Mr. Sessions is the final arbiter of Mr. McCabe’s dismissal, shortly before his retirement takes effect Sunday.
Though no decision has been made, people inside the Justice Department expect him to be fired before Friday,
a decision that would jeopardize his pension as a 21-year F.B.I. veteran.

YES!!!!!!!

We need to see a lot more than this but this is the first sign that Sessions is even aware of the issue.

[Jan2017]

If McCabe makes it to his 50th birthday on Sunday still employed by the federal government, he gets to retire now - at age 50 with full benefits.
He has been on paid leave anyway, just to make it to his 50th as an "official" federal employee -
so it has already just been a big lie that he is still working.

IG could soon release explosive report on FBI's Clinton probe, as Sessions weighs firing McCabe

The Department of Justice’s inspector general could soon release his expected explosive report detailing a more than yearlong review
of the FBI and DOJ’s Hillary Clinton investigation – an effort that has already put top FBI official Andrew McCabe and his pension in jeopardy.

Over the last year, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz has been reviewing the FBI and DOJ’s actions related to
its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Horowitz has told lawmakers he is aiming to release the report in the “March, April time period.”

On Wednesday, fresh evidence emerged that Horowitz may be winding down his efforts. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is considering
firing McCabe over the findings in Horowitz’s review, sources said.

FBI's Andrew McCabe Should Be More Worried About Prison Than His Pension

Embattled Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is scheduled to retire on Sunday with a full pension unless Attorney General Jeff
Sessions decides to fire him by 5 p.m. Friday.

McCabe is accused of allowing political bias to interfere in the FBI's criminal investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
and leaking confidential information to the media. He is also accused of lying to investigators about his contact with reporters and
abusing the FISA system to spy on Americans associated with the Trump campaign.

McCabe was recently recommended for termination by the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility after Department of Justice
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is expected to release a full report about the way the FBI handled the Clinton email investigation,
reportedly found severe wrongdoing.

FBI's Andrew McCabe Should Be More Worried About Prison Than His Pension

That made me laugh bitterly.

[Swordsmyth]

Andrew McCabe (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/andrew-mccabe), the former deputy director of the FBI and a frequent target of President Donald Trump (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/donald-trump), was fired Friday, days before his formal retirement. The firing of McCabe, a civil servant who has been at the bureau for more than two decades, could significantly affect his pension.


Sessions said late Friday in a statement:


“After an extensive and fair investigation and according to Department of Justice procedure, the Department’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) provided its report on allegations of misconduct by Andrew McCabe to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).
“The FBI’s OPR then reviewed the report and underlying documents and issued a disciplinary proposal recommending the dismissal of Mr. McCabe. Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor ― including under oath ― on multiple occasions.
The FBI expects every employee to adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability. As the OPR proposal stated, “all FBI employees know that lacking candor under oath results in dismissal and that our integrity is our brand.”
Pursuant to Department Order 1202, and based on the report of the Inspector General, the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility, and the recommendation of the Department’s senior career official, I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately.
McCabe responded to the firing in a lengthy statement.
"The investigation by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) has to be understood in the context of the attacks on my credibility," McCabe wrote.
He continued:

The investigation flows from my attempt to explain the FBI’s involvement and my supervision of investigations involving Hillary Clinton. I was being portrayed in the media over and over as a political partisan, accused of closing down investigations under political pressure. The FBI was portrayed as caving under that pressure, and making decisions for political rather than law enforcement purposes. Nothing was further from the truth. In fact, this entire investigation stems from my efforts, fully authorized under FBI rules, to set the record straight on behalf of the Bureau, and to make clear that we were continuing an investigation that people in DOJ opposed.

ETA - ah, post #9.

Glorious. Small glory, but I'll take it.

Once again, no idea what he did/failed to do, so I will ask: is there anything chargeable? If so, does it appear he will be charged?

One of the neat side benefits of this is that it screws the pants off whatever family he might have. This is how it should be for "public servants". They should all think a hundred times before stepping outside the ranks of boyscouts. Let them crap themselves with worry for violation of the public trust and let them rat their fellows out in the knowledge that any failure to do so will result in things like this, and worse. That is what America needs in its servants - a low-intensity, creeping, constant, stomach-eroding dread that they will have committed a violation, or failed to have committed an act of correction in the name of the public trust that, when discovered will result in what could amount to a lifetime's work reduced to ash, not to mention prison time. I am thinking that civil forfeiture pro-rated from the time of the first offense, defining the proportion of career time tainted by the act would also be very much motivational. For example, if you have twenty years in and committed an unconfessed violation in year 6, you would forfeit 60% of all your holdings, which would stand to have seriously deleterious effects on your family's interests.

