It was painful to witness. One of our own — a deputy FBI director no less — was fired barely a day or two away from retirement and a certain pension. And now Andrew McCabe faces possible federal charges for lying to other federal agents, charges that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller knows all too well and is wielding with great effect in the Russian collusion case.
Still, I wonder about Mueller. McCabe, Peter Strzok and James Comey all are public servants who former FBI Director Mueller mentored, supervised or knew well. It has got to be hugely disappointing for Mueller to stand by and watch the people who he managed, who worked for and were loyal to him, and who he was fond of become a part of this train wreck. As a former supervisor, Mueller is accountable for those people he supervised — for the good and the bad. How does he feel about it? We don’t know. He remains mute.

With McCabe fired, there has to be a major shock going through the FBI. People are deciding fast, which side they want to be on. My guess is more than a few will shift to President Trump. Then look for the floodgates to open. I wonder what “secret” memos and emails will suddenly appear. And point to direct collusion between McCabe, and his appointing the special prosecutor, Robert Mueller. The shit could get real.

DeleteYou got that.
McCabe did not appoint Mueller. Rosenstein did.
DeleteCorrect and thanks.
