A Great Day For Democracy

President Trump called the firing of Andrew McCabe a "great day for democracy."  Meanwhile, the left wing echo chamber of the mainstream media is condemning the firing for "chipping away at the independence of the DOJ".  So which is it?  When the non-partisan Inspector General and the Office of Professional Responsibility of each of the FBI and DOJ all conclude that McCabe concealed certain facts when asked about them, lied under oath and ought to be fired, does the DOJ lose its independence when the Attorney General follows that non-partisan recommendation and fires McCabe?  Only in the anti-Trump world would anyone even say such a thing with a straight face.  The anti-Trumpers find confronting Trump in all things more important than the rule of law, more important than the honesty of the FBI, in fact, more important than anything else.

The truth is that McCabe's firing was the right thing to do.  The American people ought not have to support him for the rest of his life after he so totally and illegally ignored his responsibilities at the FBI.  Lying to the FBI is a crime.  Lying by the FBI ought to have serious consequences as well.  There's no two ways about it.
