Cuomo Lets Slip on McCabe Firing: FBI IG an Obama Appointee
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

It came at the very end of a long segment on the firing of Andrew McCabe. Maybe it should have come at the beginning . . .

On CNN this morning, after a protracted discussion of the firing of Andrew McCabe, and just before going to break, Chris Cuomo let slip what might be the seminal fact in this matter. As Cuomo put it:

“The best thing going for the President on this one is that the IG was an Obama appointee, and this was his report.”

Or the most powerful defenders of the Constitution have a jack boot on the throat of the IG ensuring that the law is followed to the letter.

The same guy who whitewashed Fast and Furious will whitewash this mess.

Just because Obama appointed Ashton and Horowitz doesn’t necessarily mean he actually knew the first thing about them. These appointments are based on recommendations and most of the recommendations are based on who has experience in a given field.

In 2010, there was not even the most remote thought that their DOJ positions would have profound national repercussions. There was no remote thought that Donald Trump would decide to run for POTUS, much less win. In 2010, Obama was hoping HE would be reelected two years hence.

“Whoa! Maybe that’s why even the likes of Adam Schiff are acknowledging that the firing “may have been justified.”

When the Truth is smacking them in the eye, so to speak, what other choice do they have, but to tell it as it is?

Maybe you will start using your Middle name...want to share it with us to kinda prepare us??

I have used BHO’s Middle name since early 2008 when McCain told us NOT to use his middle name, HUSSEIN...
AND BHO WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN TO ME AS ...HUSSEIN OBAMA..THE FRAUD.

“The best thing going for the President on this one is that the IG was an Obama appointee, and this was his report.”

It was McCabe's peers. The only involvement by Trump is that he was pleased that this slug got his due and was fired. These leaks have got to stop, they are criminal. AND, he let Hillary off the hook among so many other abuses of power. It was a great day in America when Sessions fired this guy.

I don't understand your post, and I think you didn't understand mine.

My name is David, as many here know, but there are so many idiots named David these days, I might start using my middle name.

Which is NOT Muhammed, Hussain, or any of that crap.

Again, I don't know where you're coming from.

My middle name is Scott.

The MSM will ignore this fact - 'cause it ruins the fun of blaming Trump...

Horowitz’s reputation is sterling.

A lot of people around here and in other conservative circles back in the day thought that Horowitz whitewashed the Fast & Furious investigation.

Add to that Horowitz seems to have become part of the DOJ's stonewalling of Congress problem.

Add to all of that the Obama appointee did have Obama sign off into law his IG empowerment bill, so apparently Obama wasn't all that upset with The Horror Show.

It’s going to get interesting...

The press (propaganda arm of the democrat party) must be freaking out... they chose the wrong horse to ride.

Scott, I understood you. Dang, I feel for you. Letterman, Hasselhoff, Bowie, Schwimmer, Berkowitz!! I am trying, but you do have a tough first name. Well, there is always Crockett to look up to, I guess. Good Luck.
