A short clip of entire 60 Minutes segment aired Wednesday on CBS Morning, but the more interesting part came in the panel discussion afterward, in which Pelley described what he found to be the “most illuminating and surprising thing” they discussed: the eight days that followed President Donald Trump’s firing of then FBI Director James Comey.
Pelley shared how McCabe explained what was happening behind the scenes at the highest levels of the FBI and Department of Justice in which serious discussions of invoking the 25th amendment to remove a sitting president.
So let's be clear here folks. Donald Trump had been president for barely three months when he fired James Comey. Moreover, James Comey deserved to be fired. He failed to follow policy, he likely broke the law, was blatantly insubordinate, and quite frankly most of the American public had lost confidence in him.
 |
What McCabe is offering (admitting might be a better term) is that the FBI and holdover members at the DOJ were scheming for possible ways to undo the 2016 election results, because they did not like the choice that the American public made, and they were now holding a grudge because Trump fired their buddy James.
This sort of behavior should be appalling for anyone who has even the slightest respect for our system of Government and the manner in which we elect our leaders. Our peaceful transfer of powers went uninterrupted for 240 years. Then we had for all practical purposes an attempt at the sort of coup you might expect in a third world banana republic.
This also proves exactly how far members of the DOJ and FBI were willing to go to sabotage the 2016 election results. If they were willing to draw up the concept of an overthrow of the President on dubious personal grounds, then starting an unwarranted and damaging investigation for political reasons seems like an easy call.
The sweet reality of the situation is that Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, and all of the other big players in this deep state mutiny have been disciplined, fired, and charges are still being considered against some of them.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump IS STILL PRESIDENT and is still keeping his campaign promises. Moreover the DOJ and FBI seem no worse off for having lost these low lifes. They thought that they were the "the law" - but the "the law" fought the President, and in this case the President won!

now we know why rosenstein refused to testify to congress after his participation in the 25th amendment conversations was made public.
all these scumbags from comey and mccabe and rosenstein on down deserve to die in prison.
Remember the text about Obama wanting to be kept in the loop.
He deserves to be in the loop.
And a slew below him.

Hopefully McCabe was also asked:
1) why did you lie multiple times under oath?
2) since we know from the Mueller probe that lying is such a serious crime, shouldnt you go to prison too?
3) how could any sane person think Page or Papadopoulos is a Russian agent?
4) are you nuts?
@bhweingarten
Leave aside the credibility issues and how the entire “Russia swung the election”/Russian collusion narrative has utterly collapsed. How is it possible that the Deputy Director of the FBI thought it was Russia, and not China, that was our most formidable adversary?

Imagine what kind of blowback there would be if the FBI had meetings to discuss secretly recording Obama because they didn't like his coddling of the terror regime in Iran?
it's rumored that in the extended on-line version of the mccabe '60 minutes' interview, there's footage of pelley actually fellating mccabe.

Strict ID Laws Don't Stop Voters: Evidence from a U.S. Nationwide Panel, 2008-2016
Enrico Cantoni, Vincent Pons
NBER Working Paper No. 25522
Issued in February 2019
NBER Program(s):Political Economy
U.S. states increasingly require identification to vote – an ostensive attempt to deter fraud that prompts complaints of selective disenfranchisement. Using a difference-in-differences design on a 1.3-billion-observations panel, we find the laws have no negative effect on registration or turnout, overall or for any group defined by race, gender, age, or party affiliation. These results hold through a large number of specifications and cannot be attributed to mobilization against the laws, measured by campaign contributions and self-reported political engagement. ID requirements have no effect on fraud either – actual or perceived. Overall, our results suggest that efforts to reform voter ID laws may not have much impact on elections.
Strict ID Laws Don't Stop Voters: Evidence from a U.S. Nationwide Panel, 2008-2016
the hypocrisy and irony of the voter fraud issue is stunning. liberals would have us believe the myth that trump conspired with putin - fueled by $100K in facebook ads - to steal the election, but when you confront them with demonstrable, documented, and factual evidence of voter fraud in precincts from philly to LA, they flatly deny its existence.
FBI Obama Leadership is as corrupt as Pres.Trump told us they were.

Chicago (AFP) - The United States' largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, is facing a sexual abuse crisis after a bombshell report revealed hundreds of predators and more than 700 victims since 1998.
The report by two Texas newspapers found some 380 church leaders and volunteers have faced public accusations of abuse, mostly of children as young as three years old.
Some of the accused continued to work at Southern Baptist churches, the newspapers said.
In response to the report, church officials acknowledged the number of victims could actually be higher and urged survivors to come forward.
"One of the things I'm encouraged by are the number of pastors that are actively engaged right now," in the report's aftermath, convention leader Russell Moore told AFP on Tuesday.
The revelations threatened to engulf the denomination -- with some 47,000 churches and 15 million members mostly in the southern US -- in the same type of scandal that has roiled the Catholic Church.
A more comprehensive response was likely to come from the Southern Baptist organization next week when president JD Greear "is scheduled to give an update on a sexual abuse study he commissioned last summer," said spokesman Roger Oldham.

