NEW: Acting FBI Director McCabe just passed on nuking Donald Trump at Senate oversight hearing
Twitchy ^

Posted on 05/11/2017 8:53:33 AM PDT by Stopthethreat

Liberals are desperate to prove that President Trump fired James Comey as FBI Director as a part of some grand scheme to end any investigation into ties between his campaign and Russia. Well, if that was the president’s plan, Trump accidentally put in charge of the FBI someone we’ve criticized in the past for his close ties to the Clinton money machine: Andrew McCabe. Why would the president do that?

Anyway, McCabe, who is testifying right now in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, just had a spoon-fed opportunity to nuke the president and he passed.

Here’s Senator Richard Burr asking McCabe to comment on Trump’s letter to Comey alleging that the former FBI director had privately told the president on “three separate occasions” that he wasn’t the target of the investigation.

He’s playing a game. Appear conciliatory in public while knifing POTUS in the back with leaking to the Democrat Media complex.

McCabe is desperate to keep on as acting director.


Nope. He’s playing nice in his beltway theater perofrmance and trying to make Trump look bad when he gets fired.

“He’s playing a game. Appear conciliatory in public while knifing POTUS in the back with leaking to the Democrat Media complex.”

It was recently reported that in a staff meeting, McCabe supposedly sald: “We’re going to f-ck Flynn, then we are going to f-ck Trump!” If that’s actually true, McCabe will be packing very soon. Trump has a list of “interim Director candidates,” and I don’t think McCabe is on it. And since it’s an “interim position” he can make the “appointment” without Senate confirmation, so he can install the person of his choice, then slow walk the confirmation of either this guy or someone else he likes.

How many times does Trump have to be cleared and how many different people have to clear him before they let it go?!

Trump should leak that he is considering rehiring Comey just to mess with them.

I think we are going to find later that McCabee was gelded before Comey was fired.

Right. McCabe knows he is going to get canned and doesn’t want to appear to be insubordinate in public.

McCabe’s wife got huge bucks to run a fake congressional campaign from the Democrat governor if Virginia. I wouldn’t trust that snake (Director McCabe) for anything.

The liberals are going to be so burnt out from their daily Chicken Little outrages by the time the next elections roll around.

His main concern is keeping the one he's got now. My advice to him would be to take all his personal effects home now.

Best advice that he will get today...bag it and tag it and send it to the rail head...Lock and load, here come the commie gooks.

"...Who was the idiot Senator..."

You'll have to be a lot more specific than that.

so take all his personal effects home now.

That took me back to memories of chatty ones in the office who talked up their career moves. They made big plans to use their current position to move ahead, but sometimes at the expense of their boss.

The Real funny one was the guy who asked for a meeting with the boss and told others ahead of time he was going to let the boss in on the plans.

The boss turned the tables on him. While meeting with the boss, a crew came in, cleaned out his desk, secured his files and computer access. Once the chatty guy let the cat out of the bag for his big plans, The boss became very sympathetic - "Tom, I want to work with you to make those plans happen. How about you just give me your office keys out of your pocket and any other company property on your person. Sam here from security has a box of your personal belongings from your old office and will escort you to the door. Your last check will be mailed to you. Thank You for your many years of loyalty to the firm.
