Indeed!
What about the accuser being a documented flagrant fabulist, and the accused an honorable credible public servant associated with an agency noted for it's rigorous processing of factual information.
What about that?

This biggest "what about" in this story is "what about waiting for the IG report to come out before taking action?" Say what you want, this looks like petty vindictiveness from a frightened Dotard.

You are just as shallow and clueless as your leader the Dotard.
Perhaps shameless too.

Sputter, gasp, wheeze.

So, it's finally sinking in that your 'Dearest Leader' is nothing more than a garden variety real estate flim-flam man who likes to force himself on women half/one third his age. You sure are slow on the uptake, Mike.

Andrew McCabe: Not in my worst nightmares did I dream my FBI career would end this way

On March 16, I spent the day with my family waiting to hear whether I would be fired, after 21 years in the FBI and one day before I qualified for my long-planned, earned retirement.

As day turned to night, I had a lot of time to reflect on how it would feel to be separated from the organization I loved — and led — and the mission that has been the central focus of my professional life. Despite all the preparation for the worst-case scenario, I still felt disoriented and sick to my stomach. Around 10 p.m., a friend called to tell me that CNN was reporting that I had been fired. She read me the attorney general’s statement.

So, after two decades of public service, I found out that I had been fired in the most disembodied, impersonal way — third-hand, based on a news account. Shortly after getting word, I noticed an email from a Justice Department official in my work account, telling me that I had been “removed from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the civil service.”

The next day I woke to find the president of the United States celebrating my punishment: “Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI — A great day for Democracy.” I was sad, but not surprised, to see that such unhinged public attacks on me would continue into my life after my service to the FBI. President Trump’s cruelty reminded me of the days immediately following the firing of James B. Comey, as the White House desperately tried to push the falsehood that people in the FBI were celebrating the loss of our director. The president’s comments about me were equally hurtful and false, which shows that he has no idea how FBI people feel about their leaders.

There is nothing like having the opportunity to be a part of the greatest law-enforcement organization in the world, working every day for goals that you respect and cherish. It is the best job you will ever have. Even if a president decides to attack you and your family. Even if you get fired on a Friday night, one day from your retirement.

History when written will be gracious and kind when considering McCabe, will the same be true of The Traitor in Chief?

Problem is, people ignorant enough to vote for the likes of Trump don’t read history, so won’t learn from it. Witness the rise of White Nationalism (Nazis) again after just a few short years. Trump, Bannon, Gorky, Whell, etc, all celebrate these “good people”. Sigh.

It is very apparent humans don't learn from experience. Condemned to the ever reliving experiences. A reason we will never be more then a blight on existence until this is overcomed.

"I am an emergency room pediatrician and an accidental politician — someone who never thought much about politics until I was recruited to run for state office after making a statement about the importance of expanding Medicaid. That decision — plus some twisted reporting and presidential tweets — ended up costing my husband, Andrew, his job and our family a significant portion of his pension my husband had worked hard for over 21 years of federal service. For the past year and a half of this nightmare, I have not been free to speak out about what happened. Now that Andrew has been fired, I am.
Andrew and I met as sophomores in college, at Duke University. He was interested in law (eventually law enforcement), I in medicine (eventually pediatrics). Andrew’s a reliable Republican; I have voted, over time, for both Republicans and Democrats.

As we have raised our children, I tried to vote more regularly and pay more attention to the issues that affect our community. And with my work in a hospital emergency room in Virginia, I saw the impact of how government decisions hurt my patients, especially when the state decided not to accept the federal government’s funding to expand Medicaid." cont. >

I notice they’ve closed his GoFundMe legal defense page after it vastly exceeded expectations in just a few days. Over $500,000 donated with an original goal of $100,000. People understand the injustice done here by Trump and his henchmen, and have responded. Of course, real justice will only be complete when Donny is sitting in Leavenworth for life.
