    So this happened prior to the Republican Senate Intelligence Committee reporting their findings that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia?

    Good, so this guy was doing his job. And well.

    It's fun to see the right-wing fake media sites lie to people and try to rewrite history. Funny that it works on some people.

    Who was president in 2017? How could such an idiot allow an allegedly incompetent FBI leader continue in his job and do such horrible things? It's almost like you're saying that whoever was president in 2017 was a dimwitted reality show clown unfit for office. For once, I agree with you. :)

    This won't shock anyone, but the article has very little basis relating to anything in the memos. I read through all 21 pages of memos and can come to a few conclusions:

    • McCabe comes across as professional and thoughtful
    • The White House staff (excluding Trump) were very concerned about Flynn's contacts with Russia with Pence and staff quickly identifying that Flynn lied about the nature of his call with the Russian Ambassador in which he said was about building relationships and exchanging condolences, when in reality Flynn brought up sanctions relief for Russia, unprompted.
    • Trump is an egomaniac, unfit for the job, and his own staff couldn't trust him. He kept asking if the FBI was happy with his decision to fire Comey because "80% of the FBI voted for him." The entirety of his interviews for the new FBI director consisted of "Would you like the job?" and "I bet this would be good for you, right?" meaning from a perspective of positive press. He asked no questions of substance whatsoever prompting the DAG then had to take over the interviews. Finally, Trump's own staff didn't trust him with certain information worrying that he would immediately tweet out sensitive information.
    All in all - Thanks Bill - very informative!

    Amazing how 2 different people can read the same information and arrive at 2 completely different conclusions.

    Perhaps “reverse TDS” explains it somewhat.

    Sounds like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi may take a run at charging McCabe with something, if they are releasing this stuff to a friendly outlet.

    @VAg8r1 Occupy Democrats? They are still around?
