McCabe had appeared earlier in the week before the Senate Judiciary Committee , which is investigating how the FBI first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the potential ties to Trump .
As The Independent reported , he testified that the agency had a “ duty ” to follow through with the investigation given what they had found .

inquisitr--2020-11-14--Mike Pence Says ‘The Plan’ Is Four More Years Of Donald Trump

Mike Pence gave a speech to the Council for National Policy on Friday and suggested the White House is planning for another Donald Trump administration .

As noted by Forbes , Pence ’ s comments on another Trump term echo Secretary of State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s projected win during a Tuesday briefing .
“ There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration , ” Pompeo said .
Pence also used his Friday speech to note that Trump gained more votes than any Republican presidential candidate in American history and more support from minority demographics than any GOP candidate in 60 years .
“ Our party is growing , and under President Trump ’ s leadership , it ’ s growing more broadly every day , ” the vice president said .

“The left behind, the working class, the middle class — they want jobs, they want safe neighborhoods.”

Nevertheless, she accused the U.S. leader of failing to back up his rhetoric with action and suggested that Trumpism “hasn’t been tried” and “certainly hasn’t triumphed.”
“So, I think the Republicans’ position [in the next four years] has to be: This is the new Republican Party. It will be Trumpism, but we’re getting rid of the eight-year-old.”

Still , Haque is not alone in his belief that Trump is failing to handle coronavirus effectively .
As The Inquisitr reported , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refused to work with Biden ’ s transition team , which has experts worried that the nation ’ s pandemic response is being hindered and the subsequent administration will enter the White House facing setbacks .
Instead of focusing on COVID-19 , Trump has allegedly been focusing the majority of his energy on his strategy to contest the results of the 2020 election .

Others on social media appeared to agree that Trump should resign from his position.
170,000 new cases, numbers rising each day. I'm beyond grateful that a new, competent and caring Administration will take office January 20 so this pandemic can at last be brought under control. Trump and Pence should resign their offices now.
And both be sent to The Hague. — Mikko Alanne (@MikkoAlanne) November 14, 2020
Donald Trump could save so many lives if he would just resign today. And he'd own all the libs who were afraid that he was going to try to turn himself into an Orban-style dictator. Really a win-win. — Matt O'Brien (@ObsoleteDogma) November 14, 2020
The only thing I want to hear from Trump is: I RESIGN effective immediately! — (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) November 13, 2020
In an op-ed for The Hill, Brent Budowsky suggested that a Trump resignation is still on the table. In particular, he predicted that Trump would resign so that Mike Pence could offer him a pardon to absolve him of any federal crimes he faces after leaving office. Although Budowsky noted the real estate mogul would still face state investigations, he opined that such cases would be more manageable without any federal charges looming behind them.
Still, Haque is not alone in his belief that Trump is failing to handle coronavirus effectively. As The Inquisitr reported, the head of state has thus far refused to work with Biden’s transition team, which has experts worried that the nation’s pandemic response is being hindered and the subsequent administration will enter the White House facing setbacks. Instead of focusing on COVID-19, Trump has allegedly been focusing the majority of his energy on his strategy to contest the results of the 2020 election.
As reported by The New York Times, Biden released a statement on Friday in which he pressured Trump to focus on tackling the pandemic, which is killing over 1,000 Americans and hospitalizing 70,000 each day.
“I will not be president until next year. The crisis does not respect dates on the calendar, it is accelerating right now. Urgent action is needed today, now, by the current administration — starting with an acknowledgment of how serious the current situation is.”
The statement was released less than one hour before Trump addressed the forthcoming Pfizer vaccine that is expected to be 90 percent effective. However, the commander in chief did not announce any new measures to control the pandemic, which he only briefly acknowledged.
Over 244,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus to date, and the country continues to break one-day infection records as cases and deaths remain on an upward trajectory. Per Voice of America, Trump is not planning to implement any lockdown procedures. Conversely, Biden has not yet committed to ordering a nationwide lockdown to control the spread of the virus.

Conservative Bill Kristol Slams Trump Adviser Who Urged People To Rise Up: ‘What The Hell Does This Mean?’

Conservative writer Bill Kristol is slamming an adviser to Donald Trump who made a controversial call for people in Michigan to “ rise up ” against newly announced restrictions meant to slow the spread of coronavirus .
White House coronavirus task force member Scott Atlas spoke out against the new restrictions in a tweet late on Sunday , calling for resistance to the measures .
“ The only way this stops is if people rise up , ” he tweeted in response to a post outlining the new rules going into place in the state .
“ You get what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The message did not sit well with Kristol , who said that the tweet appeared to be a call for violent resistance .
“ What the hell does this mean ?
” Kristol tweeted .
“ Sounds like a White House adviser inciting violence .
Sounds like a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University inciting violence.
” To many , the message from Atlas appeared to be especially inflammatory given the alleged domestic terrorist plot against Michigan Gov .
Gretchen Whitmer by militia groups in that state .
Many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against measures put in place by Whitmer , who has been a popular target of attacks from Trump .
Many joined Kristol in sharply criticizing the comments from Atlas .
Whitmer herself spoke out on CNN , saying that she is used to the White House targeting the state , and her in particular .
The governor said she would not be cowed by what many saw as a call for civil disobedience .
“ I ’ m not going to be bullied into not following reputable scientists and medical professionals , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who has reportedly pushed a “ herd immunity ” approach to the pandemic that public health experts have slammed as ineffective and irresponsible .
Atlas responded to the criticism in the hours after he first sent the tweet , posting another comment saying that he was not calling for violence but instead suggesting people vote or peacefully protest .
Some responded that it did not seem logical to advise residents to vote in response to the new measures given that there was just an election and not any more voting for a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rising infection numbers across the country .
Public health experts had warned that coronavirus cases would likely surge in the fall and winter months as social distancing became more difficult and schools re-opened .
Some other states have already tightened restrictions in response to rising positivity rates .

