Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Down goes McCabe! Down goes McCabe! Down goes McCabe! – Sweaty swamp snake Andrew McCabe got his formal walking papers from Attorney General Jeff Sessions last night, one day before he turns 50 and his lucrative federal pension was about to kick in. Despite the buttoned-down bureaucratic nature of the decision, based as it was on an Inspector General investigation and a firing recommendation from the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility, the fake news media went into full fakery mode, declaring that this firing of a single well-documented bad actor means that President Donald Trump “is at war with the FBI.”
Over at MSNBC, the geriatric Andrea Mitchell, who has been faking the news since the Nixon Administration, issued this tweet in her self-described role as a “McCabe supporter”:
Andrea Mitchell ✔ @mitchellreports One suggestion from a McCabe supporter: if a friendly member of Congress hired him for a week he could possibly qualify for pension benefits by extending his service the extra days
Remember, this is a person who wants you to believe she reports the “news” for a living.
McCabe himself didn’t take the news very well, issuing a long, self-serving statement that had obviously been carefully written by communications professionals, in which he portrays the President as the devil and himself as pure as the driven snow, and is fully consistent with the prevailing Democrat/media narrative on the matter. Here’s a couple of paragraphs:
“This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally,” McCabe said. “It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel’s work.
“For the last year and a half, my family and I have been the targets of an unrelenting assault on our reputation and my service to this country,” McCabe continued. “Articles too numerous to count have leveled every sort of false, defamatory and degrading allegation against us. The President’s tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all. He called for my firing. He called for me to be stripped of my pension after more than 20 years of service. And all along we have said nothing, never wanting to distract from the mission of the FBI by addressing the lies told and repeated about us. No more.”
‘War with the FBI’, ‘Trump has attacked me’, ‘Trump’s tweets are the problem’, bring the family into it because it helps build public sympathy, yada yada yada, blah blah blah. All the hallmarks of a statement written by reliable leftist talking points monkeys, probably the same ones who wrote the script for all the programming on CNN and MSNBC last night.
Here’s the truth about Andrew McCabe and all the other swamp snakes and skunks who were involved in the DOJ/FBI Cabal’s efforts to fix the 2016 election for Hillary Clinton and then to hamstring the Trump presidency: Firing them and/or reassigning them is not enough. Denying them their pensions is not enough. Humiliating them on the Donald Trump Twitter feed is not enough.
It will never be enough until these people – each and every one of them, without exception, is prosecuted to the full extent of the law and tossed into federal prison for the rest of their lives for the damage they have done to our country. And that includes not only the bad actors at the FBI and DOJ – it includes all the bad actors at the Obama White House like Susan Rice and Samantha Power and Loretta Lynch and even Barack Obama if the conspiracy can be shown to have risen that high. It also must include the fake journalists at the various fake media outlets who knowingly coordinated efforts with the cabal, and there is plenty of evidence that numerous fake journalists did so.
The truth here is that the firing of McCabe must not be the end of this tale, but the beginning of an effort to finally, once and for all, de-corrupt the FBI and DOJ after 8 years of their having been utterly corrupted by a corrupt president and his lackeys. The truth is that the Trump White House needs to truly be at war with elements within the FBI and DOJ, and winning that war will require the good people who remain in those institutions to join the battle.
Hopefully, Jeff Sessions is up to that task. The decision to jettison McCabe is a positive sign, though we should now expect the fake news media to start mounting assaults on Sessions’ character now that he has publicly taken a side.
For America to become truly great again, the firing of Andrew McCabe must be remembered as the first symbolic shot fired in what will become a long and brutal legal battle to recapture the nation’s soul. Otherwise, it will go down in history as a meaningless futile gesture of a democracy destined to crumble.
Just another day in the game is afoot America.
That is all.

Today’s news moves at a faster pace than ever. Whatfinger.com is my go-to source for keeping up with all the latest events in real time.
The official independent FBI internal investigation on his conduct and recommended his firing was just completed and given to Sessions on Wednesday.
Sessions knows he has to to everything by the book, so that he can respond to media attacks on his character - which are inevitable - by pointing to official bureaucratic processes, like the coming IG report and this week’s OPR recommendation.
This is a crucial element to taking this seditious cabal out.
Talk about “Let em twist in the wind”!
The McCabe retort and every Democrat I have heard sound the same. There was a strategy session with one of those fancy law firms to get messaging out before the Sunday talk shows. Same ole, same ole. McCabe is mad because why should he expect to be held accountable?
EXCELLENT!!!! My family - our reputation - my service....
Kind of overboard, isn’t he? I would suppose his “family” or at least his wife knew the scum she was married to. I don’t suppose any democrats have made targets out of the Trump family! These people are so deaf, dumb and blind - which makes them perfect democrats and bureaucrats. I’m delighted we won’t be on the hook for his pension but I imagine that won’t be a done deal short of lawsuits. He no doubt has “friends” in the treasury department who will cut his checks and who will be the wiser?
“”For the last year and a half, my family and I have been the targets of an unrelenting assault on our reputation and my service to this country,””
Sara Carter said the publicly known allegations of “Andy” (leaking to the media, lying to investigators) is just a SLIVER of what is coming.
I am of the impression it is going to drag a number of people down including US AG Loretta Lynch.
Thx. Makes sense.
Waiting for McCabe to decide if he wanted to cooperate. I guess McCabe was calling the bluff of IG and OPR. They were not bluffing and now he is out. Lost his chance.
“Hopefully, Jeff Sessions is up to that task. ”
He’s not. Fire him, too.
L
If Sessions got the report on Wednesday, Thursday firing would have been called rush to judgement without due consideration, so either way it would be spun then.
This firing sends an important message to the rank and file FBI that it is now OK to come forward with information that Comedy and McCabe would have buried and sought retribution against them for.
Keep digging up more dirt & you’re gonna need a bigger shovel
......a bigger shovel.....and the assistance of every paid-up member of the ditch-diggers’ union.
It’s a start.
“Hopefully, Jeff Sessions is up to that task.”
I don’t know...one firing and zero indictments in 15 months is not very encouraging....especially in such a target rich environment.
“Now the question is: is this just Jeff throwing us a bone or the actual beginning of some Justice?”
Get rid of Rosenfeinstein and Muler then we can talk.
Thanx for important post
If Trump does not prosecute these crooks then the crooks will steal the next election and we will be like Russia and Mexico with false imprisonment and murders. See obama and Clinton news stories over the years as an example.