Note "unconfessed". That is the carrot in this scheme. If you transgress and immediately come clean prior to having been discovered, certain consequences would come off the table. Depending on the offense, particularly if it happened accidentally, one might even retain his position. Ratting out all those involved, however, would be an unconditional requirement for not going to prison for a lengthy stay at hard labor.

Leave the architecture to me and I would have government workers so straight, so fast, America would not even be able to wrap its shriveled little brains around the new reality.

[oyarde]

How much is that pension ? I will be happy when the fbi and cia are abolished.

[Jan2017]

this is a chain of events now . . . McCabe was a definite seditious conspirator in a scheme - coup really - to undermine the authority of the United States of America.

What FISA court - the classified court - charges for McCabe to face as violating it's Wood Procedure Rule - it's like treason

Andrew McCabe gets some pension at 57 now - instead of 50 - and goes down - really down - in US history forevah.

Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor ― including under oath ― on multiple occasions.

This is basically how it seemed like Sessions was doing it. He wanted to use established process, procedure and personnel. It's not a fast process, and probably would not have happened without right-wing pressure and someone like Sessions being a stickler for process.

I wouldn't call this proof that the system can police or investigate itself, just that it can work under the right circumstances. And if there is no prosecution, then it is just a slap on the wrist.

After a quick refresher in math. 5 untainted years out of 20 means 75% of the holdings should be forfeited, not 60%. He would let the them go off too easy.:cool:

Hmmm . . . so net worth as a consideration for McCabe's restitution / fine to USA . . .
all assets forfeiture and 40 years hard labor might be a partial down payment.

A Democratic lawmaker on Saturday offered to hire former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe (http://thehill.com/people/andrew-mccabe) in an effort to help McCabe qualify to receive his pension after being fired from the agency two days before he qualified to receive it.
Rep. Mark Pocan (http://thehill.com/people/mark-pocan) (D-Wis.) was responding to a tweet from NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, who said the former FBI official might still be able to receive his pension if he’s hired by a member of Congress.
“Andrew call me. I could use a good two-day report on the biggest crime families in Washington, D.C.,” Pocan tweeted.

[Swordsmyth]

Following his termination (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/378826-sessions-fires-mccabe-from-fbi) late Friday night, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe (http://thehill.com/people/andrew-mccabe) declared that he was “singled out” after “unrelenting” attacks by President Trump (http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump) and critics. McCabe’s objections are less than credible, given the virtually unprecedented recommendation of career officials to fire the one-time acting FBI director.
However, McCabe may have rectified his “singled out” status with his long statement criticizing his termination: In the middle of it is a line that could be viewed as incriminating fired FBI director James Comey (http://thehill.com/people/james-comey), not just in leaking sensitive information but also in lying to Congress.
McCabe is accused of misleading investigators about allegedly giving information to a former Wall Street Journal reporter about the investigation of Hillary Clinton (http://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton) and the Clinton family’s charitable foundation. McCabe asserts in his post-firing statement (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/mccabe-fired-statement-fbi-deputy-director/index.html) that he not only had authority to “share” that information to the media but did so with the knowledge of “the director.” The FBI director at the time was Comey.
ADVERTISEMENT

“I chose to share with a reporter through my public affairs officer and a legal counselor,” McCabe stated. “As deputy director, I was one of only a few people who had the authority to do that. It was not a secret, it took place over several days, and others, including the director, were aware of the interaction with the reporter.”If the “interaction” means leaking the information, then McCabe’s statement would seem to directly contradict statements Comey made in a May 2017 congressional hearing. Asked if he had “ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation” or whether he had “ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation,” Comey replied “never” and “no.”

The McCabe controversy could also make life tougher for special counsel Robert Mueller (http://thehill.com/people/robert-mueller). While McCabe lashed out at Trump in his statement, he may have just given Trump the long-sought cover to use his pardon power. If McCabe is not charged, Trump could cite that decision as the basis for pardoning Flynn, as a matter of equity and fairness.

