We just got word that FBI Deputy McCabe, a guy who had a very difficult relationship with President Trump is going to step down from his position as per a breaking report via NBC News.
It’s interesting that McCabe was not actually fired, but put on leave until spring, when he’ll officially retire from the FBI. Deputy FBI director was put on leave for the next few months so he can be eligible for full pension and benefits. There’s no motive provided for McCabe’s stepping down from his position, but we can safely speculate about it a bit later, right after the break. McCabe’s early retirement is good news for the POTUS, who didn’t like McCabe much (and vice-versa). After Donald Trump fired James Comey, McCabe became the de-facto FBI director and during his tenure at the bureau, he was heavily criticized by President Trump (and in a number of right wing media outlets) for his nefarious role in the Clinton investigation. I must remind you that McCabe’s wife ran for office in Virginia back in 2015 and she received considerable amounts of money in the form of campaign contributions from a Hillary linked group. That was one of the main reasons President Trump attacked McCabe.

McCabe Resigns After FBI Director Wray Reviews House FISA Abuse Memo

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was forced to resign Monday, just as the House Intelligence Committee is expected to vote on the public release of a classified memo this afternoon revealing extensive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse under the Obama administration, sources told this reporter.
McCabe apparently lashed out to his colleagues when he was told he would be asked to resign, according to sources. FBI Director Christopher Wray viewed the four-page memo on Sunday, sources familiar with the discussions said.
McCabe, who is facing three federal inquiries for conflicts-of-interest during his time at the FBI, is one of the numerous names mentioned in the classified memo detailing FISA abuse, according to sources who reviewed the memo.
The federal inquiries into allegations against McCabe, who was expected to resign in March, are based on documents and interviews conducted by this reporter over the past year and range from sexual discrimination to improper political activity.

Ok... Did he resign, asked to resign, fired, removed from office...
I see one headline after the next making a different claim...
IS HE IN HANDCUFFS?
Since when do you get to call a perp a victim?
You could say that. Or you could also say he was the first "victim" of Congressional oversite. Turns out that's a real thing again.
Seems very likely since just yesterday Wray read the memo for the first time.
I read...not on leave...but using up his accumulated vacation time.
Apparently no.
He was a known bad actor allowed to get over the goal line for retirement.
posting that!
Hopefully not the last.
Motive?
Does the writer perhaps mean to say there has been no reason given for his departure?
You ask too much! His pension was reduced by 49 cents/month.
“Seems very likely since just yesterday Wray read the memo for the first time.”

Moreso, in that last week Wray threatened to resign if McCabe were removed. Something sure changed his mind fast.
Thanks.
It is interesting how the wording has gone from resigning to
forced to resign.
There’s no motive provided for McCabe’s stepping down from his position...
Innocent people do not resign

Hannity said the media is trying to spin it as a resignation but he was fired with no access to computers or his office .
The dominoes are starting to fall.
Rosenstink will be the next perp. Then Mueller?