Donald Trump Slams Media, Vows To Show ‘How Badly Shattered And Violated Our Great Constitution Has Been’

In a series of Twitter messages posted on Sunday , President Donald Trump railed against members of the press , disputing the results of the 2020 presidential election .
Trump began by slamming the media for declaring his opponent , Democrat Joe Biden , the winner and claimed that the United States Constitution was violated during the presidential race .
“ It was attacked , perhaps like never before !
” Trump continued , alleging that poll watchers across the nation were not allowed to count the votes and claiming that “ millions of ballots that have been altered by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commander-in-chief also took aim at Dominion Voting Systems , a voting technology company , stating that its products were “ turned down ” by states such as Texas because they are “ not secure.

Trump began by slamming the media for declaring his opponent, Democrat Joe Biden, the winner and claimed that the United States Constitution was violated during the presidential race.
“Why does the Fake News Media continuously assume that Joe Biden will ascend to the Presidency, not even allowing our side to show, which we are just getting ready to do, how badly shattered and violated our great Constitution has been in the 2020 Election.”
“It was attacked, perhaps like never before!” Trump continued, alleging that poll watchers across the nation were not allowed to count the votes and claiming that “millions of ballots that have been altered by Democrats, only for Democrats.”
The commander-in-chief also took aim at Dominion Voting Systems, a voting technology company, stating that its products were “turned down” by states such as Texas because they are “not secure.”
Trump added that “those responsible for the safeguarding of our Constitution cannot allow the Fake results of the 2020 Mail-In Election to stand.”
“The World is watching!” he concluded.
Trump has previously made similar claims, but evidence that would support them has yet to emerge. In fact, as Time magazine reported, Trump’s own government has rejected these allegations.

During an appearance on CNN’s Reliable Sources, which is hosted by Brian Stelter, Bernstein revealed that he has often spoken to upper chamber Republicans and members of their staff.
“Perhaps half of the Republican members of the Senate despise and disdain Donald Trump. They were happy to see him lose as long as they could hold on to a Senate majority.”
Still, he pointed out, these lawmakers publicly endorsed Trump’s claims of voter fraud and expressed support for his refusal to concede the election.
By doing so, Bernstein argued, they participated in a “disinformation campaign,” misleading voters about the 2020 presidential election. He then suggested that journalists should reveal the names of these senators so that the public knows what they really stand for.

Republicans have a good chance of keeping their majority in the upper chamber, but it remains unclear if they will be able to do so.

The post attracted some viral attention, with more than 80,000 likes and a number of comments sharing the opinion of the futility of Trump’s insistence that he can still win the presidential race.
The famed British actor and comedian has taken on Trump in the past, criticizing the American president and at times making fun of his misfortune. Back in October, he took to social media to revel in the news that Trump had tested positive for COVID-19, writing a long series of insults about the commander-in-chief.
“A doctor friend of mine tells me that Covid19 symptoms include delusions of grandeur, compulsive attention-seeking, extreme narcissism..inability to tell fantasy from reality, obsessional thoughts about money, obesity, coarse behaviour, unpredictable outbursts of anger, inflated ego, wandering hands, short attention span, abusive language, compulsive lying, contempt for democracy, and cheating at golf,” he tweeted.
Trump has come under fire for his continued claims of election fraud and insistence that it will be shown he really won the race once all the legal votes were counted. Many have called on him to give up the court battles and accept Biden as president. As The Inquisitr reported, Biden’s former Democratic opponent Bernie Sanders said that it is time for the president to “man up” and congratulate the Democratic candidate and acknowledge him as the winner of the race. In an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Sanders said that Trump’s refusal to admit defeat and allow for the peaceful transition of power is “undermining American democracy.”

“But Alex, if Donald Trump announces or intends to play in 2024, he will break the back of the Republican Party,” Jolly said.
“And I would say welcome to a viable third party political movement because either the Democrats will expand their coalition or you will see a third party emerge if Donald Trump tries to keep control through 2024.”
As The Inquisitr reported, the president is allegedly planning to announce a 2024 run after delaying the certification of the election results as long as possible. CNN’s Chris Cillizza also argued that Trump is the clear Republican presidential front runner for the 2024 nomination. The commentator claimed that the commander in chief is the sole face of the party at the moment and wields a significant degree of influence over the organization.
According to Jolly, a Trump 2024 run will likely push some Republicans to look for an exit from the current GOP. In particular, he said that “leading republicans” like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will begin to push for “passing the torch” in a gentle manner around 2022 when they are in the middle of their respective election cycles.
“They will do so gently, but leading Republicans with their eyes on their future, know that they have to get out from underneath Donald Trump.”

“One of several nonprofits Joe Biden created following his tenure in the White House, the Biden Cancer Initiative paid top executives lavishly, with salaries comprising nearly 65 percent of its total expenditures.
