McCaffrey is a retired 4 star Army general.
If you don't know who he is, McCaffrey served as a senior White House appointee for five years. When he retired from the Army in 1996, he was the most decorated general officer serving at the time, with two Distinguished Service Crosses, two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts.
Trump's really dragging his feet on Russia. Mostly I think trump is an incompetent bungler with a well honed knack for baffling with bullshit. He's a great pitchman no doubt but I've not given him credit for being actively involved in a major criminal conspiracy. I'm beginning to re-think that. He's aggressively protective of Putin and even some right wingers are beginning to recognize.If Russia continues its cyber aggression, “you’ll see the president continue to take bold and swift action to make sure the United States won’t sit idly by," Spicer argued on "America's Newsroom."
“It certainly is one of the toughest things he’s done since he became president towards Russia, but picking up on what Sean Spicer just said, I’d push back and say it's neither bold nor swift," Wallace said after watching a clip of the former Trump spokesman's comments.
"The fact is that these were sanctions that were passed overwhelmingly, I think the vote was 98-2 in the Senate, last July and there was a lot of complaints from the Republicans as well as Democrats, 'Why hadn’t the President actually imposed these sanctions that have been authorized by Congress?'"
"He invoked some of them yesterday, but there are major sanctions that were still in his arsenal that were still approved by Congress to go after the defense industry and other industries in Russia that the president did not impose yesterday," the "Fox News Sunday" host continued. "So this was a middle step, stronger than what he’s done, but not nearly as far as he could have gone."
Subtle. Get McCabe one day, warn Rosenstein the next.President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, told The Daily Beast on Saturday morning that he hopes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will shut down the Mueller probe.
Reached for comment by email about the firing of former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, sent The Daily Beast the text of Trump’s most recent tweet on the subject, which applauded the firing. Then he wrote that Rosenstein should follow Sessions' lead
“I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,” Dowd then wrote.

The crazy thing is if Comey and McCabe didn't release the unprecedented letter against Clinton, they probably still have their jobs and pensions. Trump always burns you, no matter what.
