The scapegoating of Andrew McCabe is appalling. Here’s Trump’s celebratory tweet on the subject.
That prompted this response from former CIA Director John Brennan, which Dutchgirl1146 posted earlier.
Then Trump attorney John Dowd chimed in and it is truly incredible. Dowd is not a lawyer, he’s a lackey. Daily Beast:
“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.
He told The Daily Beast he was speaking on behalf of the president, in his capacity as the president’s attorney.
Dowd also emailed the text below, which is an annotated version of a line from a well-known 20th century play:
“What's that smell in this room[Bureau}? Didn't you notice it, Brick [Jim]? Didn't you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room[Bureau}?... There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity[corruption]... You can smell it. It smells like death.” Tennessee Williams — ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’
Trump always talks about witch hunts and he should know, because that’s what he’s doing to McCabe. Trump is a dangerous demagogue. Firing McCabe is an action worthy of a banana republic and not America.

Talk about mendacity. Now Dowd is walking back his earlier claim that he was speaking in his capacity as Trump’s lawyer, according to Daily Beast. These people give new meaning to the words mendacious and incompetent.
