Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was accused by the Inspector General of the Department of Justice Michael Horowitz of “repeated” instances of “lack of candor” which is how the Swamp describes lying. Horowitz conducted a laudable and unassailed investigation that he presented to Congress.
McCabe was famously the sweaty rodent who testified in front of Congress suggesting he never knew that the Dossier was all baloney and was a co-conspirator with Peter Strzok and his gal pal Lisa Page.
McCabe was fired from the FBI by the Attorney General of the United States though the Trump admin decided not to charge him criminally and bring him to trial. At the time, it seemed like an eminently fair arrangement — fired rather than jailed, no?
I am a total skeptic as it relates to the development of drugs in the United States. I think it is a rigged and corrupt system. That is, however, not the point of my blog post today.

Right now, we are conducting a test.

Big Red Car here and suffering in the 27F temperature. What is this, Mother Nature?
So the Big Red Car has been following the Hillary Clinton email scandal and has the answer to it all — it’s Ross Perot’s fault.
How so? Read on, beloved reader. Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Sticky and warm here in the ATX. Already in the low 70s and likely headed to needing A/C for the mugginess before the day is over. Bit cloudy.
So The Boss is talking to one of his politico pals and they get on the subject of the IRS. The Big Red Car eavesdrops. [Haha, the Big Red Car is worse than the damn NSA!]
Big Red Car here. Brrrr, it’s cold here in Austin. Not “Hell froze over cold”. Not even Chicago cold. But cold for us Texas hot house tomatoes.
It’s 35F but it feels like 30F. We are such weenies in Texas. [STFU, Big Red Car, no we are not.]
