With Andrew McCabe's scalp now prominently displayed for all to see, Donald Trump goes on Twitter rant directed at Robert Mueller.

This was from last night.

I think everybody here already knows that the initial FBI investigation was NOT launched due to the Steel dossier, but instead inspired by a drunken chat that George Papadopoulos had with an Australian diplomat.

Trump is just hoping that nobody remembers that.

Here are today's tweets.
Ah, Trump's "executive time" has inspired yet another tweet based on fake news from the Fox News entertainment division.

It should be noted yet again that Robert Mueller himself is in fact a Republican, as is his boss Rod Rosenstein.

Not that it should matter since investigators do not allow their political points of view to shape their investigations.

Now some of this could be dismissed as Trump simply blowing off steam on Twitter if it were not for this.

Courtesy of the The Daily Beast: 

President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, told The Daily Beast on Saturday morning that he hopes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will shut down special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia’s election interference.

“I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,” Dowd then wrote.

After that was reported by a number of news outlets along with the assumption that Dowd was speaking on behalf of the president, he tried to walk it back: 

Woodruff called into MSNBC to speak with Joy Reid about the report, but at one point shared this: 

“He just emailed me to say that he hopes I will share with you all that he was speaking in his personal capacity and was not speaking on behalf of the President… When he initially emailed me this morning, I asked him, ‘Are you giving me this quote on behalf of the President?’ He replied, ‘Yes, speaking as his counsel’… Now he’s emailing me to walk that back.”

It has been beyond clear for a few weeks now that Trump is trying to find some way to fire Robert Mueller,  and that has now become clearer than ever.

I think everybody is prepared for that eventuality and in the history books it will likely be noted as the day that the Trump presidency started to unravel completely.

    Trump is neither subtle nor intelligent. His dishonest tweets are now overtly laying the groundwork for Mueller's firing. And this effort began the moment he found out the questions Mueller plans to ask him at a future interview. Trump's guilt could not be more painfully obvious.

    https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/975353374802661377

    This from a man who has fired, engineered the firing of, or conspired to fire every key Republican involved in the Russia probe: Comey, Sessions, Rosenstein, McCabe, and others.

    And Mueller has 40+ people on his team, so I have no idea what the hell Trump is talking about here.

    https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/975356467493720064

    Keep in mind that the second Trump fires or attempts to fire Mueller it becomes the gravest and most direct attack on the rule of law in America of the last 50+ years.

    Develop a plan *now* for how you will *peacefully and lawfully* work to protect your country should this occur.

    https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/975227223195217922

    Listen: Trump's *actual* "red line" for Mueller is a subpoena.

    Trump will refuse to speak to Mueller and force him to issue a subpoena.

    A subpoena is a perjury trap for Trump, so at that point Trump will have to fire Mueller.

    In other words, things are coming to a head soon.

    2/ It's no coincidence the first time Trump ever mentioned Bob Mueller in a tweet was hours after he'd received a list of questions Mueller wants to ask him. Trump is not going to submit himself to questioning by law enforcement, any more than any knowingly guilty person would.

    https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/975197882377756673

    The right way to read a Donald Trump tweet:

    (1) Understand that Trump did *absolutely everything* he is accused of doing—and *worse*.

    (2) Read the tweet again and ask yourself what kind of sociopath would act this way knowing that he's 100% guilty of everything he's accused of.

    Readers of this feed knew this was coming. I've been talking about Ivanka's inexplicable absence from the Russia probe for a few months now. Ivanka is Trump's favorite child and has been in on the ground floor ever since she sat in Putin's chair years ago.

      I wonder why in the first place, Mueller would cave to the demands of the lawyer(s) and submit his questions to the a$$hat in writing, and before he has him in front of him and his Grand Jury!

  5. The FBI has always been more conservative than the US as a whole. The Democrats have been the party that challenged them and the Republicans have always staunchly supported them. So if it is now full of Democrats it can only because they've seen Trump and his Republican allies up close. But then I suspect this is another Trump 'fact' based solely on his paranoia.

