According to the just released report by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe wrongfully caused sensitive law enforcement information to be leaked to the Wall Street Journal and then lied to investigators about having done so. The report runs thirty-five single spaced pages and lays out in excruciating, meticulous, and damning detail how McCabe authorized an anonymous leak calculated to make it appear that he had resisted pressure by Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department to close down the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation during the 2016 election campaign and then proceeded to cover his tracks with lies.
As spelled out by the OIG, McCabe’s troubles started on October 23, 2016, when the Wall Street Journal published an article by reporter Devlin Barrett stating that political action committees run by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and the Virginia Democratic Party (over which the article reported McAuliffe “exerts considerable control”) had donated almost $675,000 to the failed 2015 state senate campaign of McCabe’s wife. The article described McAuliffe as “an influential Democrat with long-standing ties to Bill and Hilary Clinton.” It stated that McCabe was an FBI official “who later helped oversee the investigation” into Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s use of an unsecured private email server.
The article noted that, when the investigation of Clinton’s emails was launched in July 2015, McCabe was “running the FBI’s Washington, D.C. field office, which provided personnel and resources to the Clinton email probe.”

McCabe and Comey sitting in a tree....
Defamation suit? Andy, when you’re in a hole, stop digging.

What is infuriating is that Sessions and Wray have left McCabe at the head of the FBI for so long when everybody in town knows McCabe is a scumbag.
Not even mentioning their stupid and petty stonewalling of Congress, Sessions and Wray should have been fired long ago for incompetence and dereliction of duty.
See, this is the kind of stuff that gets me. These people trade and leak classified information like they’re handing out business cards and none of them ever go to jail or even get arrested. Meanwhile, “Trump may have slept with a porn star 10 years ago! He is crude and unfit and has to go!” Seriously? I so much don’t give a damn about any of that.
