Just tried to stomach a bit of the Sunday talking heads. Shrill doesn't even begin to describe them. I could only take about 10 minutes of "poor Andy McCabe, treated so bad". It did make me reflect on how much President Trump has accomplished facing so much resistance. Remarkable, nobody but DJT could do it. MAGA.

I heard some senator has offered McCabe a job as a election lawyer or something so he can complete his service tenure and get his cushy pension from the tax payers.

It's not even a thought to them who's money they are throwing around. Of course it's been like that a long long time.

The comments are hilarious....all of a sudden everyone on the left respects and trusts the military. "He was a 4 Star so we should listen to him".

There is definitely a concerted attack by the establishment against Trump. I don't think it is going to end up the way they are hoping.

Brennan I get. He's been an ass hat from the get go. McCaffrey has me confused. I'll admit that I haven't paid much attention to McCaffrey but I would have assumed he was a good guy?

And what's he even talking about? Didn't the White House just issue some stiff new sanctions against Russia for election meddling? Something that Obama never even did?

the media is protecting the swamp ....

McCabe's firing demonstrates that the swamp is deep


A person appointed by President Obama recommends the firing of an FBI agent because of serious misconduct and lying. Attorney General Jeff Sessions fires him per that recommendation, and the U.S. president supports that decision. Of course, the media and Democrats, in feigned outrage, call it a political firing and defend the FBI's now-former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and want the taxpayers to pay the fifty year-old liar's generous pension.

I would think that the media and Democrats would want people at the FBI to be honest, unbiased, and accountable. They certainly would not want the taxpayers on the hook from this and force future generations to have to pay millions to government bureaucrats who violated the public trust, would they?

Nope, instead of caring about the integrity of the government, they go after Trump as they do every day.

The FBI’s Office of Personal Responsibility has recommended the firing of former deputy director Andrew McCabe, who is accused of serious misconduct.

The recommendation apparently resulted from a report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, which found that McCabe leaked sensitive details about the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation to a Wall Street Journal reporter and then lied about it to the IG’s office.

The way the media and other Democrats are reporting and acting on McCabe is the exact way they have treated most scandals the last eight years.

IRS tax-exempt section chief Lois Lerner violated the rights of political opponents of Obama, lied, and then destroyed documents and neither the FBI nor the media cared. Lerner collected her generous pension and went off into the retirement sunset.

Hillary and her aides continually violated laws, lied and destroyed documents and people at the FBI and Justice Department made sure she was not prosecuted. Then they lied about it. The media not only didn't care about that, they wholeheartedly supported Hillary for president.

Meanwhile, less powerful people were charged and went to jail for lesser crimes, and no one at Justice was punished for preferential treatment. Throughout all of this special treatment of Hillary, the media and Democrats pretended they cared about Justice for all.

Personnel at the Veterans Administration continually lied about wait lists and veterans died as they get poor treatment. Thank goodness the VA workers didn't get charged and lose their pensions.

The ATF lost track of guns in the Fast and Furious scandal and people died there, too, as a result but nobody lost his or her job or pension.

The Obama Administration illegally spied on thousands, including political opponents, illegally leaked, and illegally unmasked Americans caught up in intelligence dragnets, negating rules precisely to protect them, and instead of the media or other Democrats getting outraged, we find they targeted the same people.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder, former FBI Director James Comey, former U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former National Security Council Deputy Director Ben Rhodes, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and others repeatedly lied to Congress or to the American people through the press and instead of the Justice Department charging them or the media caring, they are held in high regard and are repeatedly used as sources to trash Trump.

Meanwhile, as many powerful perjurers are allowed to skate, Special Counsel Robert Mueller targets people surrounding Trump with perjury even though there was no underlying crime that caused the investigation in the first place and not one person in the media or Democrat cares that they and their families are losing their money and livelihoods.

Yet they care about McCabe?

Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn did not commit any crime, and yet Mueller charged him with lying, and he is losing his house to pay lawyers while the media and Democrats yawn. They don't care about Flynn but they care about McCabe? The case against Flynn was not even a good case.

According to two sources familiar with the meetings, Comey told lawmakers that the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn did not believe that Flynn had lied to them, or that any inaccuracies in his answers were intentional. As a result, some of those in attendance came away with the impression that Flynn would not be charged with a crime pertaining to the Jan. 24 interview.

We are repeatedly told that Russia has tried to influence U.S elections for years, yet the first investigation came after Trump was elected, and after the media, House intelligence committee Democrat Adam Schiff, other Democrats, and the Justice Department clearly knew that the Steele dossier was fake and paid for by Hillary and the Democratic National Committee and that the spying that it led to was unjustified. Yet the investigation of Trump and his people continues.

If intelligence agencies and the Justice Department actually thought there was interference in elections by Russians, they would also have investigated people surrounding Hillary and Obama but they did not, they only targeted Trump.

The investigation by Mueller is and has always been a witch hunt targeting Trump and it is destroying a lot of people, but the media and Democrats only have cared so far about McCabe and other FBI agents who clearly violated their duty by protecting Hillary, targeting Trump, and not telling the truth about it.

