Yeaaahh! Jumped or was pushed, though?!
I freakin' love this stuff! I avidly read many news items regarding the palace intrigue in and around
President Trump's White House and I've never seen anything mentioned about Andrew McCabe leaving
early. Certainly not leaving earlier-than-early!
Nothing said and yet....
Quote:'...Andrew McCabe, the deputy director of the FBI, stepped down on Monday in a widely anticipated move
that nevertheless reflected a further deterioration in relations between the White House and authorities
investigating Donald Trump’s Russia ties...'
Quote:'...McCabe’s plan to retire this March was widely known. His decision to step aside, however, came amid anThe Guardian:
escalation by the president in attacks on the FBI, as an investigation by Mueller appears to draw closer to
the White House...'
Give me a break...! Are you telling me that Journalists knew this and didn't feel it relevant to report it
at some point? What else don't they bother reporting?! Even if it was well-known, the way it's written
implies it's 'a nothing-burger' and just something to take in one's stride.
Heck, even his Wikipedia-page didn't mention it until today! (I clicked on the citation '23' and saw it was
connected to today's NBC's page) So, 'widely-known' seems to have been not so widely known!!
