Sessions Fires McCabe

The Hill-

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday fired Andrew McCabe, the number-two official at the FBI and a longtime target of President Trump.

His ouster comes just days before he was scheduled to retire on Sunday, after more than 20 years at the bureau. McCabe had already stepped down under pressure in January and has been on a leave of absence since.

“Pursuant to Department Order 1202, and based on the report of the Inspector General, the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility, and the recommendation of the Department’s senior career official, I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately,” Sessions said in a statement Friday night.

The dismissal came at the recommendation of an internal FBI office that handles disciplinary matters. According to The New York Times, the recommendation was based on a finding from the Justice Department inspector general that McCabe was not forthcoming during the review, which includes an investigation into a decision he made in 2016 to allow FBI officials to speak with reporters about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

The exact details of the allegations against McCabe remain unclear.

  6. Im not that gleeful over him doing something so blatantly obvious that was required to be done. Firing should have been a given, but we were hanging on for dear life. This mofo needs to go to prison and maybe the electric chair. But for at least a little while longer we have to keep scratching our heads and holding our breath that Sessions is just playing coy. I dont like it. He better not be throwing us a bone to string us along. Fbi agents have been fired for cutting out of work early and drinking on duty. This rat is an enemy traitor.

  7. Sessions just saved his job … McCabe still retains his pension … it’s just not a FULL pension

    btw, you just know PDT was kicking Jeffie in his ass to get this done

  8. It’s important to remember, all these deep state ass holes were committing crimes left and right because they were convinced fat cankles would prevail and cover their shit up. Any commercial enterprise that received millions for his wifes political campaign would be in jail. This little worm gets what he deserves.

  10. Come on, Andy, ole boy! Sue for reinstatement, your pension. Go for it. The public wants to see the evidence.

    How about a jury trial…. open to the public? ….smile.. ..Lady in Red

  11. McCabe is blaming PDT for his firing but it his colleagues who found him guilty. BooHoo, he loses a pension he worked so hard for for 20 years. What a whiny baby.

    Thank you AG Sessions.

  13. As the joke goes “its a fine start”. Now Jeff, turn the spigot on the drain to Washington’s swamp of mire all the way open, and step back so the stench doesn’t gag you.

  17. SO….. I hope he takes his partial pension to the phookin gallows. I want to see these bastards hung!

  19. Next Brennan, Clapper, Rice, ???????? Lynch??? Obama??
    Reinstate General Michael Flynn and restore his honor.
    He had to sell his house because of legal fees. What a shame, after 33 years of service to the country as a soldier. The media don’t care about Flynn but they worry about McCabe losing his pension. Bullshit!

  31. EVERY DAY THAT I READ AN ARTICLE THAT REFERENCES “WEINER’S LAPTOP” IS A GREAT DAY AND MAKES ME LAUGH MY ASS OFF!! CLOWNS WITH NO TENT!!

    WELL, THE FOX ARTICLE DID AT LEAST..

  32. Being “fired” from the fbi is a huge blow to this dick. I want him in jail and the electric chair.

    But for now it means he loses his security clearance which he would have kept to use working in the private sector for a contractor. He loses his fbi credentials. He can not carry a firearm. If the piece of shit is a lawyer it may cost him his law license. He is going to have to rely on Coma and Muller to hook him up with charity. Lots of it because hes useless and is going to need huge cash for his lawyers.

    Best of all it is a devastating blow to his ego. Now hes a nobody.A skell. I hope he starts falling down soon, his shoes start falling off, he breaks his wrist, wears a Mcain boot, and starts having seizures.

  34. The leftie’s full statement on being fired:

    I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. I spent half of that time investigating Russian Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City. I have spent the second half of my career focusing on national security issues and protecting this country from terrorism. I served in some of the most challenging, demanding investigative and leadership roles in the FBI. And I was privileged to serve as Deputy Director during a particularly tough time.

    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. 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.

