Adam Schiff: Andrew McCabe's firing 'may be justified'
Washington Examiner ^ | 03/18/18

Posted on 03/18/2018 4:11:16 PM PDT by Liberty7732

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday he feels the firing of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe may be justified, contrary to his party’s messaging in the last two days.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said on ABC’s “This Week” said he’s waiting to see more information on McCabe’s dismissal before making an ultimate judgment. Democrats and ex-intelligence officials have roundly criticized the decision by Attorney General Jeff Sessions — seen as imposed by President Trump — to fire McCabe two days before his pension would have vested.

“You know, his firing may be justified,” Schiff said.

You nailed it first.

Something's amiss that we're not privy to.

This is very un-Schiffless like.

Somebody got to him or the narrative has taken a 180 degree turn in the other direction.

They're getting bits and pieces of the DOJ IG report and are starting to run for cover?

Why would Schiff say this? Has McCabe become the latest du jour sacrificial lamb of the Deep State and Swamp cabal this month? Have they turned on him and decided to throw him under the bus?

"He probably deserved to be fired and oh, by the way, we don't know him but he's a liar. Don't believe anything he tells you."

An article on another thread today quoted McCabe as saying: "First we f#ck Flynn, then we f#ck Trump."

Buh-Bye.

The reason why Sessions pawned this massive conspiracy of high treason off on the IG was in order to white wash it for the corrupt state. That’s why Trump tweeted out his displeasure with Mr. Magoo’s actions.

The IG is going to try and contain this to McCabe and a few other inconsequential underlings. They can’t afford for hillary and obama to be caught in this and they won’t pull that thread, imo. If they do, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Schiff got the message and is changing his tune accordingly.

Schiff is scared Schiffless.

I'm not a doctor, but I think Schiff for brains is suffering from an ingrown erection and it is fu*cking him to death.

I don't know if I agree with your premise entirely.

But the idea that they are trying to limit their losses by throwing McCabe under the bus makes sense.

They're hoping to get their arms around this before Obama, Hillary, Comey, et. al. get swept up into the scandal.

McCabe will get his pension replaced by the democRATS directing traffic in this conspiracy for being a good foot soldier and taking the heat.

Agreed.

The word is going out among Democrats. It may be because otherwise they make such colossal fools of themselves, with their big lying mouths, that they had to be reined in prior to election time.

Listen to McCabe’ s hysterical diatribe, passed off as a “response statement”, followed by Brennan, who proved the case of bias and threat against Trump. He rode the shark right into traffic with that insanely vicious tweet.

Mika the Mouth and her ScarredBurro squeeze, will be apoplectic tomorrow! LOL! They ignore the heads up, due to their personal and pathological rage against the president.

“Schiffty must have seen McCabe’s emails and text messages...”

Maybe they’re the internal FBI messages discussing assassination of Trump — the ones recently discovered.

His comments are akin to a retraction by a newspaper on page 37 below an ad for Viagra.

This is when McCabe realizes he not part of the protected class. His pension was just the start.

Hmmm. Viagra and "pencil neck" Schiff. It is beginning to make sense. I've heard him referred to as dick head before.

Schiffless is a known leaker.

His name may be mentioned in the IG report and not in a good light.

The narrative has changed almost overnight. Or at least the willingness to give up McCabe to keep this thing from steamrolling the democRATS too badly has.

This statement to the press is very unShiftless.

Something's amiss.
