It looks like there is a brand new wave of lock her up coming. McAbe is tied to Clinton, and has been part of Senator Grassley’s big push to investigate the FBI for failing to properly arrest Hillary Clinton.
Well I hope they celebrate in a way that actually delivers positive results.
Pardon the list but, some notable reactions:
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Trump’s firings of Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, and James Comey: “This does not seem to be a coincidence.”
Edward Snowden: “Set aside politics: every American should condemn such political interference in the Bureau’s work. This FBI Director has sought for years to jail me on account of my political activities. If I can oppose his firing, so can you.”
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA): Comey firing “disturbingly reminiscent of the Saturday Night Massacre during the Watergate scandal &the natl turmoil that it caused.”
ACLU: “The independence of the FBI director is meant to ensure that the president does not operate above the law. For President Trump to fire the man responsible for investigating his own campaign’s ties to the Russians imperils that fundamental principle.”
Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI): My staff and I are reviewing legislation to establish an independent commission on Russia. The second paragraph of this letter is bizarre.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA): “But does anyone seriously believe @realDonaldTrump fired the top person investigating his ties to Russia because he was unfair to Hillary?”
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA): “Trump firing Comey shows how frightened the Admin is over Russia investigation.”
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA): “This is Nixonian.” Called for immediate appointment of special counsel on Trump/Russia.
Fox News’ Sean Hannity: “Comey Fired!!! Finally.”
Brian Fallon, national press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign: “I’m not shedding any tears for Comey personally -he hurt FBI’s reputation- but I do worry whether we ever get to the bottom of Russia now.”
CNN’s Jim Sciutto: “Remember AG Sessions, who recused himself from Russia investigation, has fired the leader of that investigation, Director Comey.”
DNC Chair Tom Perez: “Trump fired the man investigating him — a deeply dangerous abuse of power. We need a special prosecutor, now.”
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD): Calls for emergency hearings, says it’s “mind boggling” that Sessions “was directly involved” in call to fire.
Sessions’ letter does have that ring of ‘I was told to write this in this way’ about it.
And you are right:
So Session recuses himself from the FBI investigation into Trump (and him), then launches an investigation into the FBI?
This is just impressive.
But hey, Wikileaks is doing a jig and already cited the Daily Mail’s anti-McCabe story and Senator Grassey’s conspiracy about Hillary being to be FBI what Soros is to all of us shills.
Gee, “find some reasons”? Sounds just like the Muslim travel ban.
That shit is just not funny.
It will be the faggots, the spics, the turbans, the dope smokers, and all the other weirdos that will die at the hands of every-day-Joe-The-Plumber types high on fake news and unrequited spite.
Basically this whole board would disappear overnight (including this dope-smoking-cock-sucking-faggot-and-a-half).

To volunteer his testimony and deliver on a promise—an oath, actually—to tell the truth and nothing but the truth about what he knew and when he knew it would be the biggest surprise yet of Trump’s presidency. And really, it’s a win-win, because even for those less concerned about the president’s commitment to facts and honesty, it will provide reason to be reassured. They will see that the candidate they elected for being bold and shaking things up remains committed to the same ethos as president.
After all, people are beginning to ask: Does Trump believe he can keep a reputation for doing big things by holding signing ceremonies for small-ball executive orders? Does he plan to hold a Rose Garden ceremony for every piece of legislation that passes though one house of Congress? This doesn’t sound like a president who won a massive victory and attracted the biggest inaugural crowd in history. Period.
somehow I don’t think he’s completely serious
"And while the House Intelligence Committee may no longer be an option, this could be another case for Trump in which an obstacle is really an opportunity dressed in disguise. The Senate’s investigation, unlike the hash Trump’s team has made in the House, remains credible. By testifying before the only game in town, the president would be showing the kind of fearlessness he’s brought to real estate deals with tough guys like the Azerbaijani developers behind Trump Tower Baku, with their ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
Pence is obviously totally complicit.
It would be a bizarre twist to install a new president who’s clearly guilty of participation in the crimes of the impeached predecessor.
Then again, reality is already far more bizarre than I’d imagined possible…
It’s prob James Okeefe
With Comey gone, there’s only one man for the job:
Burt Macklin, FBI
If Trump isn’t guilty why does he act like he is?
What’s the matter, wasn’t Archibald Cox available to be fired?
Wow. Pretty unbelievable.
Is there an organization left with enough power to prosecute if he is found complicit in the hacking?
That’s actually being generous. Even Nixon never fired the Director of the FBI.
This is one of those assholes that turned their vote around re the AHA.
