Looks like Junior let the Cat out of the Bag

It was good enough to fire McCabe, no one argues its factually inaccurate, but now days later they want to protect the names of those involved in a scandal that was big enough to fire a senior official a month before retirement? They don’t deserve a pass on that!

Well now. I thought McCabe retired.
Looks like Junior is either talking out his ass or he spilled the beans.

1. Ruh roh, the story was he just took his days off to leave early with full benefits. Nothing to see.

This is a horse of a different color.

2. Oh FFS sake! How are all these fuckin' Fredos not under the jail by now? nt

3. No it just proves that JR is an idiot, again.

McCabe actions before the election were being reviewed because the allegation was that he slowed the investigation into Clinton's emails while his wife was running for office and getting donations from Clinton friendly sources.

The Nunes memo has nothing to do with that but alleges that the application for the FISA warrant was based on the Steele document, which it really wasn't.

McCabe probably didn't do anything wrong, and there wasn't anything substantial in the emails anyway but it would have been prudent to have anyone who has a significant other running for Congress to be moved to criminal investigation that has nothing to with politics. They have lots of other crimes that need investigation and it seems logical that anyone who has a close connection with a candidate in either party should not be involved in crimes related to the election or misdeeds in office.

16. It sounds like the "dankness" has affected what passes for his brain.

30. Wife ran for State assembly in 2015

While Clinton email investigation may have been underway then, 2015 elections were over and he had cleared all with FBI ethics before assuming email position. It's Comrade Nunes trying to grab on to something that was over and done with.

35. Thanks for the clarification

[SunSeeker]

37. It's not a clarification, it's a correction, which is something you should do with your post. nt

40. McCabe is a lawyer and is bound by a lawyer's ethics.

His personal opinion is not an issue. He follows his ethics, I will bet.

Loyalty to your client which in the FBI is the American people is the basis of a lawyer's ethics.

McCabe's conduct of the investigation would not have been affected by his wife's campaign.

Lawyers have to defend repugnant criminals with honesty and loyalty. Lawyers don't think like other people. At least good ones like McCabe don't. They think about what is best for their client. Period.

34. Oh, please. Please don't let her form that oral rictus that is supposed to be a

It makes my anus contract in disgust every time I watch her open and close her mouth.

Actually it's been a hard few days with all the sound bites from all of the assholes on the radio. Is there a version of NPR that bleeps their voices? Maybe just play a good raspberry instead?

41. I've never seen an administration as marked by ugly grimaces as the Trump one.

I thought Trump would completely disfigure his face what with all the grimaces he made during his State of the Union.

The only one who doesn't make these grimaces is Kelly, and he looks constipated most of the time.

31. Lol!

"putting this shit back in the horse" -- I like it!

5. Hey Junior, get your facts straight, dumbass!

[Qutzupalotl]

6. Junior is talking out his ass again.

Wray did ask McCabe to leave early, and it was a day after seeing the memo, but it was not because of the memo. Post hoc ergo propter hoc (“after this, therefore because of this”) is a fallacy.

Wray is planning to issue a point-by-point rebuttal to the memo if it is released. He would not fire someone based on a lie-riddled memo.

[YessirAtsaFact]

10. McCabe left early because he was going to be used as a distraction

Apparently there was some delay regarding HRC’s emails.

Don’t think it had anything to do with Nunes Nonsense.

Just proactive management taking a club out of the repugs hands.

[uponit7771]

13. That makes no sense, they all could leave in that case Red Don doesn't have

.... to officially fire anyone.

[erronis]

38. I've seen that referred to as "nunesence".

In older age it could be "nunesenescence".

For the dump it is just a lack of a brain from the get go.

7. Has donnie boywonder seen the Memo???

It was good enough to fire McCabe, no one argues its factually inaccurate - YES they do Donnie nutjob...sliced and diced to fit the WH narrative....

Now, as for McCabe being FIRED, you say??? Hello Donnie - Daddy wants to talk to you behind the woodshed...

[HipChick]

22. How is he allowed to see the memo without a security clearance?

[asiliveandbreathe]

24. It was a question..merely based on what Donnie jr said in his tweet....sorry if

my musing was unclear...

[HipChick]

29. No worries....but I would not be surprized if he has...

they are not exactly following any rules..

8. From the guy who conducted this email exchange

He gets an email that contains the confirmation that "Russia and its government" were supporting his father's candidacy and were looking to take additional steps to do it and he says he's all for it. He doesn't strike me as someone who is very aware of the circumstances he's living in. I guess growing up rich and privileged saps you of certain instincts.

Good morning

Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.

The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.

This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin.

What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?

I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.

Best

Thanks Rob I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?

Best,

Don

Big stupid mouth Jr. lol

25. "Life is hard. It's even harder when you're stupid."

Yes, that blissfully ironic quote was actually pinned to the top of Junior's Twitter account up until a few days ago.

26. Junior inherited daddy's big mouth.

I look for him to start pursing his lips and making okee-dokee signs any day now.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Lying by omission is covered by "noone argues it is factually inaccurate".

Even if the latter is true, the memo omits facts and misconstrues others.

That would be it's, not its. It's is a contraction of it is, which is what The Little Dear was trying to say.
