I hope Mueller is the hammer and McCabe the spike.
But hope is a maybe and the midterms are coming.
If you aren’t networking, activating and mobilizing to take democracy back you are allowing Trump and his band of sociopaths to win.
#BlueWave is a call to action.
Get to work IRL.

CNN’s @LauraAJarrett reports that much like fired FBI Director James Comey, there are memos former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe wrote documenting his conversations with the President, among other things, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

The global shift towards authoritarianism reflects the global concentration of wealth (and therefore power) in the hands of a few largely unaccountable people. Billionaires controlling the economy and now the presidency in Russia, China and US.

I have been involved in DOJ and FBI disciplinary matters since 1994. I have never before seen the type of rush to judgment – and rush to summary punishment – that we have witnessed in the case of Andy McCabe: bit.ly/2FZB1tH

Mc­Cabe wrote con­tem­po­ra­ne­ous memos de­scrib­ing his deal­ings with Trump and the W.H.—and about what Comey told Mc­Cabe about his own in­ter­ac­tions, a per­son close to Mc­Cabe tells WSJ.

This per­son said Mc­Cabe turned the memos over to Mueller.

Oh, cozie - I'm on Twitter from time to time looking at the aftermath of my daughter's participation in the students' occupation in support of the her university's UCU, and lots of other things, Trump related, keep popping up on my Twitter feed, that's why I'm still posting here!

ouais I have a friend teaching at Royal Holloway who's retweeted something about fire doors being locked and access to medication being denied? Sounds really concerning.

Also it’s funny how they were against us having people around for ‘health and safety’ and yet they have locked the fire doors and are blocking access to supplies and not allowing people in to get their medication...@RH_UCU #RHOccupy

To reiterate this: the College have locked the fire doors and blocked access to medication causing risk to life.

Obviously McCabe has been prematurely sacked to prevent him getting his pension as a nasty act by Trump. But if he went to an employment Tribunal (or the equivalent in the US) he would surely wipe the floor with 45? Or am I being dim?
