Friday night was a big night for news hawks. And I'm not talking about the upset victory of the UMBC Retrievers over the they-should-have-been-50-points-ahead UVa Cavaliers. Things like that sometimes happen when skill and determination beat odds-makers and reputation.
I'm talking about the firing of Andrew McCabe, who doubtless acted under the impression that rigging things at the FBI for Hillary Clinton was the path to higher office and glory.
Late Friday night, McCabe, the former deputy director and then acting director of the FBI, was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a statement that reads as follows:
~snip~
"Lacking candor under oath" is the operative phrase. If it were you or I, the charge by a special prosecutor would be perjury. Ask Lewis Libby or General Mike Flynn.
Of note, the President had nothing to do with this; the recommendation came from within the FBI itself based on its analysis of the report it received from the Justice Department's inspector general, an Obama appointee. Bear this in mind when you read McCabe's response and the twist the major media are putting on the firing.
Note also "Under oath – on multiple occasions." This suggests but does not prove that McCabe was also interrogated by the outside lawyer the attorney general appointed some time ago to look into the handling of the Clinton email matter by the FBI and Department of Justice officials involved. The inspector general also has the power to administer oaths in the course of his investigation.
McCabe was reportedly given a few days' notice of this intended action and was ready to and did quickly release this statement:

Sessions is an enabler.
A federal official LYING on a federal document
should be prosecuted RATHER THAN PROTECTED.
This will end when each of the protectors
is fired, pensions taken, and indicted for felony.
Start with Hasan’s protectors.
Then, there are so many in the DO”J”.
If one of us ‘lacks candor’, we get to go to jail. No question asked.
Yep, indictments are definitely needed.
Clarice Ping!
Why don’t they just call it perjury?
Don’t give up on Sessions - - he’s like an obcessive compulsive street fighter... He’s a “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” kind of person...
“Why don’t they just call it perjury?”
Probably just a legality...but everyone knows what they mean.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
One more double standard to be disgusted by...
Probably just a legality
“Why don’t they just call it perjury?”
For the same reason that in Congress, they call each other, “My honorable opponent on the other side of the aisle.”
It is called “The Political Minuet”, wherein they dance around the truth but never go anywhere.
Too late. I gave up on Sessions when he recused himself from being USAG, and left my president open to attack by the deep state.
My honorable opponent on the other side of the aisle.”Only Republicans talk that nice and it has to stop.
Brennan very specifically used the phrase,
“Dustbin of history”
Where do we first find that phrase?
Russian Communists.....Leon Trotsky.
Didn’t Brennan vote for Gus Hall, the Presidential candidate for the Communist Party of the US?
Do we have a cabal of Moslems, Communists, hostile foreign governments and greedy traitors trying to weaken our country?
Sure do.
Yep, he acknowledged voted for Gus Hall.
As a high office holder in the US Gov I cannot support a person who converts to Islam, freedom and Islam are not compatible.
