More drama unfolded as President Trump fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The latest firing was seen by some as a political move. Others thought the act could come back and haunt the President.
It was later reported that McCabe had documented his conversations with Trump and they were now in Robert Mueller’s possession. This follows the same pattern of former FBI director James Comey.
Comey also promised Trump that the American people would be hearing his story very soon.
This doesn’t sound like good news for Trump who had been dealing with many issues since taking the Presidency.
Trump’s attorney John Dowd wanted to see the end of the investigation.
“I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt dossier,” Dowd told CNN in a statement, reacting to the news of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe’s firing.
Why Stop?
Many of Trump’s lawyers had claimed that the probe would soon finish. They expected that the probe would have finished in December 2017. They were however wrong about their assumption and now once again made an effort to see it over.
The GOP claimed there was no evidence of Russian collusion, but could they be hiding something?
Was there a reason now that the pressure was intensifying around Trump’s finances that another call was made to end the probe?
