Democrats are laying into Donald Trump after he had Attorney General Jeff Sessions fire deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe late Friday night, only days before McCabe was set to retire with full benefits. While Trump considered it a victory, leaders on the other side of the aisle had harsh words for the president.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who is on the House Intelligence Committee, said Trump would be fired soon.

Swalwell is another Democrat Ken Doll. He is trying to raise his profile to run for national office. I am so fed up with the Dems and their agenda.

Missed their outrage when Flynn had his life falsely destroyed by McCabe.

It would not be shocked if we had a coup in this country. I think Obama’s military would support it.


Just the other day, Gen (ret.) Barry McCaffrey came out and said that Trump was in Putin’s pocket. Keep in mind these hypocrites were absolutely silent during Obama’s presidency.

Yep.

Kind of hoped they would realize that Pres Trump isn't going anywhere and move on.

I was wrong.

It's going to get ugly, unfortunately.

It’s the lieutenant colonels you have to watch - and I bet most of them are on our side. ......................... LOL, I’ve been saying that all along. I still am a strong supporter for Alen West. I’d put 0-6’s in there also.

No kidding. Everything (even FOX) has been “...days before he gets his pension.” Poor widdle McCabe.

The guy was stepping down all by himself. In the end, he set himself up. Dumb....

Hope Comey was the "Brother" that tutored him on grabbing his early pension.

I’m betting that Comey withdraws his book....until he revises it and takes all the self-made nooses out of it.

I’m sure you had a 100K pension at 49 for the rest of your life.

“I think Obama’s military would support it.”

Obama doesn’t have a military. Uniformed military, especially the combat units, are mainly conservative. The non-uniformed government agencies such as FBI, CIA, DEA, ATF, etc, at the rank and file level are probably mostly conservative as well. American civilian gun owners, many who are veterans, are conservative to moderate. So, liberals who are spouting off about “war” are having a wet dream....

Deep State operatives are pretty spun up over this. What does it mean?

I don't know. Civil war maybe?

The butthurt is only 50 years old. He doesn’t lose all his pension. Federal pension has convoluted vesting requirements. McCabe is already a multi-millionaire. Gee, how does THAT happen as a government employee?

McCabe was only one of many players who under orders from Obama attempted to prevent the election of Trump and then tried to prevent him from taking office. These vile people must be brought to justice and answer for their crimes.

I noticed that little Dick Durbin said, sonorously and ominously, that if Trump fires Mueller, it would provoke a Constitutional crisis.

Why? Mueller’s probe was instigated by Rosenstein, who is in the Executive Branch. Trump heads up the Executive Branch. Trump would not legally or Constitutionally defy any other branch of government by any action he takes in the branch he heads.

Little Dick Durbin is trying to use some legerdemain to advance his own demented agenda.
