Andrew McCabe is facing his day of reckoning. And it's about time.
The McCabe story goes back a ways. It's necessary to hark back in time to fully understand the dynamics. Terry McAuliffe and Hillary Clinton fatally compromised McCabe in 2015:
By now you know that long time Clinton confidant and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe used $467,500 of his PAC money to help Jill McCabe, the wife of FBI agent Andrew McCabe in her bid for Congress. The Virginia Democratic Party, virtually controlled by McAuliffe, tossed in another $200,000. The money began flowing into the McCabe campaign coffers, in another one of those galactic coincidences, at the same time the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton was initiated in July 2015.Subsequently, he should have stepped away from anything to do with HIllary Clinton and Donald Trump, but he did not. Every action he took since then is questionable. And he made some bad decisions. In testimony before a Congressional committee McCabe 's testimony conflicted with previous testimonies and there was this problem:Right around the same time, FBI Agent McCabe was unexpectedly promoted from heading the Washington DC office to the number 3 position at the FBI. Within a year McCabe was Deputy Director of the FBI.
Now catch this:
In a statement to the Journal, the FBI said McCabe played no role, attended no events, and did not participate in fundraising or support of any kind. Months after the completion of her campaign, then-Associate Deputy Director McCabe was promoted to Deputy, where, in that position, he assumed for the first time, an oversight role in the investigation into Secretary Clintons emails.
Another galactic coincidence. As if as Deputy Director McCabe was expected to erase from his memory the nearly three quarters of a million dollars a close pal of the Clintons donated to his wifes campaign.
It gets worse. A lot worse.
Just prior to that PAC money went into Jill McCabes campaign, Hillary Clinton did a campaign fundraiser event for the very PAC (Common Good VA) that would soon shovel that money into the campaign of the wife of the FBI agent was promoted as the Clinton investigation began and who within a month would be put in charge of the investigation into Hillary Clintons emails.
Clinton helped raise a million dollars in that effort and bucket loads of cash continued to flow in afterward;
Although Common Good VA is only allowed to fund state-level candidates, many of its largest donations came from outside of Virginia including $50,000 from Clinton Foundation official Doug Band in New York, $100,000 from Clinton loyalist Robert Johnson in Maryland, and $10,000 from Clinton mega-donor Stephen Cloobeck in Nevada.
In the following months, Common Good VA received several major donations from other close Clinton associates, including $100,000 from Bill Clintons business partner Ron Burkle in California and $50,000 from Ready for Hillarys finance committee member Leonard Lauder in New York. So lets recap with my untrained eye. Hillary Clinton does a fundraiser for Common Good VA to raise money that is given to the campaign of the wife of the head of the FBI Washington DC field office who is unexpectedly promoted to Number 3 person at the FBI who after his wifes loss in the election is promoted to Number 2 at the FBI and placed in charge of the Hillary Clinton investigation who then finds no reason to prosecute her.
Investigators say McCabe recounted to the panel how hard the FBI had worked to verify the contents of the anti-Trump dossier and stood by its credibility. But when pressed to identify what in the salacious document the bureau had actually corroborated, the sources said, McCabe cited only the fact that Trump campaign adviser Carter Page had traveled to Moscow. Beyond that, investigators said, McCabe could not even say that the bureau had verified the dossiers allegations about the specific meetings Page supposedly held in Moscow.But his downfall apparently came following his interview with investigators from the DOJ Inspector General's office:The sources said that when asked when he learned that the dossier had been funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, McCabe claimed he could not recall despite the reported existence of documents with McCabes own signature on them establishing his knowledge of the dossiers financing and provenance.
The Department of Justices internal watchdog will criticize former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for authorizing leaks to the media and giving misleading statements to investigators about doing so, according to two new reports.Consequently, the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility recommended he be terminated:McCabe, 49, authorized FBI officials to speak to the media for articles prior to the 2016 election, including one about an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation, according to a report being prepared by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
The FBI No. 2 also misled watchdog investigators when they initially asked about the media disclosures, according to The Washington Post.
The New York Times also reported details of Horowitzs report, which is expected to be released in March or April.
WASHINGTON The FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility has recommended the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who remains on the payroll a move that could put his pension at risk, according to officials familiar with the process.It is important to understand that it is not Donald Trump doing this. It is the FBI.It is now up to Attorney General Jeff Sessions whether to reverse that recommendation or to accept it.

You were wrong; McCabe was fired.
And strangely, the media is completely uninterested in the McCabe-Clinton connection. Weird, huh?

seems to be true. if so, it’s just the beginning, hopefully.
Ingraham is reporting live now.

There’s been an ongoing debate here between those who believe Sessions is, at best hopelessly weak and inept and must be removed and those who believe (hope??) that he’s involved in a game of three dimensional chess and the bomb will soon drop. The acid test for Sessions is now. There’s simply no way he can fail to fire McCabe without proving he’s a worthless, traitorous stooge for the Deep State.
I’ve been supportive of AG Sessions as he’s continuously come under attack; however, if he doesn’t adopt the IG recommendation, he might as well step away from his Office and go back to Alabama. That would be a truly sad ending of an otherwise very honorable political career.
“I trust his instincts. Sessions is a distinguished, legendary prosecutor who is going to bring down the fire and brimstone on the Deep State soon.”
We’ll find out by late night Saturday. If McCabe’s fired, good chance you’re right. If not, you’ve just disqualified yourself in a farting contest and need to make a mad dash for the shower and a powerful washing machine.
McCabe, it is reported, that he said, if he loses his pension, he is taking everyone down with him.
“McCabe, it is reported, that he said, if he loses his pension, he is taking everyone down with him.”
We can only hope.
It’s now confirmed that AG Sessions DID, in fact, fire him.
I am happy that AG Sessions didn’t disappoint.
CONGRATULATIONS!! Fox News has just reported McCabe’s been fired. Your tights remain clean with the bangles still flying and you can keep taking your turns at the farting post.
I expect to see a long thread now, filled with apologies from all those who doubted Jeff Sessions would do the right thing! /s
Congratulations!
I was wrong. I hope I will continue to be wrong.
My fear is that not even a reluctant Sessions could squirm out of this one.
After all, the statute of limitations on perjury for Clapper have passed.
