What is taking Sessions so long to fire McCabe?

[EE_]

Why all this drama? Is it because they have a real situation on their hands? Is McCabe threatening the FBI to rat them out if they take his pension? The problem is if they don't fire him the IG report coming out in a couple weeks could damn them for not firing him. If they do fire him and he repeals the decision, McCabe may start talking about the corruption in the FBI.

Sessions better quit shitting and get off the pot. Fire him and appoint a special counsel. The whole Republican party should be demanding a special counsel, why aren't they?

Now they have until Saturday to decide. Looks like the news cycle will hold us in suspense a day longer.

Because the Republican party is the Democratic party silly!

Hahahaha,


The Justice Department dealt a stunning blow to former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe on Friday night, firing him just days before he would have been eligible for a lifetime pension after determining that he lied to investigators reviewing the bureau’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server.

This may be our first real break. McCabe says he's innocent and a victim. He also was quoted saying that if he goes down he's taking everyone down with him...wait a minute, take everyone down for what? If he's innocent and knows about others at the FBI committed crimes, doesn't that lead to more questions.

If he's innocent he can repeal the decision in a federal court during the next year. They may ask him some very uncomfortable questions though.
If he doesn't repeal his case, what does that say?

The Democrats and their criminal partners are literally shitting themselves tonight!

I think McCabe is on suicide watch tonight.

CNN)After more than a year of investigations, accusations and taunting tweets from the President of the United States, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is breaking his silence.The most recent and serious charge he must now defend against: a career-ending claim that he directed FBI officials to talk to a reporter about an ongoing investigation and misled investigators about his actions.
"I absolutely never misled the inspector general in any way," McCabe said during an hour-long interview with CNN, calling his highly public downfall the result of "a series of attacks designed to undermine my credibility and my reputation" including by President Donald Trump.

Ex-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe fired (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/andrew-mccabe-fired/index.html)


After an FBI career spanning more than two decades and ascent to the No. 2 spot at the bureau, McCabe was fired Friday -- less than two days before his official retirement.
His troubles began during the 2016 presidential campaign, when a report surfaced that his wife accepted nearly $500,000 from the political action committee of then-Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton family ally, during a failed bid for state senate in 2015.
Though McCabe was not promoted to deputy director until months after his wife lost the race, he became a perennial political piñata for President Donald Trump on the campaign trail given that McCabe later oversaw the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information. As president, Trump has continued to hold McCabe up as Exhibit A of political favoritism infecting the FBI when he lashes out against the Russia investigation.

READ: Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's statement on his firing (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/mccabe-fired-statement-fbi-deputy-director/index.html)


In a blistering statement Friday night, McCabe said his firing is part of a larger effort to discredit the FBI and the special counsel's investigation.
"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."
Inspector general report


Yet it is McCabe's effort to push back on that narrative of bias in October 2016 that landed him in the crosshairs of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, whose office concluded that McCabe misled investigators about his decision to authorize FBI officials to speak with the media about his role in a separate, ongoing investigation tied to Clinton's family foundation, according to source briefed on it.
McCabe defends that move, telling CNN that he'd received word that Devlin Barrett, then a reporter at The Wall Street Journal, was going to write an article suggesting McCabe was slow-walking the bureau's investigation into the foundation. So, as one of the few top FBI officials with authority to share information with the media, McCabe said he asked other officials to speak with Barrett to "correct factually inaccurate things" and provide more context for issues that had already been reported publicly for months about the infighting between the Justice Department and FBI over the case.

Embattled FBI official Andrew McCabe could lose 'a lot of money' if fired before Sunday (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/andrew-mccabe-pension-if-fired/index.html)


