The United States Office of the Inspector General’s probe of FBI brass is yielding investigative fruits that may warrant a referral for criminal charges related to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, according the FBI and DOJ sources.
McCabe, who has been administratively sidelined and stripped of his responsibilities by new FBI Director Christopher Wary, has been the target of an OIG probe for months. According to FBI sources, OIG investigators are finalizing its probe of the Bureau and McCabe’s name keeps surfacing time and time again. Federal law enforcement sources said the OIG’s findings have eclipsed simple administrative breakdowns in the FBI’s “front office” of its D.C. headquarters.
“There are several glaring problems,” one FBI source said. “I don’t see from what I know how McCabe walks away without lawyering up or cutting a deal to walk away and try to make this go away.”
The source said the OIG’s findings could warrant a referral to launch a separate criminal case by the Justice Department or U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team which share jurisdiction over any criminality linked to the 2016 presidential election.
“There are many problems and Andy is at the center of this thing,” the FBI insider said. “Some financial things have come up in the review, that is all I can say.”

McCabe held a gathering of senior FBI officials after Trump’s election and mouthed off F Trump several times according to multiple sources. Why he is still employed and why he was made acting director is a large blemish on this administration. All of this is beside the fact that his wife accepted a huge bribe disguised as a campaign contribution just as the FBI began to investigate Hillary. This guy is sleazy and needs to be in jail.
This winning is really getting old.
“If you want to read their articles, consider them satire,...”
I’d be curious to know what exactly about the linked article fits your above description.
I read it. It seems quite honest and quite informative. And WAY ahead of everybody else. They broke today’s story in March.
McCabe’s criminal referral may go to Mueller? Is this a joke?
Sessions should have fired McCabe on day one.
This is the Deep State in full control.
When Trump fired Comey, Comey specifically testified that one part of his purported private conversation with Trump was a conversation about Andrew McCabe that Comey tried to spin as Trump asking if McCabe would be a reliable yes man and fixer for Donald Trump
Comey testified under oath that he assured Trump that McCabe was a totally apolitical and squeaky clean honest career law enforcement officer who held no political grudges , had no political agenda and had no axe to grind with Donald Trump personally and professionally.
Comey further testified that he assured President Trump that McCabe would serve Donald Trump faithfully and loyally in the same great tradition as the rest of the FBI had always served the President
Comey also testified that he assured President Trump that McCabe was a seasoned professional who would never allow himself to undermine the President of the United States or his Administration
Based on Comey’s own sworn testimony under oath and what we slowly are learning about McCabe as the truth is revealed by the Inspector General and proof gets pried out of the hands of the FBI , Comey’s reply to Trumps concerns and endorsement of McCabe are being shown to be totally false and probably outright lies as it's hard to see how Comey could. Have been aware of good buddy McCabe’s true nature.
McCabe is being shown to be a virulent anti Trump partisan as well as head fixer and obstructor of justice protecting Hillary Clinton along with Obama and his people.
McCabe seems to have been actively engaged in both covering up past misconduct and obstruction of justice while at the same time engaging in active sedition against President Trump and his entire administration
Trump was fully justified for firing Comey for his false representations about and misinformation he gave Trump about McCabes agenda, honesty and and trustworthiness
And Comey’s misinformation was videotaped in his sworn Congressional testimony .
Comey’s misinformation and probable lies to Trump about McCabe are serious and justify Trump's firing of Comey all on their own
Russia, Russia, Russia soon to be FISA, FISA, FISA !
When senior bureaucrats start driving expensive Porsches they need a closer look.
“Plus it would interrupt Sessions long and I mean long naps.”
I dont care... I want blood. Democrats have got to start paying a price ...a terrible price.
Wonder if McCabes Porsche was paid for with Russian Uranium Rubles or Saudi/Qatari petro dollars?
“Any brilliant FR thoughts about whether the irregularities could legitimize a move by AG Sessions to un-recuse himself and regain control of the law and order issues of this nation? “
It would for a REAL MAN! But then he never would have recused in the first place.
In fact, the widening disclosures of FBI misconduct probably invalidate or moot any justification for recusal
On the other hand, any and all claims that Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey have just flown out the window
sedition was they key word in your post...
I'm a cock-eyed optimist (Seinfeld ref.), but I still hold out hope for him. C'mon, Jeff. Be a REAL MAN!
Bingo! Despite all the childish remarks, you see the light. A professionally run competent investigation does not post daily updates on Instagram or appear on talkshows.
Sessions, Mueller, Rosenstein, and Trump are going to be responsible for many many crowburgers being eaten.
You’ll notice how this is being revealed, slowly so as to not upset markets and allies, but steadily, just like clockwork. Tick-tock. Strzok was the lynchpin, he was fired from the Mueller team in August, but only last weekend were the reasons made public. Tick. OIG opens investigaton on McCabe. Tock. FBI General Counsel James Baker under a criminal investigation by the DOJ (that’s the TOP FBI lawyer!). Tock.
Who’s next? Tick.
Meanwhile, Trump gets tax cuts thru the Senate and his full travel ban reinstated. Tick. Tock.
“...interrupt Sessions long and I mean long naps.”
People can legitimately disagree with Session’s recusal.
It is simply not true to suggest he is not hard at work on other things. Big things.
AG Jeff has been absolutely fantastic ay helping Trump fulfill his #1 promise: to crack down on immigration related problems.
Absolutely fantastic. Totally unafraid of liberal / media cries of unAmerican injustices, blah, blah.
Who the hell do all the Session-bashing, Never-Jeffers think won at the Supreme Court today?
Who the hell has been doing the previously undoable task of forcefully taking on the Sanctimonious Cities?
Who the hell would have guessed the feds would be looking into the commie/Left, anti-Freedom universities?
Not to mention... that Sessions, while working within what EVERYBODY here assumes to be a totally rotten-to-the-core DOJ, is currently running 27 investigations for unlawful leaks? ( Probably cases involving several swamp people who Never-Jeffers THINK he should be stringing up with no help and no trial. )
For crying out loud, he’s not God.
Sessions and Flynn were Trump’s first high-profile supporters. The Left got Flynn. The phony right now wants Sessions.
It appears the Obama-Clinton axis was so certain of victory, they ever more brazenly acted unlawfully and unfairly.
Top ranking officials under Nixon saw prison time, for far less than this cast of crooks have done.
And it still continues.
