WAS FUCKING BULLSHIT.

I knew it wasn't about Linick investigating Pompeo and his wife's dinners with bigwigs.

I knew it was about something more serious, and it was about TRUMP.

Whenever he fires someone at 'person X's recommendation' ... it's always about some corrupt criminal bullshit on his own part.

We can hope with the publicity that Rachel's been giving this that we'll see some action!

Times tomorrow ... hopefully with some sort of hard proof that Linick was indeed investigating what Woody Johnson did for Trump, and that the report of the matter has in fact been 'classified'.

BTW, wonder what ever happened with teh Democrats demanding all kinds of documents re: that firing. It would appear that their demand to immediately reinstate Linick ... didn't work out.
