Ezra Klein of Vox has weighed in on the firing of Andrew McCabe. He says (surprise!) that Trump fired McCabe in a tawdry and improper manner. Now let's consider the truth facts.
1. McCabe lied to investigators under oath. There's no two ways about this. We don't know the details, but they will soon be coming when the Inspector General releases his report. So how does Klein characterize this? Here's what Ezra has to say:
McCabe is not innocent of wrongdoing. He made a questionable call (at best) about allowing a leak to the press during the 2016 campaign and then he appears to have lied about it, though he says it was an honest mistake.
So perjury is now an honest mistake. Or, as Jim Comey might say, "McCabe may have lied but he lacked the requisite intent." Nevertheless, even Ezra Klein has to admit that McCabe appears to have committed perjury, a felony.
2. McCabe was fired after three non-partisan and independent agencies determined that his conduct required that he be fired. They recommended that course of action to the Attorney General last Wednesday, and he accepted those recommendations.
Klein ignores the non-partisan, independent chorus calling for McCabe to be fired. For Klein, this was President Trump firing McCabe. That's total BS. Now there's no question that the President is happy at this outcome. Remember, we know from the Strzok texts to his mistress Page that McCabe was part of a cabal in the FBI that in the fall of 2016 was looking for an "insurance policy" should Trump pull of the impossible and actually beat Clinton. Trump knows well that McCabe is an enemy who used the resources of the FBI to try to hurt Trump, indeed to spy on his campaign. Don't forget, McCabe is also one of the FBI leaders who knowingly signed off on giving the bogus Trump Dossier to the FISA court as the basis for surveillance on the Trump campaign.
Klein's spin is laughable. Nevertheless, it is accepted by many on the left. They don't care about the facts or the requirements of the law. Consider this: three Democrat congressman have already offered jobs to McCabe so that he can still get his federal pension. THREE DEMOCRATS WANT TO REWARD CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR BECAUSE IT IS ANTI-TRUMP. This is disgusting.
