Trump is a moron, he does things on a whim. Wouldn't surprise me.

I don't mind the GOP making the point of confirming the Russian investigation hasn't been effected, because it will make it much easier to hold people accountable if the new Trump appointed Director takes a single agent off that investigation.

I like how CNN is rolling now, if its not about Trump/Russia/Comey they break to a commercial.
That whataboutism pivot
They report news, so I guess they figured that didn't extend to canned, regurgitated GOP utterings
Exactly as planned by the Democrats on the committee. All their questions have been coordinated with each other's to make McCabe debunk the bullshit claims by the WH, one after the other.

on the next Presidential Apprentice : "McCabe, Your Fired!!!"
Been hearing this on other news networks last night. As I've said, WH lying as usual just to try and change the perception with the public.
This is kind of a liberals versus the left thing, or put another way nationalists versus internationalists. The government and the media are all nationalistic, which is part of the built in problem and paradox with the Democratic party.
To be fair to GAF, post a story about the CIA interfering somewhere and you will see many angry replies.
I don't know where you're from or your intentions, though. If your perspective is just the opposite of an American nationalist, take a walk.

He doesn't need to. I think he will rush to instate a new FBI Director.
Jesus Christ, if this doesn't completely and utterly tank Trump and get Republicans to finally flip then I don't even know what to say. Firing the guy investigating you is one thing, but the clusterfuck of a story around it and the fact that the FBI is going directly against them should be a nail in the coffin.

He will appoint a stooge as FBI director and you will never hear from McCabe again(or he will quit).

His director position is temporary anyway. If Trump fires him, it will just ratchet the heat up 10 fold. Only a Trump level moron would consider it.

Rosenstein seeks meeting with Senate Intelligence leaders
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has requested to meet with the Senate Intelligence Committee, including committee chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and vice-chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.), sources told POLITICO.
Rosenstein was seen walking into the Senate Intelligence Committee space as the panel was holding a hearing on worldwide threats.
The request came after President Donald Trump unceremoniously fired FBI Director James Comey, citing a three-page letter from Rosenstein questioning the directors fitness to serve. It also came amid reports that Rosenstein, a well-regarded federal prosecutor, was furious over the White Houses characterization of his apparent recommendation and even threatened to quit.

Why would he fire him? He can just appoint an interim director.
He needs to be fired to continue along the Nixon timeline.

It's no wonder the Russians were able to target bumpkins and ignorant racists. They're pretty much the only ones using Kaspersky.
whats your point? USA sanctioned Russia and moved on.
Thats not really what this is about, this is about the current elected president potentially colluding with another nation to win the election.
This would be like Columbia investigating their own president if the CIA helped to get him elected.
I assume the people in those countries are also totally mad about it, so it seems pretty much the same to me.
Maybe Rosenstein hasn't turned heel after all.
Look, I know you're really busy trying to stop an emerging dictatorship but this Iran thing is really keeping me up at night.

He got his name tarnished he is probably pissed the fuck off.
Come on Rosenstein. Appoint a special prosecutor and dare Trump to do anything about it.
He's gotta be pissed. His letter didn't recommend a firing and was probably only written under the condition that he could actually write what he believed, which was that Comey was wrong in what he did but that's about it. Trump throwing him under the bus has to be a last straw.
Oh shit. Time for a special prosecutor?

I'm going to presume Rosenstein is compromised until I see receipts of anything else.
