Fmr FBI Official Sues Trump For Unlawful, Unconstitutional Acts | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Andrew McCabe, former FBI deputy director, is suing the Trump administration for ‘unlawful’ termination, last year, calling it a part of Trump’s ‘unconstitutional scheme’. John Flannery, former federal prosecutor, notes the lawsuit may be a turning point to subpoena the President, as there are ‘several civil cases’ that can force Trump to testify in his defense as the ‘person responsible’ for the firing.

Fmr FBI Official Sues Trump For Unlawful, Unconstitutional Acts | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

  1. The question is though…..how many lawsuits are out there for Donald J Trumpturd. The only problem is that Trumpturd has put his Republikkkan cronies in place to protect him.

    1. Republicans who support him have failed to check out his resume. He has spent his lifetime embroiled in lawsuits which he usually loses or settles out of court because he has no respect for the rule of law unless it benefits him financially.
      He will destroy the Republican party and the United States. Just give him a chance.

  2. Time and time again it’s incredible to see, that literally one of the dumbest humans on this planet is the president. Only watching television, incapable of normal human interaction and lying about everything. How can anyone explain this to their children? Stop him now. #ToxicTrump #ThisIsNotAmerica

    1. @We are all connected That tells me you NEVER listen to Trump. He gives speeches of the cuff when leaving the Whitehouse and usually makes a lot of sense.
      Unfortunately the media mis-reports and outright LIES.

    2. @CFS you are INSANE if you think his stupid “chopper talks” are A) factual , and B) coherent or well spoken

    3. @We are all connected Proving YET AGAIN YOU DON’t listen to him.
      I mis-spoke when I said “talks”.
      He is answering questions from reporters. While sometimes the noise of the helicopter in the background is annoying, he is giving straight answers to reporters questions.
      Yes, Trump brags at times. But if you remember Obama’s statements about a declining economy, the contrast to what we actually have is great.
      Of course, we are in the longest expansion in US history.
      That is Trump, despite the lack of Democrat help.

  3. I deeply, deeply despised Trump’s incredibly petty spite in firing McCabe deliberately short of a full pension. What a petty, vicious little man! And our president??! Un-be-liev-able. Good luck, McCabe.

    1. @Patchwork Girl gas lighting! That is the leftist game plan. Brennan used mifsud, halper, downer to try and entrap trump campaign staff. Papadolpous and carter page turned them down. Nsa whistler blower william binney said the dnc servers werent hacked, inside job. Pulizitzer prize winner seymour hersch days the data stolen was inside job by seth rich.

    2. @Patchwork Girl you are lying. Mueller report stated that no russian channels were never established. Hopefully in a few week the first arrest will be made including brennan, mccabe, strzok, lynch, ohrs, comey

    1. He’ll be fine. He only knows half a dozen phrases in English, but he can blender them into an hour long rant just fine.

  4. We all seen this president target The FBI that had something to do with the Russian investigation he did a Saturday night massacre one by one

    1. Yeah, remember Comey gave his testimony as did Mueller…. democrats still have no proof of anything… but there are a lot of corrupt people in the FBI and the DOJ and President Trump is taking them out one by one…..

    2. Ruth Hall : Trump is literally inciting ACTUAL MASSACRES, now. On the very day he was at ground zero of a Nazi atrocity, his goons were rounding up the very people targeted in the Nazi’s, “manifesto.” Trump has all but ENSURED there will be more atrocities. He’s literally showed America that Right Wing Terrorism WORKS. He just Capitulated to a Terrorist.

  5. Trump is so corrupt… he’s just putting his friends into office and doesn’t care about the American people. We need to go down the rabbit hole and get all the tea 🍵

    1. Look at the timeline….. Democrats excused Hillary for her e-mails ahead of the time when they should have been found and by McCabe who wanted to help his DEMOCRATIC wife run for office…. ( its almost like they knew because they secretly were protecting Hillary).

    2. So you think Trump should put people he does not know into office? Doesn’t every President put friends into office?
      JFK picked Bobby.

    3. lillipuff 702 : On the very day he was at ground zero of a Nazi atrocity, his goons were rounding up the very people targeted in the Nazi’s, “manifesto.” Trump has all but ENSURED there will be more atrocities. He’s literally showed America that Right Wing Terrorism WORKS. He just Capitulated to a Terrorist.

  6. The wheel of justice shall turn again, know the truth is always last, 2020 democrat president give him his full retirement back
    Thank you for your service

    1. He wasting his time and money, the highest court SCOTUS are corrupt as the government that appointed the judges.

    2. Alexander NOT The Great, u think u are grandiose, lol……that would be A Criminal Indictment of CONald. Orange skin-orange suit.

    1. @jabberwolf Russia if you’re listening, I hope you can find the 33 thousand emails.. Who was asking Russia for assistance? trump!!

    1. Sharon Atkinson : On the very day he was at ground zero of a Nazi atrocity, his goons were rounding up the very people targeted in the Nazi’s, “manifesto.” Trump has all but ENSURED there will be more atrocities. He’s literally showed America that Right Wing Terrorism WORKS. He just Capitulated to a Terrorist.

  7. Good for Mr. McCabe for suing Trump. Without cause, the fake President had defamed McCabe repeatedly. Then, only one day before McCabe’s scheduled retirement, TwitterGuy Trump fired McCabe, a truly dastardly, even vicious act, since it robbed McCabe of his pension, a source of retirement income which McCabe had worked for and earned during more than two decades of truthful, assiduous, and dynamic work at the FBI. McCabe was deep-sixed for no good reason other than Trump’s bloody-minded mental vacuity. I hope intensely that the courts will restore McCabe’s pension to him and make Trump finally pay for his monstrous crimes and misdemeanors against the USA, its institutions and its citizens.

  8. I hope McCabe win back his pension and gets back pay, because Trump and his administration was wrong for the way they fired him..
