Trump asked the acting FBI director whom he voted for during Oval Office meeting

Shortly after President Trump fired his FBI director in May, he summoned to the Oval Office the bureau’s acting director for a get-to-know-you meeting.

The two men exchanged pleasantries, but before long, Trump, according to several current and former U.S. officials, asked Andrew McCabe a pointed question: Whom did he vote for in the 2016 election?

McCabe said he didn’t vote, according to the officials, who like others interviewed for this article requested anonymity to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.

Trump, the officials said, also vented his anger at McCabe over the several hundred thousand dollars in donations his wife, a Democrat, received for her failed 2015 Virginia state Senate bid from a political action committee controlled by a close friend of Hillary Clinton.

11. The First Amendment is under attack, along with the FBI and Dept of Justice, journalists, etc.

I can only hope that the citizens realize that the foundations of the American Constitution are in jeopardy. The congress and executive branch are controlled by outright fascists. Now they have their sights on the judiciary. People don't believe it can happen here, just as many in Germany wrongly concluded. The Republicans began this war on the constitution over forty years ago. It lead to the demise of the "fairness doctrine" and the 1996 laws that allowed the takeover of the radio. Today Clear Cannel owns 85 of the most powerful stations and right-wing radio is dominated by radical conservatives. Progressives programing is virtually nonexistent with over 25,000 hours of hate radio per day as compared with only 250 hours of progressive programing. The conservative major TV outlet, FOX New, spews out right lies daily. 74% of their coverage is Mostly False, False or out right vicious lies. The concept of that is portrayed by the MSM has been to allow conservative commentators to spread lies without challenge leading to a false equivalency between progressives and conservatives. This situation can not continue without serious consequences.