The swamp is deep and Trump is obviously not the problem. The main problem is that the majority of the media is protecting the swamp instead of the American people. I would think they would be ashamed but they are not. They continue to double down.

Samantha Power: “Not a good idea to piss off John Brennan.”

The very idea that a Brennan and Power, two former Cabinet-level officials in the Obama administration, are publicly hurling not-so-veiled threats at a sitting American president, is not only beyond the pale, but must be taken seriously.

It is important to remember that this is not the first time Trump has been threatened with Deep State reprisal. In January of last year, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, (D-NY) seemed to gloat over the fact that the intelligence community has “six ways from Sunday at getting back at you” — meaning Trump.

In February, Phil Mudd, a CNN counter-terrorism analyst, publicly warned Trump that the F.B.I would seek revenge against Trump and “win.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And we have the usual suspects from the REP side:

Lindsey Graham: “To the average American, I think we owe it to the average American to have a hearing in the Judiciary Committee where Mr. Sessions, Attorney General Sessions comes forward, with whatever documentation he has about the firing and give Mr. McCabe has a chance to defend himself. I believe when it comes to this issue, we need as much transparency as possible and make sure it wasn’t politically motivated.”

Marco Rubio: “I don’t like the way it happened. He should have been allowed to finish through the weekend.” “I would’ve certainly done it differently given the fact there’s still this report out there that hasn’t come in.”

Jeff Flake: “When the president said it was a great day for democracy yesterday, I think it was a horrible day for democracy. To have firings like this happening at the top, from the president and the attorney general, does not speak well for what’s going on. So I don’t know what the designs are on Mueller, but it seems to be building toward that.’

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We have never had a President so in tune with the hard working, honest, and law abiding population, but so obstructed by DEMs, REPs, federal bureaucracy, and media. Graham and Rubio are pathetic small sore losers.

Flake is just a shit head who knows he couldn't get reelected.

Hopefully the IG report comes out soon, and when it does there had better be a special prosecutor appointed that has free reign to go after and prosecute these traitors.

I've seen a few articles this week suggesting the Democrats are going to win back the House. I think they are just laying the framework for their attempts after.

Possible loss of the house os another reason why a special investigator needs to be appointed before November. If the democrats take the house every house congressional investigation into corruption will be shut down immediately.

How can we expect them to exhibit integrity when they have absolutely none themselves?

Paul denounces ‘disgraceful’ ex-CIA chief Brennan over anti-Trump tirade!

Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday blasted former CIA Director John Brennan for suggesting that President Trump will be remembered as a “disgraced demagogue,” saying that Brennan spying on Americans while running the agency was disgraceful.

“This man had the power to search every American’s records without a warrant,” Paul tweeted Sunday. “What’s disgraceful is attacking the Bill of Rights and the freedom of every American.”

Paul’s professional dislike for Brennan is epic and goes back years.

In 2013, he staged a historic, 13-hour filibuster on the Senate floor to block President Barack Obama’s nomination of Brennan to lead the CIA, demanding answers to such concerns as whether the administration would execute a drone strike on an American on U.S. soil.


Then, 18 months later, Paul joined in a bipartisan call to have Brennan removed as the CIA chief, following revelations that the agency had spied on Senate Intelligence Committee staffers.

The most recent criticism follows Brennan’s response to Trump on Friday night after Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired FBI official Andrew McCabe two days before his retirement and eligibility for a full pension.

Sessions said he fired McCabe, the FBI’s onetime deputy director, following an FBI report and an inspector general’s report on McCabe’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email servers while she was secretary of state.


“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history,” tweeted Brennan, who on his Twitter page declares himself non-partisan. “You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you.”

Conservatives on social media also criticized Brennan's attack.

Critics claim former CIA chief John Brennan may have perjured himself over testimony about anti-Trump Steele dossier; former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz shares insight on 'The Story.'
“A year ago, media narrative was that intel chiefs were a bunch of apolitical boy scouts,” tweeted Mollie Hemingway, an editor for the online magazine The Federalist and a Fox News contributor. “As Brennan's increasingly unhinged tweets show, a year later, that narrative (and push by compliant media) looks patently absurd.”

Samantha Power, a U.N. ambassador for Obama, this weekend defended the ex-CIA director, tweeting, “Not a good idea to piss off John Brennan,” then had to send a follow-up tweet in an attempt to quell the backlash.

“Whoa! Just home & see much misinterp. of earlier tweet. It’s testament to polarized times that it cd be misread as referring to something other than Brennan’s indignation,” Power tweeted. “So will translate: not a good idea to upset @JohnBrennan bc/ he will raise an angry (& eloquent) voice.”

At least Rep Goodlatte (R-VA) takes the right position:

“Well I think the Attorney General did the right thing. It was the appropriate decision given the reports of his having leaked internal information to the media and then giving false information about that misleading information to those investigating the matter.

These are very serious concerns and they tie into the overall concern about how the FBI handled investigations into the elections last year, so the steps are appropriate,” said Rep. Goodlatte.
