I would not be surprised if Wray threatened to walk to save that piece of shite McCabe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s exactly what the article is saying happened.
McCabe is dirty.
Anyone standing up for him is dirty, too.

I was hoping the FBI got someone on the outside to be their Director. The late Obama appointment McCabe is corrupt as all heck. Wray has said to Congress that he’s waiting for the OIG report before he takes action. We’ll see. “McCabe is a “train wreck” that was recently quoted in the press.

Sessions should just tell him we’re rolling up the corruption in the Bureau and he can assist in that or be rolled up with it.

I haven’t trusted Wray since his evasiveness when testifying before congress.

The Art of the Deal won today!!

And Schumer had to eat dirt.

Trump wanted DACA and immigration separated out of the budget. That's what happened.

Good Faith between the Dems and Repubs come next. But if you think the President is going to sign anything they come up with...you're being silly.

Now what are the Dems going to do....try to blackmail President Trump....again....with DACA.

He's thinking...

My guess is that there is a way to fund the wall without Congress. I remember Sessions saying that we pay tons of money to Mexicans that could be re-routed. I'll look it up.

The President is playing it just right.

OK - Indict him, he’s violated the Hatch Act and probably much more. Go get him.

There are a few FBI career employee who has turned bad, McCabe being one, but most of the corruption comes from appointees - Comey, Mueller, and more.

I suspect there are a number of excellent career employees who serve in large, important positions more than capable of being the director. And possibly among the retired career FBI there are even more.

This cabal of FBI appointees and DOJ troublemakers are not what the FBI is all about. Judicial action is badly needed to get the cleaning process underway.

Why can’t we get an FBI director who is loyal to our nation rather than to the Deep State/NeoCons?

If Wray thinks McCabe is worth protecting then there is something seriously wrong with Wray

Appointing a Bushie Deep Stater to clean up the FBI is likely asking a pyromaniac to head a fire department.

Wray is a Mueller and Comey wannabe. Wray wished that he went along when Mueller and Comey pulled that stunt at John Ashcroft's hospital bed.

Having now seen the CNN spin on this report, and they’re eating it up, this may indicate that McCabe is about to be fired or prosecuted (or BOTH!) - and this is setting the stage, “no, McCabe & Comey (and Wray?) are good folks but that darn Trump doesn’t want anybody to learn about ‘collusion’” - or something ... but IMO it’s a preemptive announcement from deep state and that could be one implication.
