WASHINGTON — Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director and a frequent target of President Donald Trump’s scorn, was fired Friday after the Justice Department rejected an appeal that would have let him retire this weekend.

McCabe promptly declared that his firing, and Trump’s persistent needling, were intended to undermine the special counsel’s investigation in which he is a potential witness.

The real damage is being done to the FBI, law enforcement and the special counsel,”

Quite the contrary Mr McCabe. You are now living proof that malfeasance can be punished. This may give pause to others and reinforce the idea that we are a nation of laws.

When did this happen? I went to bed around 11pm and knew nothing about this. Good news.

Someone finally got fired in Washington, DC. I haven’t seen that since Watergate.

Ok. And yet I was here and didn’t see it posted. No matter. Good news all around.

He’s crying like a little girl.

A bubble appears from the stopped up Swamp drain. Keep on plunging and maybe the pressure breaks up the blockage.

“... prepared statements for a few thousand of it’s flying monkeys.”

Yes, McCabe’s response not only so quickly to get out there , but also seems like someone else wrote it ... pre-written propaganda from the DNC or its MSM wing calling thmselves journaists... carefully crafted to try to gain control of and spin the news story-line. McCabe is “the victim”, the “noble agency”, Trump is evil madman behind it all.

McCabe set up the situation himself. He said he would step down a couple months back....and then said....but wait...if I do it a bit later...when I turn 50.....I can take early retirement and scr** the American people just a bit more.

The little bas**** was blackmailing us....daring us to fire him.

If he had just stepped down at the time he said he was stepping down.....none of this would be in the press. Poor McCabe.

Let's see what happens with Comey....since it was McCabe that Comey dumped on with the Trump conversations at the Whitehouse. I think they call it....partners in crime. Would be cool to find that it was McCabe that told Comey to give the info to his friend, the professor.

And a leaking pattern begins to emerge.

Wonder if Comey will withdraw his book??

Can I steal the above?

Lack of candor is sufficient for this....but when charges come about....it will be replaced with "lying".

I think the "candor" comment was deliberate....an analogy to the Hillary "careless" call.

McCabe publicly violated the Hatch Act when he campaigned for his wife, during her failed attempt to win a seat in the Virginia legislature. She was given about $700,000 by a pro-Clinton PAC, but failed to disclose that fact when he was appointed to investigate the Clinton email scandal, although he did recuse himself later. He should have been fired a long time ago. It is good that he wasn’t because a lot of his other misdeeds probably wouldn’t have come to light.

McCabe will be 50 on March 18, 2018. He would be eligible for early retirement which includes lifetime medical coverage.

Now he will have to buy his own Obamacare and get a job.

At the very least end of the judicial scale, there is at least a tiny modicum of justice left in this country.

There's a whole lot more that need to be fired. I personally will not be satisfied if the firings stop at McCabe.

He's an attorney. He wrote it. He likely wrote two papers....and picked the one that applied. Not unusual.

Remember....every paper in the country had a picture of Hillary ready.

"Cover for action" is part of a spy's tradecraft vocabulary, it's the outwardly innocent or plausible reason for being somewhere and doing something illegal that could cause suspicion to fall on the spy. Strzok's use of CFA is proof that he knew he was acting illegally.

The Swamp is trying to avoid charging McCabe with “Lying” to the FBI. Animal Farm speech..
