FBI's Andrew McCabe Fired, DOJ Releases Statement

Trump calls fired McCabe ‘choirboy’, suggests FBI corruption ‘at the highest levels’

FBI's Andrew McCabe fired, DOJ releases statement

FBI's Andrew McCabe has been fired days before his retirement. Alan Dershowitz reacts on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

President Trump called Andrew McCabe a 'choirboy' as he lauded the former acting FBI Director's firing,

suggesting multiple federal reports show “corruption at the highest level.”

“Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!” Trump tweeted hours after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the dismissal.

McCabe was fired just days before he would have been eligible for a lifetime pension after it was determined that he lied to investigators reviewing the bureau’s probe of Hillarious Clinton’s email server.

"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. "I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately."

"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 also said.

"I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately."

"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.

"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. ... The President’s tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all."

- Andrew McCabe

"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."

"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. ... The President’s tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all."

McCabe's firing marked a stunning fall for a man who was No. 2 at the bureau for a time under former FBI Director James Comey, ran it and even was reportedly on Trump’s short list for the directorship.

But McCabe has also been mired in controversy in recent years.

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 was “removed” from his post as deputy to FBI Director Christopher Wray in January, setting in motion a plan to leave the bureau after months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans — including President Trump.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Thursday that the decision was entirely up to Sessions, but that McCabe was a "bad actor." 

"That's a determination we

up to Attorney General Sessions, but we do think that it is well documented that he has had some very troubling behavior and has been a bad actor," Sanders said.

 “FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!” Trump tweeted in December, before McCabe’s removal.

McCabe became acting director of the FBI after Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017. McCabe 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.

Republicans have also long criticized McCabe for his ties to the Democratic Party

— his wife received donations during a failed 2015 Virginia Senate run from a group tied to a Clinton ally, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe — all while the Clinton email probe was underway.

“How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillarious Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?” the president tweeted in December.

The president was “not a part of the decision making process,” when McCabe was removed from the bureau in January, press secretary Sanders said.

McCabe returned to the white-hot spotlight when Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released its memo on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses in connection with the Russia probe, saying that McCabe signed a FISA warrant targeting former Trump campaign volunteer adviser Carter Page.

“McCabe testified before the committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the [FISA court] without the Steele dossier information,” the memo read. The Steele dossier was unverified, and financed as opposition research by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign.

And 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 former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, spouse of Hillarious Clinton aide Huma Abedin. 

“Got called up to Andy’s earlier … hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner’s atty to sdny, includes a ton of material from spouse. Sending team up tomorrow to review…this will never end …” Strzok wrote in a text message to Page.

But it wasn’t until Oct. 27, 2016 that 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,

:bravo::lmao: in which Clinton lost to Trump.:lmao::bravo:

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, and a “secret society” within the bureau.

Former Obama officials warn of danger and destruction after Andrew McCabe is fired

This story was updated at 1:05 p.m.

Top officials from the Obama administration condemned President Trump for the abrupt firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Less than 48 hours before McCabe, a 21-year veteran of the bureau, was set to formally retire and collect a full pension, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that he had been terminated.

 

Eric Holder, who served as former President Barack Obama's attorney general, called his ouster "dangerous."

"Analyze McCabe firing on two levels: the substance and the timing," Holder tweeted. "We don’t know enough about the substance yet. The timing appears cruel and a cave that compromised DOJ independence to please an increasingly erratic President who should’ve played no role here. This is dangerous."

 

Former CIA Director John Brennan warned Trump could be taking the U.S. on a path towards destruction, but claimed "America will triumph over you."

 

Trump, who along with Republican allies previously accused McCabe of bias, celebrated his removal as "great day for democracy."

 
Former Obama senior adviser David Axelrod responded to Trump's tweet, calling it a "flagrant victory dance from the man who ordered the hit."
 
Also reacting to Trump's tweet was Ben Rhodes, who served as Obama's deputy national security adviser. He chided Trump's "strategy" as perhaps not the best approach to governing or the Russia investigation.
 
McCabe has rejected reports from the FBI's Office of Personal Responsibility and Office of Inspector General, which concluded he made unauthorized leaks and made disingenuous statements under oath. In a statement late Friday that there has been an effort to "slander" him and accused the push to remove him as being part of the Trump administration's "ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation," which is looking at whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.

The rat tweets didn't copy paste so I recommend You take the opportunity to read them. These contesting tweet rats are next? Hope so. Maybe Hilly and Billy, Barry and Scary, and the other miscreants in the government apparatus will show themselves as well as being the "deplorables" they really are.

 

Eric Holder: 'Dangerous,' 'Cruel' to Fire McCabe

Former Attorney General Eric Holder blasted the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, calling the move "dangerous" and "cruel," The Hill reported Saturday.

"Analyze McCabe firing on two levels: the substance and the timing. We don't know enough about the substance yet. The timing appears cruel and a cave that compromised DOJ independence to please an increasingly erratic President who should've played no role here. This is dangerous," Holder tweeted early Saturday morning just hours after McCabe's firing was announced.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe late Friday evening, releasing a statement that cited his "unauthorized disclosure to the news media" and stated he lacked "candor" with Justice Department investigators. The move took place two days before McCabe was scheduled to begin his retirement on Sunday and puts his pension at risk.

McCabe quickly responded to the announcement of his firing, claiming in a statement released Friday night that it was an attempt to undermine the Russia probe being conducted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller. McCabe had stepped down from his post earlier this year and was on leave before his retirement was scheduled to begin.

President Donald Trump reacted to the firing on Friday, tweeting it was "a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI – A great day for Democracy."

We'll see a report coming out in April that will clearly illustrate the corruption at the top of the FBI during the Obama Years........These guys should be more worried about staying out of prison than losing a pension. If you break the law, even if you are supposedly the law.........the rules apply.........CL

Besides - this weasel has already turned on Comey and is beginning to feed on his own kind.

 

Look at his self-righteous meanderings with every lame shout-out....

 

He's either incredibly stupid in trying to cover his own azz,

or INTENTIONALLY throwing the rest of his vile fellow colluders under the bus whilst he's being taken down !

 

Based on his public statements since being fired ===> he just put Comey in Federal Prison for YEARS !

 

Rat.   Vermin.   Filth.   Traitor.   Human garbage !!  :angry:
