]

Caught the last half.


Still yawning.

And we should care you are yawning why exactly?

Because you know I'm right.

Fair enough.

 

[blackhawk]

He seems to be a major asshat who abused his power.

 

[Jackson]

He's not a good liar. Hope he gets years for lying to the FBI three times. And he said that was an accident or something?

He also revealed classified information in the interview tonight about what Trump said in an Intel meeting about North Korea Missile.

This is obviously classified material that can not be shared publicly. Even if it is a second hand account, he can not share classified info. Add this to the list of things he should prosecuted for.... in addition to lying under oath, according to the Inspector General.

McCabe is a great American patriot.



'I Believe Putin:' Andrew McCabe Claims Trump Listened To Russia More Than U.S. Intelligence

 

[basquebromance]

"Wow, so many lies by now disgraced acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. He was fired for lying, and now his story gets even more deranged. He and Rod Rosenstein, who was hired by Jeff Sessions (another beauty), look like they were planning a very illegal act, and got caught

There is a lot of explaining to do to the millions of people who had just elected a president who they really like and who has done a great job for them with the Military, Vets, Economy and so much more. This was the illegal and treasonous “insurance policy” in full action!" - Trump

Show what McCabe did that was illegal. Go ahead Trumptard, we want to laugh.

Trump was/is compromised but you stupid fucking Trump cult members are too fucking blind to see it. Trump is a no good cocksucker who belongs in the slammer along with the rest of his mob.

"After two years and interviewing more than two hundred witnesses, the Senate Intelligence Committee has NOT discovered any direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and Russia.” Ken Dilanian @NBCNews

He also revealed classified information in the interview tonight about what Trump said in an Intel meeting about North Korea Missile.

That was an interesting exchange actually.

Trump was claiming that North Korean missiles could not hit the Continental US mainland. He got this "information" from Putin and he was told by his own people that it was false and said he didn't care...he believed PUTIN

And oh by the way...that was public knowledge

 

[Lesh]

the Senate Intelligence Committee has NOT discovered any direct evidence of a conspiracy

Partly because they didn't look very hard but notice the wording.

has NOT discovered any direct evidence..

Plenty of circumstantial evidence even though they didn't try very hard

 

[harmonica]

as if 60 Minutes does not do sensationalism crap

McCabe’s answer:

McCabe issued this statement after he was fired.

“I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. I spent half of that time investigating Russian Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City. I have spent the second half of my career focusing on national security issues and protecting this country from terrorism. I served in some of the most challenging, demanding investigative and leadership roles in the FBI. And I was privileged to serve as Deputy Director during a particularly tough time.

“For the last year and a half, my family and I have been the targets of an unrelenting assault on our reputation and my service to this country. Articles too numerous to count have leveled every sort of false, defamatory and degrading allegation against us. The President's tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all. He called for my firing. He called for me to be stripped of my pension after more than 20 years of service. And all along we have said nothing, never wanting to distract from the mission of the FBI by addressing the lies told and repeated about us.

“No more.

“The investigation by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General (OIG) has to be understood in the context of the attacks on my credibility. The investigation flows from my attempt to explain the FBI's involvement and my supervision of investigations involving Hillary Clinton. I was being portrayed in the media over and over as a political partisan, accused of closing down investigations under political pressure. The FBI was portrayed as caving under that pressure, and making decisions for political rather than law enforcement purposes. Nothing was further from the truth. In fact, this entire investigation stems from my efforts, fully authorized under FBI rules, to set the record straight on behalf of the Bureau, and to make clear that we were continuing an investigation that people in DOJ opposed.

“The OIG investigation has focused on information I chose to share with a reporter through my public affairs officer and a legal counselor. As Deputy Director, I was one of only a few people who had the authority to do that. It was not a secret, it took place over several days, and others, including the Director, were aware of the interaction with the reporter. It was the type of exchange with the media that the Deputy Director oversees several times per week. In fact, it was the same type of work that I continued to do under Director Wray, at his request. The investigation subsequently focused on who I talked to, when I talked to them, and so forth. During these inquiries, I answered questions truthfully and as accurately as I could amidst the chaos that surrounded me. And when I thought my answers were misunderstood, I contacted investigators to correct them.

“But looking at that in isolation completely misses the big picture. The big picture is a tale of what can happen when law enforcement is politicized, public servants are attacked, and people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions become instruments for damaging those institutions and people.

“Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey. The release of this report was accelerated only after my testimony to the House Intelligence Committee revealed that I would corroborate former Director Comey's accounts of his discussions with the President. The OIG's focus on me and this report became a part of an unprecedented effort by the Administration, driven by the President himself, to remove me from my position, destroy my reputation, and possibly strip me of a pension that I worked 21 years to earn. The accelerated release of the report, and the punitive actions taken in response, make sense only when viewed through this lens. Thursday's comments from the White House are just the latest example of this.

McCabe was no patriot. He deserved to get fired and now he deserves to be indicted. He participated in a coup to remove our first natural born Citizen president in 8 years.

McCabe was no patriot

According to Putin and his minions

Lied under oath, where is the FBI swat teams pounding on the door with loaded assault rifles, at 4am in the morning?

[BWK]

Starts in 4 minutes. Your thoughts?

McCabe had no other choice but to investigate;
McCabe claims he was fired over opening the investigation into Trump

 

[BWK]

60 Minutes asked the White House for comment on McCabe’s claims and received this statement: “Andrew McCabe was fired in disgrace from the FBI for lying, and he opened a completely baseless investigation into the president. Everyone knows he has no credibility.”

Andrew McCabe was fired because McCabe knows Trump is an agent for Putin and that McCabe was looking into Trump about it. Trump fired McCabe for the same reason he fired Comey. .
