   OBSTRUCTION! He doesn’t even try to hide it. A straight thug.

   Trump to COMEY: I need loyalty.
   Trump to McCABE: Who did you vote for?
   Trump to ROSENSTEIN: Are you on my team?

   Here is what obstruction of justice looks like:

   Trump fired Preet Bharara
   Trump fired Sally Yates
   Trump fired FBI Director James Comey
   Trump repeatedly threatened, attacked and sought to remove former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabehttps://t.co/FbdYBcaTc6

   OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

   Per Bloomberg, John Kelly has been calling DOJ officials to "lecture them on the White House’s expectations…He has taken to ending such conversations with a disclaimer that the White House isn’t expecting officials to do anything illegal or unethical." https://t.co/cj2k0NV7xV pic.twitter.com/RKvacKISYQ

   TREASON

   There is a country whose leader is being investigated by an agency that's being investigated secretly by a legislator who was on the leader's transition team, which that agency is investigating for colluding with a nation that's subject to sanctions the leader refuses to enforce.

   James Comey on McCabe

   Special Agent Andrew McCabe stood tall over the last 8 months, when small people were trying to tear down an institution we all depend on. He served with distinction for two decades. I wish Andy well. I also wish continued strength for the rest of the FBI. America needs you.

    Trump's firing of Andrew McCabe is another shot in the heart of our democracy. Our leaders must exemplify rather than exempt themselves from the rule of law. A President who obstructs justice is no President at all. That's just a felon.

    Stop calling Trump a toddler, a child. To call him a child is dismissing his thuggish behavior. He has no business in the Oval Office because he does not respect the Office of the Presidency. How long will those in authority allow him to drag America through the mud?

    Trump fired Comey. Trump tried to fire Mueller. Trump says he wants to fire Rosenstein. Trump faced possible testimony from FBI lawyer James Baker—so Baker got reassigned. Trump tweeted invective at McCabe—McCabe was forced to retire.

    When do we *wake up* and see the *pattern*?

    3 people familiar with the call tell @carolelee Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it https://t.co/GsKmYYvNkL

    This is NOT how Innocent people act. This is a full blown Constitutional Crisis. Watch closely over the remainder of the week. Rosenstein is likely next:

    James Comey – Fired
    Mueller – Attempted to Fire
    Andrew McCabe – Fired

    Innocent men don't fire those investigating them.

    FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is, and has been, a dedicated public servant who has served this country well. Bogus attacks on the FBI and DOJ to distract attention from a legitimate criminal inquiry does long term, unnecessary damage to these foundations of our government.

    Republican Hill staffer just told me Trump is thrilled about the removal of FBI Deputy Director McCabe. Said Trump & senior staff think it will allow him to fire Rod Rosenstein & Robert Mueller, then end the Russia probe. Only reaffirms the fact Congress needs to #ProtectMueller.
