<p>Second in command at the FBI Andrew McCabe is fired 2 days before his retirement, because of what Sessions called a “lack of candor” about his involvement in the Hillary email investigation. Trump had been agitating for it for months. This is shitty and mean spirited and vintage trump. <br /> Lack of candor to people who have none is pretty rich. <br /> Firing McCabe for conduct related to Hillary, just like Comey’s firing, is pretty rich. <br /> Gloating about the real reason (trying to shut down the Russia Investigation) in public (on Twitter for McCabe, with Lester Holt for Comey) is naked arrogance. <br /> Trump does this because he’s a shitty person who thinks he can get away with it. <br /> Let’s show him that karma is a bitch.
Then and Now
Then:
Now:
One man swore to tell the truth underoath the other repeatedly lies. But who knows what really happened behind those closed doors. I think we all do.
Of course he doesn't. And you know what, if he had I bet they'd have disappeared like Sessions recollection of anything.
The Boy Scout Motto: Always Comey Prepared
One swore to tell the truth under oath. The other had his lawyer speak for him.
We welcome Trump to tell the truth under oath. Both would be a first.
A question of lying
Who am I to be more skeptical of? The man who voluntarily testified under oath to a senate committee - OR - the man who released a statement through his lawyer to the public?
I ask you, who’s actions and words are consistent? Who would you trust?
I dare Trump to do the same and tell his version of events under oath to the senate and the people not hiding behind a lawyer.
As I listened to James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, tell the Senate Intelligence Committee about his personal meetings and phone calls with President Trump, I was reminded of something: the experience of a woman being harassed by her powerful, predatory boss. There was precisely that sinister air of coercion, of an employee helpless to avoid unsavory contact with an employer who is trying to grab what he wants.
Mieke Eoyang said it best on MSNBC tonight: All women know how it feels to be asked by a man to do something inappropriate. James Comey knows that feeling.
• James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, testified that President Trump and others in his administration had lied when they said agents had lost confidence in Mr. Comey.
• “Lordy, I hope there are tapes,” Mr. Comey said, referring to Mr. Trump’s suggestion that he may have recorded their conversations.
• Mr. Trump stayed quiet, at least during the first 90 minutes, but his son, Donald Trump, Jr., took to Twitter to defend his father.
• “Today is your opportunity to set the record straight,” the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, Richard Burr of North Carolina, said to Mr. Comey.

Trump and the FBI:
Trump threateningly implied this morning there may be tapes of he and Comey’s conversations and now Spicer is refusing to confirm or deny that Trump is recording his conversations. Like, damn. We’re really setting up another Watergate here aren’t we
Please please please produce tapes, Trump. There's nothing we'd love more than to see you humiliated by your own scam. #Trumprussia
