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

    It's oddly quiet. 3:41 on a Friday and neither firings nor indictments. Not even an announcement about McCabe. Creepy.

        Imagine if McMaster's aide stole Trump's phone for the day on the assumption that if he can make it through the day he's good for another month?

        Does the grand jury work on Shabbat time?

        Or, to put it another way, if a grand jury acts in a room without windows, does Shabbat even matter?

        The "story" has been: Trump's at his most-free when Ivanka has left for Shabbat.

        But that would mean he'd miss the deadline on McCabe.

        McCabe is not his decision — it’s DOJ’s.

        Yup. But they're running out of time too, no? Is it right that the deadline is 5PM?

        If he’s retiring Monday, then I guess that’s right. Of course, they may have made a decision but not announced it.

        Sunday, I think. If you're going to do it and retain any semblance of it being merited you can't wait until Saturday, can you?

        Trump wins without firing him. He just says he was TREMENDOUSLY corrupt and dirty, the FBI recommended firing him for being in the tank for Crooked Hillary, and he skated because the clock ran out.
