Attorney General Jeff Sessions late Friday night fired former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a little more than 24 hours before McCabe was set to retire.

Sessions announced the decision in a statement just before 10 p.m., 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.”

He said based on those findings and the recommendation of the department’s senior career official, “I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately.”


The move will likely cost McCabe a significant portion of his retirement benefits, though it is possible he could bring a legal challenge. McCabe has been fighting vigorously to keep his job, and on Thursday, he spent nearly four hours inside the Justice Department pleading his case.

McCabe has become a lightning rod in the political battles over the FBI’s most high-profile cases, including the Russia investigation and the probe of Hillary Clinton’s email practices. He has been a frequent target of criticism from President Trump.

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. He stepped down earlier this year from the No. 2 job in the bureau after FBI Director Christopher A. Wray was briefed on the inspector general’s findings, though he technically was still an employee.


McCabe disputes that he misled anyone.

Some in the bureau might view McCabe’s termination so close to retirement as an unnecessarily harsh and politically influenced punishment for a man who spent more than 20 years at the FBI. The White House had seemed to support such an outcome, though a spokeswoman said the decision was up to Sessions.

“We do think that it is well documented that he has had some very troubling behavior and by most accounts a bad actor,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday.

Trump and McCabe’s relationship has long been fraught. The president has previously suggested that McCabe was biased in favor of Clinton, his political opponent, pointing out that McCabe’s wife, who ran as a Democrat for a seat in the Virginia legislature, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from the political action committee of Terry McAuliffe, then the state’s governor and a noted Clinton ally. During an Oval office meeting in May, Trump is said to have asked McCabe whom he voted for in the presidential election and vented about the donations.

Now, let's see how long it takes to arrest him and get him to GITMO.
Yes. I was reading about him.
He deserved to be Fired.
I think he was one of the other Leakers of Presidents Trump Private Statements, Him and Bannon.

Great news!
From The Washington Free Beacon:

Quote:'FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe is set to receive a nearly $2 million pension, according to a Washington
Free Beacon analysis...'

He can kiss that goodbye!

Quote:'...McCabe joined the FBI in 1996 and worked his way up to high paying executive service positions.
He was serving as the assistant director in charge of the Washington, D.C., field office until July 2015, when he
was named the FBI's associate deputy director, carrying an ES Level 4 pay scale.

The Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) calls for law enforcement officers to receive 1.7 percent of
the officer's average highest salary over a period of three consecutive years per year for the agent's first 20 years
of service.

Additionally, they receive 1 percent of the highest average salary for each year exceeding 20 years of service.
McCabe served 21 years.

At executive and senior pay levels, McCabe's average highest salary is estimated at $157,800, taken from his various
roles at the FBI between 2015 and 2017. The estimate is based on executive service pay levels compiled by FederalPay,
a public resource that uses data from the General Services Administration and the Office of Personnel Management.

In 2015, McCabe received roughly $151,200, after reaching the higher ES Level 4 salary in July after being named
associate deputy director.
McCabe received $160,300 in 2016, after James Comey appointed him deputy director.
In 2017, remaining in an ES Level 4 position, he received $161,900.

By multiplying McCabe's highest average salary of $157,800 by 1.7 percent, for each of his first 20 years of service,
he receives an annual $53,652 pension.
He receives an additional 1 percent for one year of service, having served since 1996.
This gives McCabe an additional $1,578, giving him an annual pension of $55,230.

The Office of Personnel Management has set the average life span of law enforcement officers at nearly 83 years.
The lifetime value of McCabe's pension is estimated at $1.8 million.

McCabe is 49, though he likely had enough paid vacation days saved up to step down before his 50th birthday, the age
requirement for those taking early retirement with at least 20 years of service.

As a law enforcement officer, McCabe is also eligible for cost of living adjustment on top of his pension.

McCabe has been at the center of controversy over leadership at the FBI since before the 2016 presidential election, when
the Wall Street Journal revealed his wife received over $600,000 for her failed Virginia state senate campaign from political
groups tied to Terry McAuliffe, a long-standing ally of Hillary Clinton. McCabe oversaw the investigation into Clinton's misuse
of classified information...'
SOURCE:
What's been discovered is that 50,000 FBI text messages are missing. Apparently, these texts were discussions of how to harm, or assassinate President Trump.
One of the latest Q posts said the USMC has been activated in the U.S.  I wonder who will go down next?  Comey? 


Quote:“This is much larger than just texts between two FBI agents.”
A high-ranking FBI official confirms a number of the missing 50,000 FBI text messages — as well as other text and email messages among FBI brass — reportedly discussed initiating physical harm to President Donald Trump.
The FBI official urged the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — which oversees the U.S. Secret Service  — to launch an investigation of the Justice Department, the FBI and all text messages missing and otherwise that threatened the President.

“This is dangerous territory and all FBI text messages and personal phones should be examined,” the official said. “It would reveal some frightening conversations.”
Did FBI brass discuss the assassination of President Donald Trump? If not, what was the nature of the threats against the president from inside the alleged premiere law enforcement agency in the United States?
“(Director) Wray wants a lid on this,” the FBI official said. “Many know there was talk of harming Trump politically but there is a group here (in D.C. HQ) that understands it goes deeper. We need a special counsel or Homeland Security. Somebody has to clean this up outside of DOJ. It is unacceptable.

“This is much larger than just texts between two FBI agents.”
The FBI official called on President Trump to do what is necessary to weed out corruption in the FBI.

“Text messages just don’t disappear,” the FBI official said. “Not here. Someone outside DOJ has to look at all emails and texts. These (FBI bosses) are bad people. You’ve only scratched the surface.”

The high-ranking FBI official called on lawmakers and the Inspector General to focus on the text and email messages of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The official referred to McCabe’s official and personal correspondences “an anti-Trump treasure trove.”
As reported in March 2017 by True Pundit, McCabe openly threatened President Trump and then-National Security Adviser Gen. Mike Flynn, saying first we “Fuck Flynn and then we Fuck Trump” to several high-ranking FBI bosses who cheered his comment.