Like you and trump, rectum breath?????
denny,
we've known for ages that the reverend james boswell is a child molester.
so i'm curious - what exactly is your point?
Hey Denny...
If he was fellating Trump, he would have penis breath, not rectum breath. Now if he was rimming Trump, then your rectum breath insult would work.
At the very least you gotta get your disgusting insults correct here dude!
denny is a person so fucking stupid you even have to correct his insults.
HA!
After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens. For Amazon, the commitment to build a new headquarters requires positive, collaborative relationships with state and local elected officials who will be supportive over the long-term. While polls show that 70% of New Yorkers support our plans and investment, a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project we and many others envisioned in Long Island City.

Hey Denny...

I'm sure his wife wouldn't know the difference.....but thanx for the help.....asshole Amazon quit NY because the locals were in revolt .....IOW's they fixed their cuomo problem.....LOLOL
In episode 171 of “Seinfeld,” George Costanza makes up a story about having a house in the Hamptons in order to avoid attending an event with his dead fiancée’s parents, the Rosses. He soon learns they know of his deception but the Rosses nevertheless accept an invitation to the fictitious house.
George picks them up and begins driving towards a house that doesn’t exist. Both the Rosses and George maintain the pretense until George drives to the end of island past the last house in the Hamptons. George silently pleads for the Rosses to put an end to the charade. The lie’s momentum took on a life of its own as the players all continued acting their parts long after the truth was known.
The episode comes to mind as the media has started backing away from the Russia collusion hoax. Like Costanza, many of the media perpetrators seem to know a reckoning is coming. Politico warned Trump haters, “Prepare for disappointment.” Other examples of expectation managing can be found, such as here, here, here, and here. Mueller’s longtime top deputy at the FBI recently warned, “A public narrative has built an expectation that the special counsel will explain his conclusions, but I think that expectation may be seriously misplaced.”
Most recently, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced that after almost two years of investigation, it has uncovered no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Attorneys assigned to the Mueller team have quietly begun to slip away before the outcome of the investigation is made public (here, here, and here).
This is unsurprising. The Russia hoax is crumbling and people can’t run away fast enough. We’ve seen signs from the very beginning that many of the people who promoted the Trump-Russia collusion smear have always known it was a hoax. These signs have been in plain sight. Here is an incomplete list.

Rosenstein was very engaged. He was not yet convinced. I brought the matter up with him again after the weekend. On Wednesday, we would be briefing the Hill. As I saw it, by informing Congress of the bureau’s actions, we would be drawing an indelible line around the cases we had opened—the four cases known publicly and any others that may have gone forward. The four known publicly were those of Carter Page, a foreign-policy adviser to the Trump campaign and a man with many Russian ties; George Papadopoulos, another foreign-policy adviser, who had told a foreign diplomat that the Russians had offered to help Trump’s campaign by providing information on Hillary Clinton; Michael Flynn, for a brief period the president’s national security adviser, who had pursued multiple high-level contacts with the Russian government; and Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, who had shady business dealings with Ukrainians and Russians.

so this dumb fuck writes a story giving his version to the atlantic and he STILL incriminates himself and his deep state cohorts.
we need to bring back the gallows and public hangings. traitors like him should be swinging at the end of a fucking rope.
Didn't Roger tell us that there never was a deep state?
Not sure how he can be so consistently wrong.

Fire him (Mueller) tomorrow. Hire a 2nd Special Counsel. Subpoena every person in on this, including Mueller and his team. Send FBI in for pre-dawn raids, ransack houses and offices. Bankrupt them with legal fees. Leak private info. Ya know, all the tactics we’ve watched for 2+ years.

Roger can't spin the fact that there was a conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected (as specified by law) president of the United States.
There is no emergency at the border. This is a manufactured crisis, dreamt up by the far right and presented to Donald Trump on cable news shows.
You are stupid enough to believe the Deep State of, then you still believe that Obama was born in Kenya and that over 3 million illegal votes were counted as the popular vote margin.
Get help.
See, Roger can't spin it. If after someone not only confess but actually bragged about conspiring to overthrowing the duly elected government of the United States you don't believe there is a deep state, then you really are stupid and delusional.
You are the one who needs help Roger.
conspiring to overthrowing the duly elected government of the United States
Delusional
If President O'Rourke declares a national emergency to climate change, S.Scott will post a 500 word diatribe demanding impeachment for exceeding his Presidential authority.
Things were much better when we had an adult for a president.
Repubs must not allow Pres Obama to subvert the Constitution of the US for his own benefit & because he is unable to negotiate w/ Congress.

So Trump wanted 5 billion for a border wall Pelosi would only give one dollar, Trump winds up with 8 billion.
