“McCabe’s previously-unreported decision to actually put the attorney general in the crosshairs of an FBI probe”

How can McCabe have made such a decision of had authority to do so?

He couldn’t.

This describes the activity of what has commonly been known as a “goon squad”.

Who approved it??? It's a pretty big leap to investigating the Attorney General from a lower-level (from him) Justice Department employee. If this was Comey, he needs to be hauled in for questioning...

...by a Prosecuting Attorney, not other Justice minions.
