While initial poster's message was exaggerated, it's becoming pretty clear that his administration did weaponize federal agencies to target political opponents. This would seem to include the FBI if the memo in question is substantiated. That would mean that not only did the FBI coordinate with the Attorney General to go easy on Clinton, they also used a dubious dossier, funded by the Clinton campaign and DNC to obtain FISA warrants to snoop on political opponents.

If the roles were reversed, and this were a GOP administration using government agencies to target political opponents, you know you would be concerned.

No he doesn't because it's not true and it's been refuted repeatedly. It was 400k and it came from McAuliffes PAC, a PAC that contributed larger amounts than that to two other Democratic candidates. The game cons play with this is guilt by association. Clinton knows McAuliffe so she must have had McAuliffe donate the money with some sort of quid pro quo. This nonsense never stops in Cult 45 fantasyland.

You may want to check what the New York Times, and CBS are reporting before you make partisan assumptions. Both are now reporting McCabe was facing a demotion based on an internal OIG investigation, and resigned in lieu of accepting a demotion, not pressure from the WH.

Public shamings by Trump, seeing the president drag your wife into it, hints of demotions, etc pretty much define "getting pushed out". What else do you think 'pushed out' means?

You conveniently ignored the substance, as expected. McCabe was facing a demotion, based on an internal FBI OIG investigation, not pressure from the WH. He resigned rather than accept it. Are you now going to blame the NYT, and CBS, both known for their overt conservative bias for skewing their stories?

This is beginning to look like the "Night of the Long Knives", when Hitler turned on the SA, and purged its leadership (some permanently).

Here's the table

Dems holding a pair of threes

1) discredit the Fisa memo by producing a memo of their own.

2) get talking points out there that its still russia russia russia

3) play to their programed drones. Trump is bad

Repubs holding a full boat aces over eights

1) McCable fired
2) Fisa warrant signed by Rossenstein et all to spy of trump
3) IG and AG ready to file

c'mon whose going to take the pot?

Anyone can say anything. Watch the heads fall.

Again nothing of substance, just hyperbole. Facts are hard, right?

If Trump had nothing to hide why is he trying to get people tied to the investigation fired? An honest man wouldn’t be worried. Watch Faux snooze and I’m sure they will tell you what you want to hear.
