Interesting, watching Real Time with Bill Maher "live" when one of the guest informed Bill "live" and the panel of this firing.
There was an audible gasp from Bill and the audience.

I was waiting for something like that but must of missed it about when did this happen? Was this in OT?

"However, McCabe may have rectified his “singled out” status with his long statement criticizing his termination: In the middle of it is a line that could be viewed as incriminating fired FBI director James Comey, not just in leaking sensitive information but also in lying to Congress.

McCabe is accused of misleading investigators about allegedly giving information to a former Wall Street Journal reporter about the investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family’s charitable foundation. McCabe asserts in his post-firing statement that he not only had authority to “share” that information to the media but did so with the knowledge of “the director.” The FBI director at the time was Comey."


Good catch, Taj.


When all these FBI criminals are brought to justice I hope Comey gets the same cell as Martha Stewart. Except this time it will be for several years and for perjury to the FBI, not 6 months for insider trading.

The whole US government is full of fake republicans. We must root them out, and make them pay for their traitorous liberal schemes.

You may want to read the actual article.

They shared information on the investigation of the clinton foundation through the public affairs office and with the possible consent and knowledge of comey.

Comey was asked if he ever was an anonymous source or if he directed anyone to be an anonymous source and clearly the answer is no; they went through the public affairs office and therefore it was not anonymous (the source is the FBIs public affairs office).
Also we're not exactly sure what information was shared about the clinton foundation investigation. Was it info that was damaging? Or info that was exonerating? Doesn't that kind of matter? In addition, there is no indication that the information was classified and not privy to discussion with a journalist by people high as high in the FBI as Comey and McCabe either. After all Comey gave some information of his interactions with president trump to his columbia professor colleague and that seems to in no way be a crime or violation of any sort of protocol.

Again, to this point it seems very very unclear why McCabe was fired other than political retribution of some sort.

According to Comey he never authorized McCabe to leak information to the press, according to McCabe, Comey authorized him to leak information to the press. Which one is the liar and committed perjury? It's one or the other.
Third option. It's you Taj, you're the liar. And a heinous waste of skin.

It's in a woman's prison, it's where Hillary will be after the Special Counsel if she doesn't give up some of her coterie.

I read it and there's other articles on the same subject.

Such an idiot. So... What kind of headway are they making toward that eventuality? In the meantime the investigation in to your love muffin seems to be heating up.

Look who's talking, a big ole pudgster with acres of spare and wasted skin.
Sure. But inside and outside I'm worth loving. I'm a wicked hotty. It pleases me to no end that it pisses you off so thoroughly.

Quick note - the soulless and the heartless like yourself are never worth loving. You're a loathsome despicable piece of filth Taj.

You read it and comprehended nothing...

Did the article look like this to you:
Hate hate hate kill babies hate hate hate Trump's junk tastes like hate dreams, sweat, and all a Taj could ever ask for in a man. Hate hate, KFC, hate porn stars, grease, hate, orange ~ what does Orange even taste like Taj? ~ hate hate. No one appreciates the efforts Taj puts in to staying stupid, hate hate grenades hate.

No wonder you gravitated toward the article.

When Trump said he'd run the government like a business, this part of it. Coprporate America loves to intentionally screw employees, just to remind people of the power they have.

I don't think Taj cares what you think of him, and I doubt you care what he thinks of you. So what's the point of this?

McCabe asserts in his post-firing statement that he not only had authority to “share” that information to the media but did so with the knowledge of “the director.” The FBI director at the time was Comey."
That opinion piece makes a pretty big leap in the following paragraph:

If the “interaction” means leaking the information, then McCabe’s statement would seem to directly contradict statements Comey made in a May 2017 congressional hearing. Asked if he had “ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation” or whether he had “ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation,” Comey replied “never” and “no.”
Notice the "if" starting the whole thing off?

Fake as a two dollar bill right? Jerk posed as a republican his entire life just to pull this stunt. Typical Clinton colluder.

I hate to break it to you...a $2 bill is legitimate US currency.

Trump and his cronies are as fake as a $3 bill...

As a filthy American capitalist I bought shares of Amazon in november 2016 for 780$ a share specifically because I heard they treat their employees like absolute garbage and are destroying the entire retail sector of the US economy. Those shares are now worth 1500 each.

Don't @ me

You are correct. For me, my hope is that he'll stop coming around. I have not been successful, true but I still hope.
