Wray hints to FBI staff that coming IG report played role in McCabe departure
Corrupt News Network ^

Posted on 01/29/2018 4:37:06 PM PST by Bigtigermike

(CNN) FBI Director Chris Wray hinted to FBI staff in an all-employee email that a government watchdog investigation played a role in FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's departure Monday, sources who have seen the memo told CNN.

Wray said in the message he could not comment on the coming inspector general report about the FBI's conduct during the 2016 election and defended himself as not being swayed by politics.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that Wray had informed McCabe he is bringing in his own team, which McCabe would not be a part of, and that it was McCabe's decision whether to stay at the FBI or leave.

The coming inspector general report into the handling of the 2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation has taken on increased scrutiny as President Donald Trump and his allies have railed against FBI officials like McCabe for months over the agency's handling of sensitive political matters and what they argue is political bias.

NPR’s Johnson on McCabe’s retirement:

23 Dec 2017: Twitter: Carrie Johnson NPR: He’s likely to take accrued vacation time etc and depart the building earlier. That has been the plan for a while, I was told weeks ago.
https://twitter.com/johnson_carrie/status/944680066176421889

the actual timing is to deflect attention from the FISA MEMO. don’t fall into the FakeNews narrative - concentrate on the memo.

Every new Director has brought in his own team. No Deputy Director has stayed and accepted a demotion. Outside offers are too good.

Interesting that the memo is about to be released, then the Inspector Generals report will be released, then Mueller will conclude his investigation.

Sequencing is very interesting. Also laughable that Schiff and his little minions are trying to release their memo. I’m hoping it’s released AFTER all the others are released. It will be good for a laugh

The Schiff memo should be used for a SNL skit script.

No CNN you have it wrong. We are talking about Criminal behavior going on in the FBI and the DOJ.

Rep. Adam Schiff’s Congressional Career Aided by Soros-Financed Groups

Breitbart ^ | April 10, 2017 | Aaron Klein

Posted on 1/25/2018, 11:55:54 AM by COUNTrecount

Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was previously financially aided by the George Soros-financed MoveOn.org to win his Congressional seat.

Schiff was also awarded the Toll Fellowship, which is sponsored by the Council of State Governments, a nonprofit that monitors federal government activities and is heavily financed by Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

The Open Society and Soros-funded groups have additionally supported a number of Schiff’s legislative efforts.

Scheiff (long “s”s here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s) ) need to be pilloried with ridicule.

Along with any LSM outlets featuring/highlighting him.

NEVER believe CNN Fake News.... better to get info from a guy on the street, more reliable. CNN is masterminds of most BS circulating in media.

NEVER believe Snopes, because it is run sloppily by Democrats.
NEVER believe Fact Check, it was created by funds from Annenberg Foundation, at time Bill Ayers and Barack Obama were on the Board of Directors, thru Penn State College. Obviously, to deceive Americans, and verify leftist lies.

The same State Pen that exonerated likely pedophile circle member, noted wife swapping studies scholar, Prezzy Spannier?

Who also exonerated Corrupt Climate “Scientist” Mikey “hockey stick” Mann?

Nunes - House Intelligence
Grassley - Senate Judiciary
Horowitz - DOJ OIG

Mueller marches to his own timeline. I think he'll wind up before Horowitz does.
