Even after he got him fired Donald Trump cannot stop attacking former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.


By the way according to McCabe Trump was obsessed with his wife: 

McCabe also opened up about how the President appeared fixated on his wife's failed campaign, recalling at least four occasions in which Trump taunted him with it as a "mistake" or "problem" and calling her a "loser." 

Trump raised the issue with Comey "out of the blue," according to McCabe, saying things "like, 'What's wrong with that deputy director of yours?' " insinuating that he was somehow politically motivated against the President, which, McCabe says is "absolutely not true." 

"In May, when Director Comey was fired and I had my own interactions with the President, he brought up my wife every time I ever spoke to him," McCabe told CNN, emphasizing that he pushed back. "Of course, I disagreed with him. I don't see my wife's decision to try to enter public life to help her community (have) greater access to healthcare as a mistake or a problem."

Trump also asked McCabe who he voted for in 2016, apparently to gauge his loyalty.

These are the rantings of a VERY insecure and frightened man.

And perhaps he should be because McCabe has something else in common with his former boss James Comey. Copious note taking.

Courtesy of the AP:  

Andrew McCabe — the former FBI deputy director just fired by the attorney general — kept personal memos regarding President Donald Trump. 

That’s according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to discuss the memos publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. 

This person says the memos are similar to the ones maintained by former FBI Director James Comey, who Trump fired last May. 

Comey’s series of notes detailed interactions with Trump that Comey said unnerved him. 

The person with knowledge of McCabe’s situation says McCabe’s memos include details of interactions with the president, among other topics. 

It’s not immediately clear whether any of the McCabe memos have been turned over to special counsel Robert Mueller or requested by Mueller.

Well Mueller certainly has them now.

It's a damn good thing that Donald Trump does not accompany his children when they go hunting. Because he would definitely shoot himself in the foot every single time.

    " a day before his 50th birthday and the date he was set to retire and begin receiving his anticipated pension, over accusations that McCabe directed FBI officials to speak to the media about an investigation tied to the Clinton Foundation and misled investigators about his actions."
    "McCabe revealed that he had three in-person interactions and one phone call with Trump, in which the President berated him each time about his wife's failed Virginia Senate campaign."
    "The former No. 2 official at the FBI told CNN that Trump did not bring up the agency's investigation into Russia meddling in the 2016 election."
    "Comey said his memos detailed conversations in which Trump asked Comey to pledge loyalty to him, state publicly that the FBI was not investigating Trump himself, and urged Comey to "let this go," referring to the then-investigation involving Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn." "The former FBI director's memos have also been handed over to the special counsel." cnn

    Trump is ranting from his playbook to discredit by public humiliation McCabe as he has done to others. I think McCabe has a good case that Trump had a vendetta against him. Now there are angry agents who are also being smeared by Trump.
    His stupid followers will believe Trump.

  7. OT:

    The Parkland students are fighting back straight out of the NRA playbook.

    https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/parkland-shooting-survivor-nra-style-ad_us_5aacce18e4b0337adf83f531

    "Florida school shooting survivor David Hogg uses propaganda tactics usually deployed by the National Rifle Association to call out lawmakers in a new ad.

    “What if our politicians weren’t the bitch of the NRA?” the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student asks in the commercial, which is reminiscent of those produced by the gun rights lobbying association."

    The backlash is having some effect. A candidate that bashed and insulted the Parkland students just had to drop out of the campaign.

    https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/leslie-gibson-gop-maine-parkland-survivor-twitter-attack_us_5aa8c26be4b001c8bf151517

    "A Republican candidate for the Maine legislature apologized after attacking two students who survived the Parkland high school massacre, calling one a “skinhead lesbian” and another a “bald-faced liar.”"

    "Maine state House candidate Leslie Gibson (R) dropped out of the race on Friday after facing strong backlash for maligning student activists who survived last month’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

    Gibson had been running unopposed, but his comments prompted Democrat Eryn Gilchrist ― who has never run for office before ― to jump into the race just before the filing deadline Thursday. She was joined by Republican contender Thomas Martin Jr., a former state senator."

    OT?:
    "t the White House is currently considering bringing him back to work.

    Now, when it comes to the gambling habit, well, that isn’t the kind of behavior you typically see in White House aides, since A) it makes the odds that the gambler is open to blackmail just the kind of odds said gambler would take in any bet (assuming he was betting on being blackmailed) and B) generally speaking, historically, White House aides have taken their positions and responsibilities more seriously than pretty much everyone working in Trump’s White House." “body man” John McEntee"

    Trump. Long drawn sigh. It's like a having a drunk uncle who won't behave. Why is he so vindictive, and petty? Who hurt him? Or is Trump's condition due to his sociopathic nature? Whatever the case, we have been on his crazy train for over a year. It's making me ill to the point that I don't even want to watch TV.
    We have a crazy person in the White House, and every day he causes some kind of chaos. This is not normal, and I would like for it to stop. We need normal back where we trust our president to tend our daily governmental affairs.
    But it seems we have to sleep with one eye open with this guy in the white house or we'll wake up in a dictatorship.

    "The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a Fake Dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC, and improperly used in FISA COURT for surveillance of my campaign. WITCH HUNT!"

    "Flake said earlier, referring to Trump’s response to McCabe’s firing: “I’m just puzzled by why the White House is going so hard at this, other than they’re very afraid of what might come out. I don’t know how you can have any other conclusion.”-"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reaffirmed to Tapper what he’s said before: If Trump fires Mueller, “that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency, because we’re a
    RULE OF LAW nation.”
