Andrew Mc Cabe was fired for lying! damn you cant tell the truth about anything.
You never bother to read anything but your imbecilic right wing propaganda sites.

McCabe was fired for violating FBI policies 2.5 (Lack of Candor -No Oath) and 2.6 (Lack of Candor-Oath). https://www.lawfareblog.com/document-doj-inspector-general-report-andrew-mccabe p. 1 of the Report

It's really getting tiresome refuting your constant, false claims that someone "lied".

I'd say that there are no longer checks and balances at that high level of power.

But that makes Progressives, who love the centralized control with impunity, cry cuz they like it that way.
It's funny; it has been right wingers arguing for decades for expanded powers for the President:

As Piper noted, of “37 major roll call [votes] concerning presidential powers of greatest long-term significance [from 1968-86] conservatives took the most pro-presidential power position… often (as on the item veto, impoundment, and war powers) contradicting conservative positions of the past.”

By the Reagan era, prominent right-wingers were calling for a repeal of the 22nd Amendment, and conservative conventional wisdom held that the real threat to separation of powers lay not in an Imperial Presidency, but in an Imperial Congress. And during the Clinton administration, then-Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Henry Hyde (R.-Ill.) led an unsuccessful effort to repeal the War Powers Act, with Gingrich urging House Republicans to "increase the power of President Clinton.... I want to strengthen the current Democratic president because he's the president of the United States." The bulk of the Republican delegation supported the bill, which failed to pass the House because of Democratic opposition and 44 Republican defections.

US Right wingers stopped being "conservatives" a long time ago.

"It's funny; it has been right wingers arguing for decades for expanded powers for the President:"

I am against it, and I am libertarian, although ppl in here label me right winger. Whatever.

We have a body called "Congress". They should be more involved in America's major decisions. I am no hypocrite as I have cited in here, that the Congress is more responsible for the chaos and mess at America's southern border than the President. It is up to Congress to get something done (IMO) and yet all the democrats do is criticize Trump.

Make sense?
