FBI Director Chris Wray made clear in a message sent to all bureau employees on Monday night that Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's decision to step aside was a result of forthcoming information to be detailed in an inspector general report, according to a copy of his message obtained by NBC News.

Wray alluded to having seen aspects of the IG's report into the way the FBI handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private e-mail server.

"It would be inappropriate for me to comment on specific aspects of the IG's review right now," Wray said in the message. "But I can assure you that I remain staunchly committed to doing this job, in every respect, 'by the book.' I will not be swayed by political or other pressure in my decision making."

McCabe knows the contents of the report and he stepped down as soon as he became eligible for a pension?

Let’s see what the IG’s report says. If it makes serious allegations against McCabe, the decision to allow him to step down rather than be fired will be outrageous.

McCabe wrote his own message to the bureau: “It is has been my privilege and honor to work with you all for the past 21 years,” he said, adding: “Please always remember that the key to those successes is an unflagging focus on integrity. You are the greatest workforce on earth because you speak up, you tell the truth and you do the right thing. “

Why do I hear in this the ends justify the means...............

let me guess...a Federal employee can "retire" in anticipation of a criminal indictment and keep his entire pension while said employee loses all pension rights once indicted?

Kinda makes me wish I had gone the old "public service" route when I was young.

This reminds me of a case in Canada a few years back.Canadian Air Force Colonel...commander of Canada's biggest Air Force base....sexual pervert...breaking into to women's homes to assault them...wound up murdering two women,including a Corporal under his command...got to keep his entire military pension under Canadian law.

And exactly what does it take to get fired by the FBI?

[wardamneagle]

IG report must be getting close.......real close.

[Saltmeat]

The logic supporting McCabe being allowed to retire with his full pension is exactly the same as a child killing his parents and then appealing for mercy because he is an orphan.

Wray: I will not be swayed by political or other pressure in my decision making.

Why are there not multiple arrests at the FBI (including McCabe) then? Don't make us puke our guts out with disdain, Director Wray.

Wray tips off the IG to go light on McCabe? Didn’t the FBI just finish doing that with HRC and the DOS, et al?

[tennmountainman]

Let me get this straight.

Wray, the FBI Director who has access to ALL FBI files including
FISA Warrants had to view a congressman’s memo to make a decision
to “retire” McCabe?

DRAIN the FBI SWAMP.

Andrew McCabe deserves PRISON, not a pension!
