Douglas Brinkley Goes Full Drama Queen Over McCabe Firing
Newsbusters ^ | March 17, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Quick! Somebody pass the smelling salts to CNN's Presidential Historian Douglas Brinkley.

He went full blown hysterical on CNN's Tonight on Friday over the news about the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. He tossed out words like "Friday night slaughter" and "paranoid" to describe President Donald Trump and he was only getting warmed up. He acted as if the firing was strictly political and unjustified.

Brinkley likes to portray himself as an historian but in reality he is just a leftist hyper-partisan.

That’s right. He’s simply a Revisionist History hack.

Trump should have taken him out with a SWAT raid like the left does to political opponents.

Probably. Or Woodward and Bernstein.

There is nothing objective about him.

Nice to get the “Trump wouldn’t dare touch us” meme out of the way. With this and each additional passing day the Mueller farce becomes less relevant, and all those shrieking stories about Obstruction Of Justice that have already been written lose more and more of their power. And let’s face it, not even CNN has enough money to hire all the crooks in DC.

Brinkley is such a DNC stooge.

In fact, he’s the male Doris Kearns Goodwin.

I’d really like to see that smug sanctimonious son of a biscuit eater marched off in handcuffs.

Right.

Firing McCabe was somehow an obstruction of justice ... even though McCabe hadn't been doing any work as an FBI agent for almost two months.

These people are so pathetic.

Re: Comey’s statement posted on Drudge

My guess is that when the IG report comes out, the American people won’t have to go to the trouble of ‘judging’ who is honorable & who is not .... it will be OBVIOUS & they will KNOW that Comey is a very Dirty Cop (along with a lot of other folks in the corrupt & weaponized FBI/DOJ).
