Republican Rep. Charlie Dent (Pa.) said Saturday that the firing of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe on Friday looked to be a "vindictive" move by the president.
In an interview with CNN, Dent said that while he would wait for the inspector general's report to judge McCabe, his firing looked like retribution from the White House.
"This firing looks a bit forced, a bit rushed. Candidly, it looks like retribution and a bit vindictive," Dent said. "And I think it's unfortunate. The man said he's resigning, you know, and on a Friday night before his 50th birthday he's fired to take away his pension? I don't like the optics of this, I really don't."
Dent added that he believed Attorney General Jeff Sessions was "browbeaten" into firing McCabe Friday night after weeks of public humiliation from President Trump.
"It looks like the attorney general may have been browbeaten into this, he's been publicly humiliated and shamed by the president on multiple occasions, and I just don't think this bodes well."

What you mean by “we” keem-o-sabe?
There was enough to fire McCabe long ago. The main fault is the foot dragging of those who are responsible for getting the job done. Comey should have been fired the day after the inauguration. There was plenty of evidence to justify it.
I wonder how these cowards get any respect from their wives.
Ok, cancel the firing, and put him in Jail for twenty years for sedition, collusion, obstruction of justice and perjury.
Feel better?
It certainly would make me feel better, I am Beyond Tired of government employees committing Felony’s and just “retiring” so they are not prosecuted.
PUT HIS SORRY ARSE IN JAIL!
Because there is no "we" as far as we're concerned, when it comes to Republicans. And because there is no "we" as far as Trump is concerned, when it comes to Republicans.
Their "we" is quite evident, and it's the so-called uniparty permanent state.
I hope it is retribution, and I hope it is vindictive.
They say it like it’s a bad thing.
The Hill is a vile communist propaganda site whose sole purpose is to demoralize Trump supporters. That The Hill is engaged in treason to remove President Trump is obvious.
The Communist traitors at The Hill need to be reminded that the penalty for treason is death by hanging. Charlie Dent is a treasonous tool to attack Trump.
FReepers having fun here...
“There are times when I despise our side every bit as much as I despise their side.”
“Side” is an accurate description.
They are two cheeks on the same a$$.
When someone has power, and uses that power to do harm, it is good to take that power from them.
As soon as it said “Charlie Derp”, I stopped reading.
You can hope McCabe gets sanctioned, but in a world where they can accuse the President of treason on no evidence and start this entire Mueller freak show, I will not be surprised if McCabe snakes out of this.
If his lies are evidenced then he is done, but if he can shade it, he will walk.
He's NOT a moron. He's playing to the democrat narrative.
I’m beginning to think the only way to purge our side is to refuse to vote for incumbents.
