Attorney denies Trump ever called McCabe's wife a loser

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 03/18/18 01:56 PM EDT

President Trump’s attorney on Sunday pushed back on former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s claims that the president called his wife a “loser.”

John Dowd told Axios that Trump “never made that statement according to two others who were present.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on Friday for not being forthcoming with investigators during an inspector general review.

Trump, who has personally attacked McCabe in the past, quickly praised that decision on Twitter, accusing McCabe of corrupt tactics and calling his firing a "great day for democracy."

Gimme a friggin' break.

Maybe it could've happened at, you know, a DIFFERENT TIME ... OTHER than when those two people happened to be in the presence of the POTUS? Maybe, possibly, ya think? Or do these two people spend 24/7 with Dump? And if so they must be driven utterly insane by now, so ...

and that each time the asshole disparaged his wife. Three occasions were in person and one was by telephone. Sure would be good if McCabe taped his phone calls, wouldn't it?
