If McCabe keeps raising money this fast, he should probably run for something. Trying to raise $150k -- hit over $100k within three hours.

(109,024 posts)(probably no one) and whose wife was a Democrat who received funds from a Democratic pac run by Gov. McAuliffe -- so DT distrusted him from the very beginning.

(26,352 posts)Because even lovely human being republicans caucus and mostly vote with the majority of the rest of republicans, who are pig fucking assholes.
Make sense?

(6,709 posts)But I think that we need a functioning opposition, not the a$$hol-ish ilk of the current R party....somebody's gonna have to do it, so why not some who have been subjected to their hyper-partisan BS?

(2,795 posts)and that is what probably got him fired. He was trying to do right by the law and American people and not lie and distort for Trump. His loyalty was not with Trump but to the law he was hired to uphold. That isn't a good Trump toady.

(15,805 posts)Trump took both his job and his pension, so he has no source of income. Surely, you already knew that, so why criticise the folks who are supporting his legal defense fund?

(65,528 posts)It is good he has a war chest. It does appear that normal process in this matter was not followed. It would be interesting to see if the IG was unduly pressured.

(40,245 posts)Why would you think he's a millionaire? A senior agent with a GS-15 makes about $130,000 a year. That is toward the end of their career. That doesn't make you a millionaire several times over, not even once.

(40,245 posts)At the bottom of the gofundme page he writes the money will only be used for legal fees and anything left over will be given to charity. He does seem like an honorable man.
