Now that Sessions has fired McCabe, he's next.

[MineralMan]

He may think he's not, but he is. Trump will fire him, sure as I'm sitting in front of my computer.

Then Rosenstein and then Mueller. It could even happen this weekend, while we're all looking the other way.

[Doodley]

1. Agreed. Sessions has shown he cannot stand up to Trump.

[MineralMan]

3. If I'm not mistaken, Trump stayed at the White House

this weekend, instead of heading for Mar a Lago. He's working feverishly to try to get stuff wrapped up over the weekend, I'm betting. Watch for more bombshells today, Sunday and Monday.

It's the Weekend of the Long Knives, if I'm right.

12. No, MM, it's this...

Known by the inner circle as "Operation Dodo Bird".

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Absolutely

[underpants]

4. That is what it looks like

Firing McCabe served the purpose of discrediting his testimony and setting up Sessions. Of course, it was also just spiteful and vindictive.

[Still In Wisconsin]

5. Well it is NCAA Tournament time... we are distracted

What a perfect time to attempt a coup.

[MineralMan]

7. I'm not distracted. I don't follow college hoops at all.

[Still In Wisconsin]

19. Wisconsin's not in this year so I've got only a casual interest, but for a huge part of the country

"March Madness" is THE story.

[MineralMan]

20. Yes, I suppose so. I just ignore all of that, though.

It keeps them busy, so that's a good thing, I think.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Not me, I couldn't care less about college basketball.

It interests me even less than the Superbowl, if that's even possible. Lots of people don't care about sports, and we are not distracted.

[USALiberal]

15. LOTS of people do care about sports and ARE NOT distracted. nt

[USALiberal]

6. This has been predicted here weekly for 7 months. Yet NOTHING happens. nt

[Hekate]

8. I sincerely hope the tiny racist regrets the day he ever met Trump. Like everybody else...

...in Trump's administration, he has given up everything (in Sessions' case, a safe Senate seat, and the prestige associatd with it) and gotten nothing but filthy.

Trump's dirt rubs off on everyone.

[duforsure]

9. This is organized corruption

Coming out of this White House, and trump is desperately trying to get his rule of law to undermine any investigations of him moving forward, and to use against us all.

[MineralMan]

10. Yes, it is.

[Cyrano]

13. Sessions has a secure future

He can once again run for the senate in Alabama, and probably win.

On the other hand, he could probably be appointed head of the local white citizens council, or some other racist group. Would he turn down such an "honor?"

[MineralMan]

14. Barring that, he could probably live on his past grift.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

[Doodley]

16. If Dems win big in November, this should become one of many investigations against Trump.

[ProudLib72]

17. Why did JBeau do it? I keep asking myself this question

To get back into The Don's good graces? Because McCabe had something on JBeau? Just for the hell of it? The firing is going to create a lot more trouble than it solves. If JBeau had an ounce of sense he would have told The Don that firing McCabe was about as bad an idea as they come. Is this a hail Mary? If so, JBeau should have been well aware that the solution is very short term. So the only thing that it can be is the first step in firing Mueller. JBeau is either really stupid or really committed to party over country (and self preservation).

[MineralMan]

18. Because he's a coward and thinks Trump will reward him.

Trump will fire him, too. Sessions is a dumbass moron.
