      Reminder: McCabe has been referred for possible criminal prosecution. If he's prosecuted, decent change McCabe points to stuff like this and successfully argues improper influence on case.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1028269087133257728 …

      Why isn’t the FBI giving Andrew McCabe text messages to Judicial Watch or appropriate governmental authorities. FBI said they won’t give up even one (I may have to get involved, DO NOT DESTROY). What are they hiding? McCabe wife took big campaign dollars from Hillary people.....

      Right, because @realDonaldTrump has been so successful in getting his own DOJ to do his bidding.

      You missed the policies pulling $$ from white collar enforcement and using it to criminalize brown people? The "religious freedom" stuff designed to do the opposite? The attempt to turn MS-13 into the biggest threat in the country? Or ... you don't know what you're talking abt.

      Yep, I only focused on the investigation designed to remove the President from office and his constant calls to expose corruption under previous administration.

      Unprecedented efforts have also been focused on what Trump claims is corruption, and yet no evidence of corruption has been shown. Perhaps, maybe, Trump made that up?

      Replying to @emptywheel @realDonaldTrump

      The other way - zero evidence of collusion, lot's of evidence of corruption under Obama's DOJ in Clinton and Trump investigations. Yet he can't get his own DOJ to shut down Mueller or provide unreducted Docs to Congress.

      Oh, he has (or had, at one time), a way to shut down Mueller. He knows if he does it will accelerate impeachment. But thanks for telling me there's no evidence of "collusion" so I can dismiss you as a flat-earther.

          OK, so we agree - he has as much influence to shut down Mueller as he does to have any impact on the McCabe investigation. Which was my original point. As to me being a flat-earther, I think I got that designation with my deplorable certificate, no?

          Say. Did you notice McCabe got fired. You keep pointing to facts that prove my case, and prove you're just repeating propaganda.

          Are you arguing that Trump can fire whomever he wants in his Administration (McCabe) or that he can't (Mueller/RR/Sessions)? I'm somewhat confused.

          "Can" is a word that refers to legal authority. Yes, he can -- and obviously did, with McCabe. Can with impunity is a political term. Because the evidence he conspired with Russia is so damning, no he can't, bc it will only accelerate attention to that conspiracy.

          Got it. He can fire Dep Director of FBI w political impunity, but cannot get the FBI to produce docs to Congress or fire RR w/o political impunity. I'm now persuaded.

          1) It's a political job. THere is no political impunity. Perhaps you're thinking of monarchies? 2) COngress has gotten unprecedented access to documents, and anyone telling you differently is treating you as a chump.
