https://www.mediaite.com/tv/nicolle-wallace-slams-trump-for-considering-ousting-mccabe-is-the-president-this-much-of-a-bleep-hole/When discussing the political pressure President Donald Trump may be putting on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to fire Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe just days shy of his resignation, Wallace said: I dont know how to ask this without swearing so Im gonna ask you as best I can Is the president this much of a bleep-hole?
There are grounds to fire McCabe, who has long been a subject of the presidents scrutiny, before he retires on Sunday. The FBIs Office of Professional Responsibility about his choice to let FBI officials speak about their probe into the Clinton Foundation. Doing so, however, would jeopardize his pension, and McCabe has been with the FBI for 21 years.

But Wallace questioned the timing of the report, hence the bleep-hole question.
Conservative commentator Charlie Sykes gave Wallace a clear answer: Well, I think its been established [that Trump is a bleep-hole]. I dont know [if] thats breaking news.

Wallace has the typical corrupt conservative talking-head attitude toward these crimes.
Comey's enormous misuse of power turned this nation over to the Republicans and their dark-money masters. Her characterization of that whenever the subject came up was a cheery "Oh, was Comey meeean to Hillary? (laugh)." She obviously thought that way of dismissing this betrayal of our nation was effective because I saw her repeat the same line 3 or 4 different times, and I wasn't watching most of the time.

She still thinks like a republican.
