McCabe is forcibly released from his FBI position.
Republicans vote to release a GOP WRITTEN and CLASSIFIED memo which degrades the Justice Department and FBI in relation to their investigation into the Trump campaign's tie to Russia.
At the same time, the GOP voted down a Democratic effort to release a memo written by Democratic staffers that points out the inaccuracies in the GOP memo.
On the same day, the White House tells Congress that POTUS will not be enforcing Russian sanctions.
Fascist coup? Nah, seems legit to me.

If we survive, it's going to be some movie.

Russia has a motive to NOT do a stunt like that on the same day. So not connected.
When someone is giving you a gift or a payment, do not rile up their enemies.
When Trump is paying back Russia, Russia has a motive to not rile up the Trump-Russia watchers.

I know it happens regularly, but this one was so close and the timing. The timing! Time will tell.

(15,646 posts)Attempted coup, so your point is correct. But it was a coup nevertheless ... as this appears to be. Will we be robust enough? I think so ... I hope so.

(15,646 posts)Intelligence committee, en masse. The Rd would go after Schiff for "treason" or something along those lines were he to do that. At a minimum, they would make the entire scandal about him, and find a way to expel him from the Committee and perhaps Congress. These are dangerous times. We need Schiff on the inside.

Checks and balances are coming, my people! Picture "check" as in a hockey check; it makes me feel better!
Also, the pile of BS they are building is indicative of the pile of truth (evidence) that Mueller and company have built.
It is up to us, the power is in our hands. Vote Vote Vote!