"The story (Barrett) was proposing to go with was that I personally, and more importantly, the FBI, was subject to inappropriate influence," McCabe said. "And I thought that would be incredibly corrosive to our credibility both externally and internally ... To have my investigators in the field think that people at headquarters are making decisions with DOJ officials based on political leanings would be absolutely devastating."
The inspector general's office announced its wide-ranging inquiry into a number of actions taken by top officials at the FBI and Justice Department in advance of the 2016 election over a year ago but has not publicly released any findings and CNN has not reviewed the report on McCabe.
McCabe told CNN that in December, about a day or two after the press reported (https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/21/politics/andrew-mccabe-congress-testimony/index.html) that he had confirmed to lawmakers that his onetime boss, former FBI Director James Comey, had, in fact, informed him of a series of hotly contested conversations with the President last year, McCabe found out the inspector general's office had "changed their plans" and would likely issue a report focused exclusively on his actions.
When asked if he believed there was a correlation, or the inspector general was unduly influenced in some way, McCabe demurred, saying: "I don't know."
"I think every time it becomes clear that I will likely play a significant role in whatever comes of the special counsel's efforts, immediately after that I get targeted and attacked by the President and his Twitter account, and now the IG's approach to their own work changes immediately after my testimony gets leaked," he said.
Yet McCabe chalks up any claims that he was less than forthcoming with Justice Department investigators about The Wall Street Journal story as a misunderstanding.
"There have been times that I now know we came away from interactions with a different understanding as to what they had asked and what I had said," McCabe told CNN. "And in each one of those cases, I proactively reached back to the investigators to ensure that they understood completely my recollection of events."
'He brought up my wife every time'


McCabe also opened up about how the President appeared fixated on his wife's failed campaign, recalling at least four occasions in which Trump taunted him with it as a "mistake" or "problem" and calling her a "loser."
Trump raised the issue with Comey "out of the blue," according to McCabe, saying things "like, 'What's wrong with that deputy director of yours?' " insinuating that he was somehow politically motivated against the President, which, McCabe says is "absolutely not true."
"In May, when Director Comey was fired and I had my own interactions with the President, he brought up my wife every time I ever spoke to him," McCabe told CNN, emphasizing that he pushed back. "Of course, I disagreed with him. I don't see my wife's decision to try to enter public life to help her community (have) greater access to healthcare as a mistake or a problem."
McCabe, who said he always considered himself a Republican, also confirmed that the President asked him who he voted for the day after Trump fired Comey and McCabe stepped in as interim FBI director in May.

Sessions considering whether to fire McCabe (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/14/politics/mccabe-sessions/index.html)


"I didn't vote at all in 2016, and I explained to him that I did not vote in 2016 because the work that we were involved in had such political overtones that I felt it was prudent not to take a side in an election," McCabe said.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment on their interactions.
May proved to be a monumental month for McCabe as acting FBI director, trying -- as he explained it -- to take "affirmative steps" to ensure that the bureau's investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election was on "solid ground" while also briefing Congress and "working closely with the Deputy Attorney General (Rod Rosenstein) advocating for the appointment of the special counsel."
Trump did not, however, ask McCabe to drop the Russia investigation, McCabe told CNN. Though the President did berate him for the fact that Comey flew from California to Washington on an FBI plane after he was fired in May.
Indeed, throughout the past year, the President's ire at McCabe only grew -- with a barrage of tweets questioning why Attorney General Jeff Sessions hadn't fired him, later followed by a suggestion McCabe was "racing the clock to retire with full benefits."
Coming full circle


McCabe stepped down abruptly in January after he says FBI Director Christopher Wray approached him with concerns about what the inspector general had uncovered.
"(Wray) called me in on a Sunday night to tell me that he had been privy to information from the IG's investigation, and then based on that he was going to move me out of my position," McCabe said, explaining that he then decided to take a leave of absence.
Wray wouldn't tell him exactly what investigators found, but reflecting back now, McCabe surmised that if the approval of his outreach to The Wall Street Journal was the reason for his ouster, it would be somewhat hypocritical.
"In December, I had a ... long conversation with the editor of a major national newspaper at Chris Wray's request, and engaged with this editor in an effort to get them to back off a story that we thought would be harmful to our operational equities," McCabe said. "I was then removed from my position in January for having done the same thing in October 2016."

The mainstream media and anti-Trump liberals — which are increasingly hard to tell apart — have taken a clear stance on the firing of Andrew Mc*Cabe: It was done out of spite, and proves just how vindictive the president has become.

That’s the narrative being pushed hard by the news media, after the deputy director of the FBI was officially fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

At first glance, it’s easy to fall for that argument: McCabe was only a day away from retiring, which would have given him full federal benefits … at the taxpayer’s expense, of course.