    Robert Mueller now has Donald Trump right where he wants him

    It is now clear what sent Donald Trump off the deep end resulting in more “Witch Hunt” tweets this weekend. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is playing with Trump and has him right where he wants him. The New York Times reported on Saturday that The Special Counsel’s office delivered to the White House a list of questions that will be used as a starting point if and when Trump sits down across the table from Mueller for an interview. Simply seeing a few questions must have been enough to enrage Trump, driving him to lash out the only way he knows how – on Twitter.

    Now we know why Facebook chose right now to bust Cambridge Analytica

    ...Despite having publicly denied it in testimony to the UK Parliament and elsewhere, Cambridge Analytica had business dealings with the Russians prior to the 2016 election, according to a New York Times report published today (link). This cannot have been a coincidence. Facebook had to have known this story was going to drop today, and thus it spent Friday night trying to get out ahead of it. There are major questions about whether Facebook should have banned the company a long time ago, but the upshot is this: Facebook appears to believe this is just the tip of the iceberg.

    The newly reported meetings and conversations involved Cambridge Analytica and a Russian oil company in 2014 and 2015. That’s before the firm took over voter data operations for the Trump campaign, and it doesn’t demonstrate that Cambridge Analytica was actually colluding with the Russian government with regard to the 2016 election cycle. But because the head of Cambridge Analytica has made a point of lying about these Russia meetings, it’s now fair to expect that he may have been trying to hide a lot more than a meeting with an oil company.

    Facebook must have come to the same conclusion last night, and decided to quickly and publicly bust Cambridge Analytica for the user data abuse before anything uglier got reported about the firm.

      Whistleblower: Facebook Suspended Me for Exposing Cambridge Analytica

      A former employee of Cambridge Analytica who recently went public with allegations the Trump-linked data firm illegally harvested Facebook data for electoral purposes says he’s been suspended by the social media giant “for blowing the whistle.” Christopher Wylie posted a screenshot to Twitter on Sunday showing an “account disabled” message, purportedly from Facebook. He said he’d been suspended for going public “on something they have known privately for 2 years.” Wylie was cited by The New York Times a day earlier alleging Cambridge Analytica stole the Facebook data of at least 50 million users as part of a psychological profiling campaign for U.S. elections. The data firm, largely owned by the Mercer family, is under scrutiny as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, as it worked with President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Facebook, which suspended Cambridge Analytica for policy violations just as Wylie’s claims came out, is also under fire for apparently not acting quickly enough after learning of the allegations.

      Cambridge Analytica working to stop undercover report on its practices from airing: report

      Cambridge Analytica is trying to prevent an undercover report by London’s Channel 4 News that shows the firm’s CEO Alexander Nix speaking candidly about the firm’s practices from airing, according to the Financial Times.

      Reporters for Channel 4 posed as prospective clients and secretly filmed a number of meetings with the firm.

      Financial Times' report did not make clear how the data firm was working to stop the report from airing.

      Cambridge Analytica, which was used by President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, was suspended by Facebook of Friday for breaching its privacy policy.

      The firm had obtained the private information of more than 50 million people from Aleksandr Kogan, a University of Cambridge professor. Kogan got the information through his app which uses a Facebook login.

      About 30 million of the profiles Kogan shared had enough information for the firm to create psychographic profiles, according to The New York Times. Only 270,000 users gave permission for their data to be collected.

      Facebook had discovered that Cambridge Analytica had violated its policies in 2015 and demanded that it certify that it had destroyed the data. The firm provided the certification but recent reports show that the form had not deleted all the data.

      Cambridge Analytica and Facebook tried to sue The Guardian to keep them from publishing an expose focusing on the whistleblower who released the data breach, according to CBS News.

      The whistleblower has also said that Facebook suspended him after he revealed the information he claims Facebook was aware of for two years.

      Facebook and its executives are getting destroyed after botching the handling of a massive data 'breach'

      Facebook and its executives faced a torrent of backlash on Saturday following news reports that the data firm Cambridge Analytica, which worked on the Trump campaign in 2016, improperly harvested private information from 50 million Facebook users.

      The company quickly faced calls for increased regulation and oversight, and Massachusetts' Attorney General, Maura Healey, even announced an investigation.

      "Massachusetts residents deserve answers immediately from Facebook and Cambridge Analytica," Healey said on Twitter.

      Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota also excoriated the company, demanding that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg face the Senate Judiciary Committee for questioning.

