The termination of Andrew McCabe has the left wing in an absolute emotional mess.
LA TImes: After McCabe's firing, all signs point to Trump trying to end Mueller's investigation
Mr. Contempt of Congress wailed about the cruelty:

More whining from a drama queen
Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley dramatically likened the firing of McCabe to the “Saturday Night Massacre” during the Nixon administration.And this:“This’ll be known as the ‘Friday Night Slaughter,'” Brinkley told CNN. “The very idea that Jeff Sessions hasn’t released something to inform the public of what this is, it was done in sort of a cloak of secrecy late at night, bizarre fashion. The fact that he was about to have his pension and they couldn’t let it go.”

Different possible motivations may be ascribed to these distraught outbursts. Either they're crass and dishonest or they are ignorant, because like it or not, here are the facts:
And thus when I read this accusation from my home state Senator Dick Blumenthal I shake my head:The firing, however, was based on the recommendation of a career FBI official under current FBI Director Chris Wray and was justified because the FBI has a zero tolerance for lying under oath. In fact, there are many examples of the rank and file in the FBI losing their jobs and retirement benefits for violating these high standards. If a different standard is applied at the most senior levels, the FBI is lost. So while this is a sad day, the action taken demonstrates that the dedicated men and women of the FBI will accept no lower standards, regardless of your rank or status.
Make no mistake, this was not a political decision forced by President Trump or any external party. The recommendation to fire McCabe came from the FBI's own Office of Professional Responsibility, led by FBI Assistant Director Candice Will, who has been in her position since her appointment by then-Director Robert Mueller in 2004.
In other words this was the FBI itself recommending to the attorney general that – based on well- established precedent – one of their own should be fired for not meeting the high standards of integrity expected of an FBI employee.
FBI disciplinary actions are based on facts and precedent from hundreds of cases that have been built up over many decades. These precedents are followed carefully in order to ensure consistency in FBI disciplinary actions.
The bottom line is, as Assistant Director Will has stated, "if you lie you are gone." So far from being a political decision, this is the FBI sending a strong and consistent message to its agents and support staff.

What liberal friends?

Believe it was justified.
The firing was long overdue. As far as I have seen, he hasn’t shown a smidgen of remorse, has not apologized but instead actually dares to act as if he were the victim.
“Blumenthal, as the others above, is either a liar or an idiot.”
___________________________________________________________________
Based on Blumenthal’s claim to have served as a Marine in Viet Nam, in my opinion it seems clear where he falls.
I’m waiting for Rosenstein to be fired, he deserves it just as much as McCabe, Comey and the rest.
Our “liberal friends” are incorrigible lunatics, don’t bother to educate them.
I have no liberal friends.
The two are not mutually exclusive choices. Liar? Yes. Idiot? Yes.
I think he qualifies for both. He’s both a liar & an idiot. 8>)
Thanks Starman417.

The coup was wider than most of us ever thought. This was designed to remove Sessions after they impeached Trump.
Interesting that Mulehead already cleared Sessions.
Ooops.
PFL
It's been alleged that it's an active effort being run by Val JarJar out of the Kenyan's DC bunker.
Bttt.

Not sure she is smart enough or nearly well connected enough to even begin to pull this off.
ZERO DOESN’T CONCERN ME. HE’S LAZY, LARGELY UNCONNECTED, AND POSSIBLY THE FBI STING RUN BY MCCABRE WAS DONE LARGELY WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE, that is, he didn’t instigate it, but signed off on it then ran out to play golf.
Remember, while Zero is culpable and guilty as hell, the man was fundamentally lazy and not anywhere near focused enough to pull any of this stuff off. Nor was Jarrett. But Podesta/Cankles? They had their fingers in everything.
It’s amazing how stupid they could be in some areas (Brad Parscale said that Cankles’ team flatly rejected using the Facebook data and FB’s offer of embedding team members with their campaign. Thank you Robby Mook!) But in other areas, they were devious as hell, and totally paranoid. Don’t forget they cooked up “muh Russia” within 24 hours of losing. That takes some doing.
I’ve always said this and thank God he was. Imagine the destruction he could have wrought if he had put down his bong and turned off ESPN.
I discontinued all attempts to educate liberals long ago. They live in their own reality and to them, their truth is the only truth, and you must be put to death if you don’t see the “truth” that they do. No amount of cognitive dissonance will cure them of their false reality. No matter how many times they are proven wrong, no matter how stupid you make them look, “I am right because I am right and you should be shot” circular logic dominates their ill minds.
Correct. If he had Trump’s work ethic we wouldn’t be having this conversation now. There wouldn’t be an FR.
