McCabe put out a statement in response, and here's an excerpt:

Trump is a disgusting, petty POS. That's the only way to explain this thing.

He's also STUPIDLY petty - this just takes his burned bridges with the FBI at step farther.

Yes, for someone who "needs loyalty, expects loyalty" that badly, Donald Trump is pretty terrible at actually instilling loyalty in his subordinates. Loyalty is never a one-way street.

In my limited experience, this isn't just a problem with Trump but with much (most?) of corporate America.

Upper management always says they expect loyalty, 80-hour work weeks, and so on. Then they turn around, immediately fire a couple dozen people they promised not to fire three months earlier, skip year-end bonuses (except for themselves) and then get upset when they're badmouthed on industry forums and twitter, and are surprised and unhappy when remaining employees start bailing.

Trump is a sociopathic pig, we all know this. What does it say about the portion of America that worships him and cheers his every move? That's the real concern.

Wow. For a former CIA director to say that about a sitting U.S. President is just surreal. He is pissed.

And like his former boss, he also kept notes on Trump:

BBC reports McCabe has been fired, was due to retire in two days' time. From what I understand it means that he is forbidden pension, which he could have kept if simply resigned rather than being fired.

That’s hilarious.

Screw Trump, screw McCabe, screw the FBI. Screw Brennan, too, for showing more empathy regarding his millionaire buddy’s retirement fund than for the innocent people he’s tortured.