      "This is a major breach that must be investigated. It's clear these platforms can't police themselves," she said on Twitter. "I've called for more transparency & accountability for online political ads. They say 'trust us.' Mark Zuckerberg needs to testify before Senate Judiciary."

      But much of the online outrage came after multiple Facebook executives took to Twitter to respond to the news reports, insisting the incident was not a "data breach."

      "This was unequivocally not a data breach," longtime Facebook executive Andrew Bosworth tweeted. "People chose to share their data with third party apps and if those third party apps did not follow the data agreements with us/users it is a violation. no systems were infiltrated, no passwords or information were stolen and hacked."

      In a series of tweets that have since been deleted, Facebook's chief security officer, Alex Stamos, insisted that although user's personal information may have been misused, it wasn't retroactively a "breach."

    Despite taking his pension, Donald Trump can’t stop Andrew McCabe from cashing in

    ...Seeing how pissed McCabe is, and how loudly he’s already begun speaking out against Trump overnight, he’s now likely to jump on anything that’ll allow him to help take Trump down. Those opportunities will also tend to be much more profitable than whatever he was making as a government employee at the FBI, or whatever his pension might have paid him each month. In fact he may not even lose his pension.

    Novel ideas are already being floated around about how to make sure Andrew McCabe gets his pension after all. One of them involves a member of Congress hiring McCabe for a few days in order to get him over the pension line. There’s also buzz about starting a GoFundMe page to crowdfund the equivalent of McCabe’s pension. McCabe can also sue for wrongful termination. Trump took a big sloppy pointless risk just to punish McCabe in the wallet, and it may just make McCabe a wealthy man instead.

    If this was all a trap set by Robert Mueller, then Donald Trump just stepped in it

    ...Knowing Donald Trump’s thirst for revenge, could Mueller have set a trap off that tweet, knowing that Trump is as transparent as a cheap novel and unable to restrain his thoughts and intentions? If I were Mueller, I would have prepared for it. Mueller did have George Papadopoulos wired up after he flipped him. Trump has not been kind to Sessions of late, and there is no law saying that a sitting Attorney General can’t be wired to help with an investigation, especially someone like Sessions who has been under scrutiny since lying under oath to Congress about meeting with the Russians.


    There is a strong possibility that Robert Mueller was ready for this Trump move on McCabe, and Sessions could have been wired for his conversations with Trump since January. If Mueller was ready, then the obstruction case is complete, from the Comey firing to the McCabe firing.

      We may now know why Trump and his lawyer made their most brazen calls yet for the Mueller investigation to be shut down

      Shortly before President Donald Trump and one of his personal defense attorneys made their most brazen calls yet for the Russia investigation to be shut down, they apparently received a list of questions from the special counsel Robert Mueller.

      The development comes as Trump's legal team has been working for months to sidestep or significantly narrow the scope of an interview between Mueller and their client, who has shown a tendency to exaggerate the facts and make misleading statements.

      According to The New York Times, Trump's tweets this weekend came after Mueller sent the questions as part of his negotiations with Trump's legal team over an interview with the president. Mueller is still seeking an interview, sources told The Times, but sent the list as a starting point that he can later use to ask follow-up questions.

      Soon after, Trump embarked on one of his most heated, weekend-long tirades against Mueller, former FBI director James Comey, and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe late Friday night, hours before he was set to retire with full pension benefits.

    Andrew McCabe will get the last laugh over Donald Trump

    ...This deliberate purging of the very people Comey shared his conversations with will not go unnoticed by those in the Department of Justice or even Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Just as Comey has been able to move on and continue his patriotic demand for justice, while also writing a book that will likely make him a good deal of money, I’m sure the others that were wrongly deposed from the their positions in the FBI will also be successful.

    Using Donald Trump’s own tweets against him, Andrew McCabe will likely be able to sue to receive his full pension. In the end, all those that were pushed out by childish revenge will get the last laugh as they watch those still in the FBI and the Special Counsel making sure that Trump will die penniless in prison.

    Three of Mueller’s witnesses say Jeff Sessions lied to Congress

    ...“Three people who attended the March campaign meeting told Reuters they gave their version of events to FBI agents or congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 election,” Reuters reports.

    “Although the accounts they provided to Reuters differed in certain respects, all threes, who declined to be identified, said Sessions had expressed no objections to Papadopoulos’ idea.”

