Remember "Decimation"? Meet Mr. McCabe

The original meaning of the term 'decimation' is no longer current, but Jeff Sessions just used the technique on Mr. McCabe.

Another pundit alludes to it here:

This decision will encourage agents to trust coming forward. Others who had during the clique's time in charge got buried and mistreated and it kept agents from coming forward.  --Housely, quoted at Thinker  (N.B.:  Housely thinks that the firing has nothing to do with Presidential politics.)

Experienced parents also use the technique, as do experience schoolteachers.  Just as in the McCabe case, it no longer requires murder........even if you think it's justified.
