This and the Mueller news, that's some hardcore stuff tonight.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Hillarious segment between Cuomo and the Mooch just now.

The White House counsel Don McGahn on the story shares the same lawyer as Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus. The Washington Post version of the story mentions Bannon and Priebus specifically as trying to talk Trump out of firing Mueller. I'd expect them to be among the sources for this, especially as Bannon just started cooperating.
Also interesting is that, like clockwork, these big bombs fall when Trump travels internationally where he's less protected and insulated. Looking forward to the unhinged reaction.

Yeah saw that as well. Would be fecking hillarious if Bannon, Priebus, and McGann were all sources.
The Mooch happens to think Bannon was involved.
What the feck. It's on. McGahON.
Be interested to hear if the network ever bring the discussion up again.
FFS !!
Anyhoo...we will deal with this tomorrow ...look this car crash

"I'm sorry viewers, we haven't discussed this with Trump's lawyers yet and figured out exactly what narrative they would like us to run with, we'll have more on this tomorrow".
Given it‘s Hannity isn‘t it actually surprising that he acknlowedges that the sources confirmed? Would have expected him to not say anything at least not in that show.
Thought the same
Watching the Mooch tie himself in knots is fun but my god that sycophantism of him is unbelievably hard to watch.Yeah saw that as well. Would be fecking hillarious if Bannon, Priebus, and McGann were all sources.

Yeah I think he is auditioning for the Chief of Staff job in case Trump ditches Kelly anytime soon.Why would Mueller want to interview Trump unless he had something on Trump? If he wanted to secure indictments on senior members of the administration then he could do that easily, as he has, without the political furore that would be the result of dragging the President into it. If the intent is to find out more information on others then surely the President would be the last person you'd want to speak to and would want to see if you could get information from other members of the administration and others without having to take that step.
I still feel cheated out of 3 good months of the Mooch in the White House.
I agree. He left too soon.
I loved how he told Cuomo he went to Harvard about 5 times and then remarked "I think you said I went to Harvard". He's like Trump, got to stroke his ego or he'll do it himself.

So are they using this memo thing to get to Meuller by replacing Rosenstein?
This is the latest cooked up plot by the Nunes brigade. Apparently last week's #ReleasetheMemo operation backfired spectacularly so they are moving on to character assassinating Rosenstein this week.
They're not very good at this, are they?
Shows how desperate they are that they can only call on very flimsy allegations.
They know they can’t just get rid of Mueller, they also know they have to. This is going to end in another “massacre” as it’ll be the last thing they have left. I’m really not sure I trust the GOP to deal with that scenario as they should especially if it came after the midterms and they held both houses.
Its just pathetic that they're leaking classified stuff to the media. Way too many politicians leak stuff relating to national security and they should be all removed from office and prosecuted.

Happens all the time. Big difference is it is now being done as an orchestrated plot to obstruct justice on behalf of Trump, which makes it doubly insidious.

Can someone who lived through Watergate please tell me all this shit is normal compared to what happened then?
Obviously the full extent isn't yet known but I've heard plenty saying this could potentially blow that out of the water depending on the scale.
Gotta feeling this is the start of something big.
I think McCabe is going to be a key witness for Mueller in the obstruction charges and he probably feels that he can't continue in his role while testifying against someone who is essentially his boss.
EDIT - Seems to be what others are suggesting in the replies to that tweet. I guess we're pretty close to the first charges against Trump.
Yeah that's definitely a possibility. McCabe was already on his way out (due to retire in a month), so this may just give him more flexibility to work with Mueller.
This is a bit long but my word...how aren't these guys in prison?

This seems plausible. You can accumulate up to 60 days of leave so if he was scheduled to retire in March, he would be eligibile to leave now.
Key question is whether he was pressured to leave earlier than his planned March departure. Wray threatened to resign if McCabe was forced out.
