Analysis: Why Was Andrew McCabe Abruptly Removed From His Post?
Townhall ^ | 29 January 2018 | Guy Benson

Posted on 01/29/2018 10:39:21 PM PST by lowbuck

s you already know, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe -- against whom President Trump has fulminated in tweets -- no longer occupies his position. CNN's Jim Acosta initially reported that the departure was 'mutual' and done on McCabe's terms, but multiple other networks confirmed that McCabe had be ousted. . . snip

Remember, Wray had reportedly threatened to quit rather than get pushed around by Trump's anti-McCabe raging. But now he's seen something so significant that it convinced him McCabe couldn't remain in his previous position for a moment longer -- and that something is apparently connected to the IG's review of the Clinton probe.

What did Wray see that was so "concerning"? Stay tuned.

A good and fair analysis of the "departure" of the Number 2 at the FBI.

Has loads of hotlinks to support or flush out the story so it is well worth a visit.

It is shaping up to be a very interesting week!

I won’t be satisfied until Comey-McCabe-Mueller-Strzok-Ohr are in adjoining cells. Sedition of the highest order.

This article is also FOS! Guy Benson is a never-Trumper. He says that Trump appointed Rosenstein, which, of what I’ve read is true, is false! He’s an Obola holdover who’s only claim is being appointed by GW BOOSH to an earlier position in the Justice Dept. which hardly qualifies him to be a Trump appointee.

News is out now that the intelligence Committee has not be allowed to see the Schiff memo. There is speculation that it does not fully exist.

The writer keeps repeating that the Dem memo should be released as well, but Schiff and the crew will not let the Intel. committee read it before voting to release it. They would be ignorant to vote for something they have not even read. Schiff just wants a talking point to spew.

Gay Benson offers nothing worthwhile in this so-called analysis.

I’m thinking the entire management teams at DOJ and FBI need to be ousted, most charged, and a lot thrown in jail.

Sorry about that. The writing staff is having a hard time coming up with a plausible 'alternative' memo.

Huh? RR was just one of 90+ US Attorneys. Pres. Trump refused to accept his resignation from that job, then nominated him for the number two job at the Department of Justice. He was confirmed by the Senate. That’s the very definition of a ‘Trump appointment’.

Having them vote YES to release it means that they also 'endorse' it as being true. That is why Schiff wants a blind vote. Plus, the Dem memo may not be ready yet.

We’ll all know shortly. Most likely he’s gone at this time because his boss Wray fully comprehended the full case against him, after reading both the IG report as well as the Nunes memo.

No doubt there are furious efforts to contain events, but I’m frankly skeptical the 60% of information QAnon speaks of will be kept sacrosanct. If the whole enchilada comes out, it’s a sure bet the Russia collusion fraud and the crimes of the Clintons will be pushed completely out of the news cycle.

Just the fact that the 60% has been spoken of in this manner and with this much attention, means it will be pecked at endlessly, until this leaks and that leaks and finally the dam breaks completely. At this point it’s just a matter of time, because the process from here on is inexorable.

He didn't see anything he didn't already know. What he saw that terrified him is what was about to be released to the public and if he didn't appear shocked and take immediate action it could appear that maybe he is part of the problem and the cover up. Which in my opinion he is part of the coverup and is likely just as dirty as comey mccabe and all the rest.

Let's face it people, it's pretty clear that anyone near the level of these guys in the FBI or the DOJ is a corrupt deep state leftist. I think you would have to go down many levels before you would find anyone that isn't part of the deep state.

If it took until now for Wray to figure out that McCabe was a problem, Wray is too dumb to continue as FBI Director.

As far as I can tell, the New York Times is the source for the claim that it was the IG report that forced Wray to move on McCabe.

Judicial Watch also uncovered documents that indicate McCabe used FBI resources to support his wife’s political campaign. That would seem far less serious than other charges that could be made against McCabe, so those will probably be the ones used.

Part of the effort to obscure what is happening is this “Schiff memo”. Top Secret, burn before reading, you cannot see it but it is the truth, trust us! Oh, and you should believe us that what Nunes has is crap, etc., etc.

The deep state and the MSM (do I repeat myself?) are not going quietly into the night.

I like the drip, drip, drip way in which information about wrong doing at the highest levels is being spooned out. At each turn the left shows their cards which are knocked down before the next disclosure.

Hopefully, the good guys will manage the flow of info to many Americans who are just now tuning in and do so with a few simple to understand, factual points that stick.

Simple, he counted his vacation days and they were enough, as of Monday, to get him to his official retirement date to vest all his benefits.

He probably wanted to stay to March (to extend his full pay a couple of months), but then decided he did not want to be around when the memo hit.
