FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe fired

[Mountain Man]

Jim isn't the only one exposed in the hypocrisy over this. All of those who took such great joy screaming that Trump was a fascist, a dictator, "literally Hitler"... have all been quiet as church mice now that we have someone in the White House actually doing the sort of things they accused Trump of doing.

But I guess since old Joe doesn't tweet mean things they are okay with his tyrannical power grab and riding roughshod over the Constitution.

Not to mention ignoring credible accusations against Joe of sexual assault while loudly condemning Trump for having consensual extramarital affairs.

McCabe's fireable misconduct was unearthed by a Democrat-demanded inquiry that was launched during the Obama presidency, led by an Obama-appointed and Democrat-confirmed watchdog.

Several decades ago the mayor of Atlanta brought a buddy along into city government who proved to be as corrupt as they come. He later managed to get elected on the county commission in spite of numerous scandals and controversies. When they finally caught up with him and he was in court he played the card he always used and started screaming racism. It was only due to racism that he was being prosecuted for extortion and other crimes.

Of course the fact that the detectives in charge of the case were black, that their commanding officer was black (as was his and the Chief of Police), the DA was black, the judge was black... literally everyone involved in the prosecution was black except one of the bailiffs meant nothing. It was racism.

Jim is acting like that politician. McCabe wasn't corrupt and deserving of termination. It was a "mafia hit" and "trumped up charges" of some poor innocent lamb.

You imply that whatever information they divulged would have been embarrassing to themselves, but seriously, do you really think anybody currently in charge felt motivated to protect former officials appointed by President Trump from embarrassing themselves? Come on, man. The fact is, the only one who's head was in the noose was McCabe, and the New York Times suggests the FBI and DOJ were motivated to drop the charges not because of a sense of a justice but because of a desire to "avoid the risk that moving toward a trial could produce embarrassing information through the discovery process and depositions."

It looks to me like what would have been embarrassing was how the FBI caved to pressure from Trump to speed up the process, in order to fire McCabe before he retired.

Yes, I'm sure that's how it looks to you.

Sure, it was Trump's consensual extramarital affairs that people were condemning. /s

That's the crazy chick who freaked out Anderson Cooper during a live interview when she slyly grinned at him and said that rape is sexy.

Not to mention there is no evidence whatsoever to support her allegations.

That's a good one.








Wot? You were being serious? Really?
Well, in that case...

I guess that's what the edited version of the interview showed.

What is the evidence to support the allegations against Joe?

Wait --- you think they edited that IN?!?!?!

Tara Reade is everything that Blasey-Ford wasn't when it comes to a credible accuser. For one thing she was telling folks about old Joe's sexually assaulting her immediately afterwards and her story has been pretty consistent. Not to mention old Joe's accusers have nearly all been Democrat operatives. Fellow travelers with no ulterior motives for making such an accusation -- unlike Blasey-Ford. In fact they had everything to lose by accusing someone on their own team of such things.

And notice that I said "they." There are something like eight credible accusers.

And then there is the duffer's propensity for repeatedly exposing himself to female Secret Service agents assigned to protect him when he was VP. He would continue doing so even after they filed complaints.

Not to mention countless incriminating photos and videos of him inappropriately touching women and little girls. Which begs the question: if that's what he does when he knows there are cameras around, can you imagine what he gets up to behind closed doors?

No. I suspect they edited something out.

On CNN, she explained why she preferred the word “fight” to “rape”: “I think most people think rape is sexy. Think of the fantasies.” (She explained later that she was referring to romance novels that depict men ravishing women. “This was not thrilling, this was a fight,” she said. “A fight where I’m stamping on his feet and I think I’m banging him on the head with my purse.”)

So, she said something really stupid, realized it later, and tried to walk it back. What was "edited"?

I haven't seen the original tape, but the implication is that she said, "I think most people think rape is sexy" rather than "Rape is sexy."

Either way, she's dumber than a sack of squid poop.