Missing in the back-and-forth vitriol over McCabe’s firing, however, is an incredibly important detail that the media seems eager to ignore.
It turns out that Donald Trump didn’t randomly decide to show the deputy the director the door on a whim. In fact, it was the FBI itself which recommended that McCabe be terminated — and so did the inspector general of the U.S. Justice Department.
DAILY

Breaking news updates and daily headlines from a news source you can trust.

“(Attorney General) Sessions announced the decision in a statement just before 10 p.m.,” The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbis-andrew-mccabe-is-fired-a-little-more-than-24-hours-before-he-could-retire/2018/03/16/e055a22a-2895-11e8-bc72-077aa4dab9ef_story.html?utm_term=.43f7ab634712) reported, noting that both “the Justice Department inspector general and the FBI office that handles discipline had found ‘that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions.'”

In other words, officials would be derelict in their duty if they hadn’t let McCabe go, especially after he leaked information and spoke unprofessionally under oath.

The Post again confirmed that the FBI had recommended the firing after a DOJ probe found wrongdoing.

“His firing — which was recommended by the FBI office that handles discipline — stems from a Justice Department inspector general investigation that found McCabe authorized the disclosure of sensitive information to the media about a Clinton-related case, then misled investigators about his actions in the matter, people familiar with the matter have said,” the respected newspaper reported.
Was firing Andrew McCabe the right decision?

If you listen to the media and the left, the Trump administration was supposed to just ignore the fact that McCabe misled the Department of Justice, and turn a blind eye to a federal employee’s bad actions because he wanted a full retirement package.

Apparently, taking taxpayer money out of the pockets of Americans and spending it on the retirement of a man who two government agencies recommended be fired is completely fine, but following through on an internal investigation is somehow over the line.

It’s worth remembering, too, that the director of the FBI and other deputies like McCabe serve at the pleasure of the president.
Donald Trump had the constitutional power to fire the former deputy director for any reason or no reason at all; the fact that both the DOJ and the FBI both recommended that action is just icing on the cake.

RELATED: Uncovered Text Messages Between FBI Agents Show Appear To Show Collusion on Trump Admin Case
(https://conservativetribune.com/text-messages-fbi-agents-collusion/)
Since day one of his presidency, the media and Democrats have worked overtime to paint Trump as a conniving fool who is the nemesis of the FBI.

In reality, the facts consistently show that it was the FBI which was deeply biased and colluding to undermine the presidency, not the other way around.

At the end of the day, Andrew McCabe was an establishment player who had close connections to the Democrat machine. His own shady actions caused him to be fired, and in true leftist fashion, he’s now throwing a fit because he won’t be getting a free ride paid for by American citizens.

I feel sorry for him tho... Poor scab.

[Jerrylynnb]

Firing someone shorlty before they would be eligible for their pension is dirty pool, no matter what the politics nor accusations involved.

If this maneuver is considered legitimate by those Trump supporters IN THIS CASE, then, this maneuver will be engraved into our practices IN OTHER CASES, and, finally, IN ALL CASES, with power bouncing back and forth from one wing to another, and, NOBODY will avoid getting the same boot, "just before retirement".

Being an old goat myself (75), I recall seeing several of my lifelong co-workers (and good buddies) get that boot shortly before eligibility for retirement and so it naturally rubs me the wrong way, whatever you think about the personality involved. If a person truly is not worthy of his pension, then he needs to be fired LONG BEFORE he gets so close to being eligible, so that he can at least try to start a new pension plan while he still has his life ahead of him. A person after 50 has little chance to ever make up for such a spiteful, and heartless, stab in the back.

Anyone who condones this needs to consider how he would feel should his company, on the verge of his becoming eligible for a pension, were to hire someone to run the company that is directly opposed to your thinking and attitudes, and just kicks you out the door and robs you of your pension, claiming things about you that you cannot prove false nor have any defense against. By default, I am thankful that we have courts where persons so defrauded of their pension can petition for redress, and demand a JURY OF PEERS, to hear both sides and arrive at what they (the jury) think is fair and just (they will usually conclude that the victim deserves their pension PLUS damages for mental anguish).

