Are republicans. Dump is guilty and he demonstrates his consciousness of it multiple times each day.

if it is really possible. Possibly someone like Flake? Such an action would be a signal to Trump that partisanship will not protect him.

No. Not a single decent Republican.

I wonder if he'll take any of them? McCabe is personally well-off, so it's not like he'll starve, but he worked for that pension and he damn well ought to get it.

Court system gets done with the phony firing,Mr.McCabe with get his Pension and we the Tax Payers will have to pay a wrong full dismissal claim in the millions.

Got to give a way to go to Congressman Waltz,Bocan,and others for stepping up and trying to make a difference.

and he ought to get it. Trump is in effect telling all federal employees that if they do anything he opposes he'll publicly humiliate them, ruin their careers and take away their pensions and benefits. That McCabe can do without the money is irrelevant (and he seems to think so, too, since he's fighting back). Trump can't be allowed to get away with this.

What Trump did was awful and sets a bad precedent for sure.

The good news is that McCabe will be fine financially. Sadly there are many many people who have been hurt by Trump and his policies and his actions who are not so lucky.

I fear that the high profile shenanigans of Trump right now are diverting attention away from the most vulnerable among us who need our help to combat what he is doing to them.

DACA, for instance, seems to fallen off the radar completely.
