#BREAKING: JEFF SESSIONS FIRES FMR. DEPUTY FBI DIRECTOR MCCABE...LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE HIS RETIREMENT.

He'll likely lose his pension. His retirement was set for Sunday, McCabe's 50th Birthday.

McCabe was the target of the RW Media and Trump himself.

AFTER 22 YEARS OF SERVICE.

#FLAG: MCCABE SPEAKS OUT!

McCabe declares that his firing, and Trump’s persistent needling, were intended to undermine the special counsel’s investigation.

“The idea that I was dishonest is just wrong," he said, adding, "THIS IS PART OF AN EFFORT TO DISCREDIT ME AS A WITNESS."
#NEW: MCCABE RELEASES LENGTHY WRITTEN STATEMENT.

"I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey.”
#REDFLAG. TRUMP TWEETS ABOUT MCCABE'S FIRING.

THIS IS DESPICABLE.

#FLAG: DUE PROCESS IN GOV...

#UPDATE: ANDY MCCABE'S LAWYER...

#BREAKING: MCCABE WROTE MEMOS ABOUT HIS INTERACTIONS W/ TRUMP — AND MUELLER HAS THEM.

He had 3 in-person interactions and 1 phone call, in which Trump berated him each time about his wife.

Memos also corroborate Comey relaying his interactions w/ Trump.

#NEW: NO SURPRISE, MCCABE HAS BEEN INTERVIEWED BY MUELLER.

In addition to obtaining McCabe's memos, Mueller's team has interviewed the former FBI Deputy Director and asked about Comey's firing.

The source would not say WHEN the interview...occurred.

With all due respect to the hosts on @MSNBC...but move over.

@BarbMcQuade, @JoyceWhiteVance and @JillWineBanks need their own show together, right now!

Love them so much! Could listen to the three of them forever.
There could even be a quick #JillsPin segment each day, like @AllInWithChris's #Thing1Thing2. 😜
With the addition of @MimiRocah1, why has this show not yet been #Greenlit?

Maybe it needs a little @MayaWiley to seal the deal!

#FTR: Nixon WH Counsel, John Dean, is pretty much universally considered a hero in the Watergate scandal.

While he wasn't an angel, his cooperation ultimately led to Nixon's impeachment and resignation.

Hmm, I wonder why Trump would call him a "RAT" and view him negatively...?
#FLAG: Trump invokes McCarthyism, while hurling unfounded accusations at Democrats and the Special Counsel.

He claims he demands transparency, while his White House lies at every turn.

When he says "many lives have been ruined," he's setting up pardons.
#FLAG: Trump and the Right Wing often say "No Collusion...except by Crooked Hillary and the Democrats."

It's a repeated counter-narrative about the FusionGPS commissioned #SteeleDossier, claiming it's collusion.

It's been debunked. But truth isn't truth.

We all saw this coming when Trump bragged about his multi-hundred billion dollar arms deal with the Saudis, shortly after taking office.

I hate to say it, but the U.S. has sadly been complicit in what has been described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
In May, Trump signs a "tremendous" $110B arms deal with Saudi Arabia. #YEMEN

#BREAKING: THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL, DON MCGAHN, HAS COOPERATED EXTENSIVELY W/ MUELLER'S OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE INVESTIGATION.

He has detailed the most damning episodes in at least 3 voluntary interviews that have totaled 30 hours over the past 9 months.
nytimes.com/2018/08/18/us/…
#FLAG: McGahn has disclosed details surrounding...

- The firing of former FBI Director James Comey.
- Trump's obsession with putting a loyalist in charge.
- Trump's repeated urging of Sessions to claim oversight of the investigation.
- Trump's attempts to fire Mueller himself.
#FLAG: MCGAHN AND HIS LAWYER COOPERATED...BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT TRUMP WAS GOING TO SET HIM UP AS "THE FALL GUY."

They were suspicious when Trump didn't protest letting him be interviewed...

So McGahn cooperated extensively to cover to demonstrate that McGahn did nothing wrong.

#FLAG: I don't want to read too far into it, but for the jury in the Manafort trial to be asking for the definition of "reasonable doubt," after one day of deliberation, is concerning, at least for me...
#TBH: I hate to say this, but I've been skeptical of this jury from the beginning.

How are there 12 individuals in the Alexandria, Virginia area (just outside of D.C.) who had never heard of Paul Manafort?

Either they are particularly ignorant individuals, or someone's lying...
#FTR: If Justice is not served at the conclusion of this trial...

No one is more to blame than Judge Ellis.

Meanwhile, JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES with our allies in South Korea were "too expensive."

They act as a deterrent to North Korea, China and Russia, and are essential to ensure preparedness with our allies should Kim Jong Un launch an attack.

They would cost $14M...
#REMINDER: The Trump Administration's position on the suspension of joint military exercises with South Korea was CONDITIONAL.

The annual August exercises were suspended...AS LONG AS North Korea acted in "GOOD FAITH" in working towards denuclearization.
washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-ca…
#FLAG: U.S. Officials, from the Military Intelligence Agency in the Pentagon to the Secretary of State, have ACKNOWLEDGED...

North Korea is ACCELERATING their nuclear program, continuing missiles production, and hiding assets from the U.S..

Good faith?