    The investigation by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) has to be understood in the context of the attacks on my credibility. The investigation flows from my attempt to explain the FBI’s involvement and my supervision of investigations involving Hillary Clinton. I was being portrayed in the media over and over as a political partisan, accused of closing down investigations under political pressure. The FBI was portrayed as caving under that pressure, and making decisions for political rather than law enforcement purposes. Nothing was further from the truth. In fact, this entire investigation stems from my efforts, fully authorized under FBI rules, to set the record straight on behalf of the Bureau, and to make clear that we were continuing an investigation that people in DOJ opposed.

    The OIG investigation has focused on information I chose to share with a reporter through my public affairs officer and a legal counselor. As Deputy Director, I was one of only a few people who had the authority to do that. It was not a secret, it took place over several days, and others, including the Director, were aware of the interaction with the reporter. It was the type of exchange with the media that the Deputy Director oversees several times per week. In fact, it was the same type of work that I continued to do under Director Wray, at his request. The investigation subsequently focused on who I talked to, when I talked to them, and so forth. During these inquiries, I answered questions truthfully and as accurately as I could amidst the chaos that surrounded me. And when I thought my answers were misunderstood, I contacted investigators to correct them.

    But looking at that in isolation completely misses the big picture. The big picture is a tale of what can happen when law enforcement is politicized, public servants are attacked, and people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions become instruments for damaging those institutions and people.

    Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey. The release of this report was accelerated only after my testimony to the House Intelligence Committee revealed that I would corroborate former Director Comey’s accounts of his discussions with the President. The OIG’s focus on me and this report became a part of an unprecedented effort by the Administration, driven by the President himself, to remove me from my position, destroy my reputation, and possibly strip me of a pension that I worked 21 years to earn. The accelerated release of the report, and the punitive actions taken in response, make sense only when viewed through this lens. Thursday’s comments from the White House are just the latest example of this.

    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. 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.

    I have always prided myself on serving my country with distinction and integrity, and I always encouraged those around me to do the same. Just ask them. To have my career end in this way, and to be accused of lacking candor when at worst I was distracted in the midst of chaotic events, is incredibly disappointing and unfair. But it will not erase the important work I was privileged to be a part of, the results of which will in the end be revealed for the country to see.

    I have unfailing faith in the men and women of the FBI and I am confident that their efforts to seek justice will not be deterred.

  37. Old Racist White Woman, that is toooo perfect. The damn fool is going for the bait! He thinks prog corruption is his “right.” Go boy! Sue!

    Trump has done a tremendous amount for the country in Year One. Year Two, I hope, begins the Drain of the Swamp….. ….many down the chute, fired, charged, fined, imprisoned…..

    As important, I hope the kids begin to see, understand, what America — beyond antifa — is all about. ….Lady in Red

  40. I was up to my ears in busy today, and didn’t look at the computer but for a few minutes today. I phoned my sister and she was doing the happy dance with her voice. She had the pleasure of telling me the news. We turned into giddy 11 and 14 year olds. We were so flippin happy. DH joined the revelry.

    Now that one big drain clog has been purged, maybe the swamp flow will speed up.

    I believe this is a direct result of my sending off a sternly worded email to Jeff Sessions. Looks like he got the message.

    We The People Demanded It! Jeff does have a pair.

  46. Good! Now maybe they’ll follow up with charges. We can only hope. 20 years, 30 years, 50 years of service CAN and SHOULD BE cancelled out by illegal, unethical and/or unprofessional behavior.

  47. The big picture is a tale of what can happen when law enforcement is politicized, public servants are attacked, and people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions become instruments for damaging those institutions and people.

    You don’t say.

    No matter how often it happens, I am always amazed at the degree of obliviousness and projection these dwellers reveal when they have a chance to speak.

  48. Do you suppose he’s getting fitted with a Freedom Boot right about now?

    The fact that he can’t carry a firearm any more is just the cherry on top. Sweet irony that the deep state that would gleefully disarm the law abiding public should be so publicly de-balled. Boom indeed!

    More winning please. I’m not tired of winning yet🙂
