OMG! ... McCabe FIRED !!!!!!!!!!

[dukkha]

Sessions’ decision to fire McCabe came as Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded a bureau oversight investigation, with a report expected to be critical of McCabe’s handling of the Clinton email probe, his handling of the bureau during the early months of the Russia investigation, and his ties to the Democratic Party.

Horowitz determined that McCabe hadn't been forthcoming in regard to the handling of the FBI’s probe into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state in the Obama administration.

The inspector general’s finding sparked an FBI disciplinary process that recommended McCabe’s firing.

Sources told Fox News that the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility made the recommendation to fire McCabe. Sessions had the option to either accept the recommendation, or step in to stop the firing process.

Horowitz’s investigation, which landed McCabe in hot water, faults the former deputy director for the way he answered questions about his approval for interactions between an FBI official and a reporter about the bureau’s investigation into the nonprofit Clinton Foundation.


McCabe became acting director of the FBI after Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017. He led the bureau, independently, until Aug. 2, 2017 — during the early months of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates.

recently uncovered text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page revealed a new timeline in the Clinton email probe, apparently showing McCabe’s knowledge of the investigation.

The text messages suggest that as of Sept. 28, 2016, Strzok, Page and McCabe were aware of new Clinton emails found on the laptop of disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner, spouse of Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin.


But it wasn’t until Oct. 27, 2016 that FBI Director Comey was briefed on the newly discovered emails — meaning McCabe kept the director in the dark for a month.

Horowitz is specifically investigating McCabe and whether he wanted to avoid taking action on the laptop findings until after the presidential election, in which Clinton lost to Trump.

According to testimony obtained by Fox News from an Office of Special Counsel interview with former Comey Chief of Staff James Rybicki, McCabe’s office did not notify him until the night of Oct. 26, 2016.

The OSC also interviewed FBI Deputy General Counsel Trisha Anderson, who testified that Comey was first briefed on the material found on Weiner’s laptop on Oct. 27, 2016.

Anderson noted that the director’s office decided to “urgently” address the situation.

“Given the significance of the matter, um, uh, that we had to proceed quickly,” Anderson told investigators. “It was just too, too explosive for us to sit on.”

So it wasn’t until Oct. 28, 2016, that Comey sent a letter to Congress announcing the “recent developments” of the discovery of the Clinton and Abedin communications found on the laptop —which he had just been briefed on a day before. That letter reopened the Clinton email probe just a week before the election. The inspector general is investigating McCabe’s involvement in this timeline.

Several Republicans also have pointed with alarm to the Strzok-Page texts and their references to McCabe in relation to an “insurance policy” to prevent Trump from being elected president

On to the other swamp denizens..........getting to the bottom of Strzok and Contreras and his self-recusal after the Flynn miscarriage of justice!

the Contrera thing is a bleed over into the MUeller investigation..Also we got Brennan who leaked the Steele dossier to CNN ( which gave it legs, and started all the investigations)

But now they are saying the IG report may be delayed further, if criminal prosecutions are leveled at McCabe etc.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.

"After an extensive and fair investigation and according to Department of Justice procedure, the Department’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) provided its report on allegations of misconduct by Andrew McCabe to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR)," Sessions said.

"The FBI’s OPR then reviewed the report and underlying documents and issued a disciplinary proposal recommending the dismissal of Mr. McCabe. Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor − including under oath − on multiple occasions.

The FBI expects every employee to adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability. As the OPR proposal stated, 'all FBI employees know that lacking candor under oath results in dismissal and that our integrity is our brand.'"

McCabe hit back in a fiery response of his own.

"This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally," McCabe said. "It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel’s work."

For the last year and a half, my family and I have been the targets of an unrelenting assault on our reputation and my service to this country," McCabe continued. "Articles too numerous to count have leveled every sort of false, defamatory and degrading allegation against us. The President’s tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all. He called for my firing. He called for me to be stripped of my pension after more than 20 years of service. And all along we have said nothing, never wanting to distract from the mission of the FBI by addressing the lies told and repeated about us. No more."

Mccabe will be a witness in Trumps investigation. That should go well. He was involved in the Russian investigation. Wonder what he knows.

[Stretch]

What a nasty thing to do to a guy who spent 20 years in the FBI fighting for us. He was a big in the Boston Marathon bombing. He started off working SWAT. So ypu guys are happy that Trump took away his pension. I see why you jerks are Republicans. McCabe spent years working in counter terrorism. yeah fuck him over because Forest Trump does not like him. You guys are as cruel as Trump.

Nobody took away his pension. He'll get it (a little less than full amount) when he turns 57 instead of 50. He can go get some part-time job for a few years to tide him over.

best news of the week. I really do hate all those bastards.

[countryboy]

Another swamp creature bites the dust. They are not only talking about him losing his pension......but undergoing a criminal investigation.

As another swamp creature once stated, "Elections have consequences." These idiots....who left a paper trail that Ray Charles could follow, simply bet their careers and perhaps their freedom on the WRONG HORSE. They were so assured that Trump would never win....and if he did, he would not last a year....as they never dreamed the very RHINOs that attempted to sink Trump would carry both houses of congress on the long shots coat tails....that sealed their fate. They were depending upon a democrat controlled congress to impeach Trump if the impossible happened and he won....ANDY had the fix in with the fake Steele Dossier and the inside pull with members of the FISA COURT. This is only the tip of the iceberg. More heads will soon roll.....the next most likely will be the stupid ass best of the best......with a head so big it would not fit in a water bucket.....Strzok.

I hope he sues to get his pension and all legal fees.

And I hope this causes the FBI to go after Trump even harder and dig even deeper to put that vile loathsome turd into the hole he belongs in, then cover him up with dirt.

Fuck these right-wing maggots who are cackling like hyenas over it, too.
