Chris Matthews Says Trump’s ‘Purging’ Everybody from Russia Probe: ‘Slow Motion Saturday Night Massacre’ (Mediaite)
Following a day of news that included Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe stepping down from his post and the House Intelligence Committee voting to release the Nunes memo, Hardball’s Chris Matthews expressed his belief that we are now witnessing a purge when it comes to the Russia investigation.
“It looks to me like a purge,” Matthews said to Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX). “Today McCabe gets pushed out as deputy of the FBI and now the president’s on the warpath after — thanks to Chairman Nunes of your committee to dig up evidence enough to support getting rid of Rod Rosenstein, the deputy head of the Justice Department. Why is he purging everybody that’s involved with investigating him and the Russian probe?”
