Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    emptywheel Retweeted Glenn Kessler

    I'm really alarmed by how quickly people are willing to lay aside facts of case: 1) Imagine how line agent sharing case information would be treated? 2) Consider damage to Hillary. 3) Remember Horowitz is very good IG.https://twitter.com/GlennKesslerWP/status/973996710656708608 …

    Laying aside the facts of the case, why would anyone ever want to work for the federal government if your full pension could be yanked just days before you retire --after 21 years -- so your boss can avoid an angry tweet from the president? http://wapo.st/2IrfEA6?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.49dc34fb9a58 …

        I don't know facts Horowitz IDed (and neither do you). But it is simultaneously possible McCabe fucked up AND that Trump wants his head for unrelated reasons.

        Hillary lost more bc the FBI was leaking like a sieve and Jim Comey did some really stupid shit in response than anything RU did. Is it possible McCabe is being punished for same?

        I mean, if you're concerned about McCabe's pension but not Reality Winner's, you might think about why that is?

        So this was worth taking away his job and retirement? Pretty crappy I think.

        Hi. Did you notice where I asked what would happen to a line agent if he (most are he, sadly) shared case information, not even on a counterespionage case?

        There are a range of punishments up to firing. Early retirement being one of them.

        I’m not ready to believe this about McCabe until IG Horowitz report is turned in & we know more. This is way too convenient for Trump.

        The truth IS convenient. That’s why the saying “The Truth will set you free” exists.

        If reports are true, the misconduct was extremely serious, and recklessly damaged HRC to protect McCabe's reputation within the Bureau on eve of the election.