Theft is wrong, no matter who the victim is nor what his politics is, nor what accusations are flung at him. And stealing a pension so close to maturity is nothing but theft under the guise of phony balony accustions in an underhanded maneuver to justify the unjustifiable.

This is NOT about this particular individual, but about a PRACTICE that cannot ever be considered legitimate, lest ALL of us fall victim to this same practice in our own time.

Firing someone shorlty before they would be eligible for their pension is dirty pool, no matter what the politics nor accusations involved.

If this maneuver is considered legitimate by those Trump supporters IN THIS CASE, then, this maneuver will be engraved into our practices IN OTHER CASES, and, finally, IN ALL CASES, with power bouncing back and forth from one wing to another, and, NOBODY will avoid getting the same boot, "just before retirement".

Being an old goat myself (75), I recall seeing several of my lifelong co-workers (and good buddies) get that boot shortly before eligibility for retirement and so it naturally rubs me the wrong way, whatever you think about the personality involved. If a person truly is not worthy of his pension, then he needs to be fired LONG BEFORE he gets so close to being eligible, so that he can at least try to start a new pension plan while he still has his life ahead of him. A person after 50 has little chance to ever make up for such a spiteful, and heartless, stab in the back.

Extenuating circumstances.

He's a seditious traitor who would be executed if the rule of law still prevailed.

Keep that in perspective. Its not politics, its criminal activity.

[Jerrylynnb]

If he is a seditious traitor, then arrest him, charge him, try him, and, if found guilty, sentence him. That has NOTHIGN to do with his pension, and, those who argue against this maneuver (like me) are NOT defending him or this particular case, JUST defending the sanctity of pensions and the fidelty of employers in the fulfillment of pension obligations. Allowing an employer to make exceptions in one case or another will end up where NOBODY will get a pension because any employer, wishing to avoid paying, can always dream up some extenuating circumtances, if that is all that is needed to avoid paying a pension. This HAS TO BE shot down, NOT in defense of this particular person, but in defense of pension plans everywhere, as a benefit earned by years of employment. Allowing this retiree to get his pension will NOT protect him from being prosecuted for any crimes he may have committed - on the contrary, it will make it easier for a conviction because any juror, deliberating his innocence, or guilt, would be swayed IN HIS FAVOR by what would smell like rotten apples (to a non-preducial juror) on the part of the prosecution, for having "pulled a fast one" to deny him the pension his employment over the years called for. If this is allowed to prevail, then pensioners everywhere are at risk of having some beauracrat make accusations against him just so they could stop paying his pension (citing THIS CASE as a precedent). Think ahead - all they way to the end. We MUST have pension plans (that are rock-solid) for employees or nobody will have any fidelty to any employer anywhere. It would devolve into a back-stabbing free-for-all and no nation can rise to greatness in that kind of a work environment.

Just so ya know, McCabe will still get his pension at age 57. He is 50 now.

Oh gosh he has to continue working until he can barely walk, poor sod. I heard there is a position open as a staffer at DNC, he would be Set there but not Rich.

[Neuro]

JerryLynnb, he was fired for professional misconduct, before the time limit for getting his pension. The sanctity of pensions isn’t threatened by this, at all. IMO it was obvious he should have been fired earlier...

[latemetal1]

One more reason to refuse a pension and get the money up front, can't tell you all the management stories about people people who were let go just prior to their pension kicking in.

[latemetal1]

It appears he will be "Temp" hired by a congressman for 2 or 3 days, just long enough to qualify...this should be fun. https://www.blacklistednews.com/article/64537/dem-offers-to-hire-mccabe-to-help-him-qualify-for-his.html

[Neuro]

The way to do it obviously is that you get back in pension what you payed in when working, with the return on the investment. Gold or silver (for spice) is an excellent investment vehicle for this purpose.

He doesn't have to keep working, his pension automatically kicks in at 57. Until then he will have to scrape by on his $11 million net worth.
That being said, I don't think this firing is going anywhere, it's just another scam being played on the public.

It's pretty obvious McCabe is working for the Democrats by the number of them that are offering him a government job for two days to qualify for his pension to start now.

We are being scammed every which way from Sunday.

Trump told everyone from the beginning, the whole system is rigged. No truer words were ever spoken.
