    CNN just reported that, similar to Rex Tillerson, McCabe found out he was fired by watching the news coverage of it.

    As some on who was laid off with an answering machine message, left behind while I was on my first vacation in over two years... finding out on the news, is a shit way to go.

    Perhaps not the time, but I wouldn't think that if the FBI suggested he be fired, that they would be miffed that he was fired 2 days before retirement.

    It’s just Trump leaking to Fox News, there is no conspiracy...

    I had heard a lot about Hannity and Trump talking a lot on the phone, and that while Hannity wasn't simply echoing Trump or "following orders", they agreed so completely on current events that watching Hannity was basically listening to how Trump felt.

    I thought it was interesting, but who knows.

    Well Donald Trump is fucking vindictive prick as well now.

    The guy was already leaving, and Trump the prick orchestrated to have him fired an hour before he left.

    This will have to be the way Donald Trump is treated now.... with ZERO mercy.

    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    Even if he leaked info to the press,firing him 2 days before his retirement date pretty much defines wrongful termination.

    Given all the public attacks Trump's made on him through tweets, it's not unreasonable to assume he'll be able to get it overturned.

    I was so hoping to see him hauled into a boardroom and let go in “your fired” style

    McCabe came out swinging in his statement. “The idea that I was dishonest is just wrong,” he said, adding, “This is part of an effort to discredit me as a witness.”

    Is there a process for overturning something like this?

    It was ultimately Sessions' call, though. Sarah Sanders deferred on this point.

    I wouldn't be so sure about that.

    Respect is still something people like, even when getting fired. How it happens is just as important as the act.

    Arpaio gets a pardon but McCabe gets denied a pension.

    You're never going to see that being Trump is the biggest pussy around.

    He's never really fired anyone like that, except on a reality show. He's always sent someone else to do the dirty work for him, because he's a cowardly bully.