    That leaves only Sessions himself and one other former Trump campaign adviser, J.D. Gordon, to back up the claim. Notably, both men failed to disclose meetings with the Russians until they were pressured to do so.

    In fact, Sessions has already lied to Congress on at least three other occasions. And even former Trump campaign crony Carter Page shot down his dishonesty in the past.

    Now, it appears that he could be in Mueller’s sights for at least one of those four lies.

    Donald Trump’s corrupt firing of Andrew McCabe

    ...McCabe’s firing shows how Trump has corroded the operations of the American government. There are real questions about McCabe’s performance at the FBI. But there are even deeper questions about Trump’s public vendetta against McCabe, and the role Sessions played in his termination.

    McCabe is not innocent of wrongdoing. He made a questionable call (at best) about allowing a leak to the press during the 2016 campaign and then he appears to have lied about it, though he says it was an honest mistake. You can imagine a normal administration, and a normal process, weighing McCabe’s actions carefully and seriously.

    But none of this is why Trump wanted McCabe gone, and “carefully and seriously” is not how the process was conducted. Trump wanted McCabe gone because of McCabe’s involvement in the Justice Department investigation of Russian meddling in the campaign. Trump thinks McCabe is a Comey-aligned Democrat who was biased against him. Trump believes his political appointees should protect him. Trump has been explicit in public about all of this. And he has spent months publicly slandering McCabe and pressuring Sessions to fire him.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said he believes the Senate Judiciary Committee should hold a hearing on the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

    “I think we owe it to the average American to have a hearing in the Judiciary Committee where Attorney General [Jeff] Sessions comes forward with whatever documentation he has about the firing, and give Mr. McCabe the chance to defend himself,” Graham, a member of the panel, said on CNN’s “State of the Union."

    “I believe when it comes to this issue we need as much transparency as possible to make sure it wasn’t politically motivated,” he added.

    Someone should tell trump's bargain basement attorney the purpose of the Mueller Investigation is whether the russians tried to meddle in our election, not collusion.

    The morons have been lying for so long they don't even know up from down any longer. Also any real president would be concerned if a foreign enemy influenced our election, but we are stuck with the fake putin puppet and he only cares about himself, country be damned.

    "the fact that there are now two plausible allegations of perjury looming over Sessions could cut against him in court. It is one thing to misspeak once. It’s another thing altogether to have a pattern of false statements."

    FB Excerpts"You have a president complaining like a petulant child about fairness. Fairness. It's not fair! It's not fair!
    Did you ever hear any president talk like this? Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, all the way back to Washington. FAIR? The hell is fair about politics and power and leadership?
    This is the problem, the very crux of it, right here. The paranoia. The martyr complex. The entitlement. The arrogance. The idea that the people, the country, the world, aren't treating him the way he thinks he should be. What's under that is a man who thinks he's OWED respect and admiration and worship as his birthright, and he simply can't understand why everyone else can't see how wonderful he is. This is evident in every facet of Trump's personality, from his gold-plated penthouse to his trophy wives to appointing his family and flunkies to important positions to his childish public belittling of anyone he thinks might have crossed him." "THE PARTY"
    " unchecked, what happens next is those who are not of THE PARTY must be removed from power. They must be purged from government, from military leadership, from law enforcement, and especially from public education."

    Lindsey Graham Continues To Pretend Republicans Would Impeach Trump For Firing Mueller

    They've failed to put a check on Trump so far, so the notion that firing Mueller would finally be a bridge too far is laughable. Tapper, of course, couldn't be bothered to fact check Graham and the list of lies he told about the Steele dossier and moved on to the next topic.

    Good Riddance to CIA Director Pompeo
    Nobody's throwing goodbye parties at Langley for the outgoing boss.

    A lot of people believe Trump
    is gearing up to fire Mueller. I think
    They could be right.

    Firing him would be classic Trump behavior. He’s been told not to do it, that he can’t legally do it, it would be the end of his presidency, etc.

    That’s precisely why I think Trump will do it. He’s like a bratty toddler: tell him he can’t do something, and he’ll immediatey do it.

    And remember, Trump likes to watch conflict. Firing Mueller would give our sociopath-in-cheif something fun to watch.
