FOX: The Department of Justice’s inspector general released an explosive report Friday that led to the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for his leaks to the media ahead of the 2016 election.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, appointed to the post by President Obama, had been reviewing the FBI and DOJ’s actions leading up to the 2016 election. On Friday, the IG published a separate report on McCabe’s actions related to leaks about the FBI’s probe into the Clinton Foundation, which said that McCabe misled investigators about leaks and did so in a way that did not fall under a “public interest” exemption.
“[W]e concluded that McCabe’s decision to confirm the existence of the CF Investigation through an anonymously sourced quote, recounting the content of a phone call with a senior Department official in a manner designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of Department leadership, was clearly not within the public interest exception,” the report says.
McCabe was fired last month by Attorney General Jeff Sessions just days before he would have been eligible for a lifetime pension after it was determined that he misled investigators reviewing the bureau’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server.
Sessions said that McCabe “made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor − including under oath − on multiple occasions.”
The report on McCabe found that McCabe authorized a leak to a Wall Street Journal reporter about the contents of a telephone call in August 2016. read more
Um, is “lacked candor − including under oath” a polite way of saying “perjured himself”?
Just asking.
So… Why the fuck isn’t this asshole getting prosecuted like Mike Flynn was, given en that his crimes are much worse… Same goes for that pompous cocksucker Comey. JFC… Any politician who claims we have equality under the law here in the US needs to have a steel toe boot thrown at his goddamn head.
McCabe us a liar who was promoted and rewarded for being a liar. Tells you the values of those in the FBI and DOJ.
Birds of a feather. Comey is no different. Mueller the same. Rosenstein must be one of them.
Both need a clean re-boot.
Has anyone tweeted the question to D reps Moulton and Raskin if they still want to hire McCabe to protect his pension?
And I still do not understand why McCabe is not being charged and prosecuted for crimes he committed while at the FBI. In the private sector, if you steal money or info or damage your employer, it doesn’t matter if you still work for them or not. Why the difference with the gov’t? He should spend some time in jail for these things.
That’s a start, now release the full report.
Let’s feel sorry for traitor McCabe.
He’s just an unprosecuted criminal who’s had his pension delayed.
AAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW
He didn’t mean it
He only wanted to be sure Hillary didn’t fire him.
@Abigail- Martha Stewart was CONVICTED for lying to the FBI. Flynn has pleaded guilty to one count of it. Manafort was indicted for it. McCabe does it repeatedly (as did Comey) and gets to walk away with a pension and as a left wing hero.
I’m thru the looking glass for sure.
Cashier most of the upper management and fast track a new one in the entire DOJ
Hell put Chris Christy as AG and point him at the Deep State and say:
“It’s time to sprinkle some shit in Charlie’s Rice”
(HT: Siege of Firebase Gloria)
Apparently the AG does not believe the prosecution of wrongdoers has anything to do with his office at all. If you had any balls he prosecuted somebody many felons you can choose from.
We’d better see some prosecutions, and soon or POTUS Trump and his appointed AG will become an epic failure Albatross around our necks come this mid-term. This two-tier justice system has got to be eliminated!! Just the fact that it exists at all is proof of total govt corruption.

> Cashier most of the upper management and fast track a new one in the entire DOJ
Because middle management just snuck in, and started collecting checks and pensions, with nobody in upper management knowing who they were? Because the HR dumping ground has only been hiring new recruits that are so honest, HR knew they, themselves, would be fired if upper management ever found out?
