A Critique

My classmate Julie Morales wrote on her blog of a few theories that could have gotten former FBI director Andrew McCabe fired on March 16, 2018. The blog is titled, “Was the underlining meaning of firing Andrew McCabe because President Trump didn’t get his way?” I know very little about this topic so I was interested to read about it. I want to include that this is a well thought out blog because the theories kept getting interesting but the only concern I have is that there are no sources included within it. The blog mentions 2 theories and connects them to Trump to answer the question posed in the title. Theories require sources in order to make people believe they are real, and if one or two sources were provided connecting your 2 theories with Trump, it would of been a stronger theory. I acknowledge your audience was not those that are unfamiliar with this topic, but even a little information about anything you’re talking about would help. For example, summarizing why you included certain tweets connecting Trump to the theory. I really do wish the theories would involve Trump’s side a little more as well, for example, explaining why Trump was so bothered with McCabe leading the Hillary and Russian investigations. A few sources there talking about how Trump felt about McCabe leading the investigations could help for a stronger theory. With all due respect this is just my opinion but otherwise these theories are really something to look into. Consider looking at the formulated opinions posted on national newspapers by the authors who work there.
