In other words he wants to be Putin. Grave mistake if H.R McMaster is fired.He wants to look shady. He wants EVERY bureaucrat to know if they fuck with him, he will make it personal.

But they have shown that once trump does something, for the most part they are in lock step with him. They are spineless.Even the republicans are now out warning Trump against firing Mueller.
Trump is on the attack on twitter today, though.
If Trump is trying to take apart the CIA, FBI and State department establishment, then I really actually applaud him. Hopefully he will take on NSA as well. The US intelligence agencies have NOT served the American people or US govt for a very long time. Trump is showing a lot of balls taking them on as he will likely end up dead.McCabe has recorded all his personal interviews with Trump and it has been submitted to Mueller. McCabe has released a statement disclosing exactly why he was fired:
"This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally," McCabe said. "It is part of this Administration's ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel's work."

Even the former CIA chief tweeted the following about Trump:
When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/974859881827258369 …

Apparently some very good reasons to fire this guy, Trumps chief of staff wants him goneIn other words he wants to be Putin. Grave mistake if H.R McMaster is fired.
You have to be careful of what you wish for. Sure, the CIA and NSA have major, major issues and yes, US foreign policy is a disgrace.If Trump is trying to take apart the CIA, FBI and State department establishment, then I really actually applaud him.

He is not removing the controls, the congressional sub-committes and oversight are still in place, the problem is, those have simply not been working. The mandarins in these departments need to cleaned out and their support structure ripped apart.At some point he will also be forced to walk the plank, but hopefully he can do enough damage to the status quo before he is either killed or impeached.You have to be careful of what you wish for.

But letting someone who's acting like a petty tyrant also take down all the controls on their behaviour is like backing Erdogan's purge as 'draining the swamp' or Putin's election as 'the people's will' or backing Duterte for cleaning up the gangs.
The US under a true despot would be way, way worse.
The man worships Duterte, Erdogan, Putin and Xi. Give him the option and he'd institute the death penalty for those who comment about his small hands.He is not removing the controls, the congressional sub-committes and oversight are still in place, the problem is, those have simply not been working.

You don't give petty despots the power to destroy institutions. Democracy is really hard to build but stupidly easy to fuck up.
You want the US to turn into Turkey?
Read about what Erdogan has done to Turkey or Putin done to Russia.Your respond show you that your logic....
Your weird!
Democracy cannot be fuck up...USA democracy is built with check and balance plus no POTUS can hold more then two term and it in the constitution.
Naive.Your respond show you that your logic....
Your weird!

Lol....Everyone in Trump's circle has lied under oath except the ones who haven't been under oath. And those lie all the time as well. Lock em up!The witness has no credibility, anyway. According to the OPR he has lied under oath. Being fired and loosing his pension is the least of his worries. He'll be extremely fortunate if he can avoid prison.
the checks and balances have been cancelled by Trump's lies and corruption in conspiracy with the Repuglican controlled Congress who refuse to make him accountable.......until the midterms at least.Your respond show you that your logic....

I doubt that will happen. The US govt has become too massive, with departments that were supposed to "serve the president" and "be accountable to congress" developing agendas and policy on their own. Change is always difficult and chaotic. Its shameful Obama did not fill so many judicial vacancies, I guess he assumed Clinton would win, but that was lazy and short sighted. He should have fired several cabinet ministers within 2 years of inauguration. The FBI did also irresponsibly affect the last election, MORE then the Russians.The man worships Duterte, Erdogan, Putin and Xi. Give him the option and he'd institute the death penalty for those who comment about his small hands.

ok... let's look at the track record of Mueller AND your man Trump, shall we?The witness has no credibility, anyway. According to the OPR he has lied under oath. Being fired and loosing his pension is the least of his worries. He'll be extremely fortunate if he can avoid prison.
The GOP flunkies in Congress have completely abdicated their function as a co-equal branch of government and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the WH.Even the republicans are now out warning Trump against firing Mueller.

sorry... I guess I was thinking one move ahead. Of course Mueller is the big target which Trump needs to destroy in order to prevent the truths he wants to remain hidden from coming out. McCabe is merely another step in that direction for the Grifter-in-Chief.Nice effort. Too bad we're talking about McCabe.
The truth is that McCabe was fired for leaking, lying and playing politics. He will have to answer for it. Comey will also face prosecution for lying under oath and shielding a subject of an investigation for political reasons. There will be others, too.sorry... I guess I was thinking one move ahead.
