Top FBI official Andrew McCabe has been "removed" from his post as deputy director, Fox News is told, leaving the bureau after months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans including President Trump.

A source confirmed to Fox News that McCabe is taking “terminal leave” – effectively taking vacation until he reaches his planned retirement in a matter of weeks. As such, he will not be reporting to work at the FBI anymore.

I know. Different headline. So, which is it? Being "removed" and stepping down are slightly different things aren't they? Just sayin'.

Usually even if they are being “removed” they are allowed to “resign” to save face. The fact that he is not being given that opportunity is very telling, IMO.

He still gets a fat pension.
He should be in jail.

If his dirt becomes public knowledge and Trump fires him anytime in the next month, he loses the coveted retirement. I think he will sing. If so, he is gonna need protection.....

Much closer to the truth, but likely not the whole truth.

Wonder if McCabe is wearing an ankle bracelet today. Pretty serious flight risk, if ever there was one.

And secret bank accounts?

Who knows?

I'd believe Fox (and OANN) before the other news outlets. If Wray read the memo yesterday, then it must have been proven to him that McCabe is dirty and needed to be shown the door.

The news I’m seeing indicates that he made his retirement announcement with an hour of FBI Director reading Nunes’ 4 page memo.

So, Mr NcCabe, See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya.

I hope his office was cleaned out when he got there this morning and he was not allowed into the building!

He is taking a two month paid vacation. Then he will retire with full benefits.

Dishonest headline. Dishonest reporting.

I bet Cankles has McCabe scheduled for a suicide. Gotta tie up those loose ends.

If Wray is so obtuse that he didn’t know what McCabe did, he should go too.