Still, I can’t help but remember that Attorney General Sessions had wanted to fire McCabe months ago, but back then FBI Director Wray threatened to cause a political s***storm by quitting himself if McCabe was fired.
And that was before we found out about the missing Strzok/Page text messages which continued to be lost on Wray’s watch as well as about the unheeded warnings to the FBI which allowed the Parkland shooter to kill 17.
Now, the Trump administration has a small window in which to fire Wray and they shouldn’t miss the opportunity. Any DOJ scumbag who would threaten to harm the administration in order to protect his/her fellow DOJ scumbag(s) needs to go. And if Wray were to be fired now, I doubt it would cause that much of a dust-up considering the above. Indeed, Florida Governor Rick Scott called for Wray’s departure after the Parkland tragedy.
Wray picked his allies and made his bed. Now it’s time for him to lay in it.

None of the people who have gotten rich off of being a "civil servant" should get a pension. If they have gotten rich as a result of us giving them 100million dollar budgets plus a high dollar salary they probably need to be in jail. I am not saying they shouldn't be paid but someone worth more than 10 million dollars working as a civil servant did not get there without the help of the tax payer. I don't think any elected official should get a pension especially if they are rich. $cr3vv them and put them in jail if we can.

Trump’s adversaries steal the spotlight after wild 24 hours

Stormy Daniels and Andrew McCabe have a bigger platform than ever before.

By ANDREW RESTUCCIA
03/17/2018

Donald Trump’s supporters want to see porn actress Stormy Daniels and formerFBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe silenced and sidelined. But after an explosive 24 hours that featured an unprecedented legal threat from a sitting president against Daniels and the public firing of McCabe on Friday, Trump’s two troublesome adversaries have a bigger platform than ever before.

By Saturday, Daniels and McCabe were the subject of wall-to-wall cable news coverage — much of it unflattering to the president. And the White House was back on the defensive,facing uncomfortable questions about whether the president’s repeated criticism of McCabe influenced Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to fire him, and whether Trump was directly involved in efforts to silence Daniels.

The sequence of events began late Friday night, when Trump, through his personal lawyers, weighed in for the first time (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/16/trump-stormy-daniels-response-466605) on the legal fight stemming from allegations that he had an affair with Daniels. The president’s team asserted (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/16/trump-stormy-daniels-lawsuit-federal-court-468666)that Trump has the right to seek more than $20 million from Daniels for repeatedly violating a non-disclosure agreement.
If Trump’s lawyers follow through on the threat, discovery and depositions could result, pushing Trump further into the middle of the legal fight over the allegations, on which Trump has avoided commenting in public (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/16/trump-stormy-daniels-response-466605).

1,003. Intimidation to create fake evidence (2/3/2018)


It is clear the comic drama is a continuation of the plot to elimination of Kat Sung. First Trump fired Comey, When there is no progress in the attempt murder case of Kat Sung, they force McCabe to leave.


They create a "Russia-probe memo" case to cut the relationship between Trump and the FBI when Trump's treason becomes clear. (Trump may be impeached as a distraction to that framed case) They create the crisis to apply pressure on the FBI. As a matter of fact, Trump is a candidate of the "Deep State" of the Feds to whip their terror force.





FBI deputy director leaving post ahead of planned retirement

Eric Tucker and Sadie Gurman, Associated Press• January 29


WASHINGTON (AP) -- FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of President Donald Trump's criticism who led the bureau for months last year following the firing of James Comey, is leaving his position ahead of a previously planned retirement this spring, people familiar with the decision said Monday.

FBI More Corrupt Than Previously Known; CSI is a LIE
January 12, 2018 By Robert Gehl


The Justice Department and FBI have formally acknowledged that nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000.


Of 28 examiners with the FBI Laboratory’s microscopic hair comparison unit, 26 overstated forensic matches in ways that favored prosecutors in more than 95 percent of the 268 trials reviewed so far, according to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the Innocence Project, which are assisting the government with the country’s largest post-conviction review of questioned forensic evidence.


The cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death. Of those, 14 have been executed or died in prison, the groups said under an agreement with the government to release results after the review of the first 200 convictions.

How pathetic a human being to even think that he is getting "rewards".

And, Nunes said Andrew McCabe will still have to answer before the House Intel Committee as the sedition drums start to roll in beat -

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Saturday extended a federal job offer to McCabe, who has worked for the FBI for 21 years. Pocan wants McCabe to work with his office on election security.

Should McCabe accept the offer, Pocan said in a statement it would allow the former FBI official to reach the length of service he needs to retire and collect his pension, estimated at $60,000 a year.

Andrew McCabe Ordered FBI To Investigate Jeff Sessions
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-21/andrew-mccabe-ordered-fbi-investigate-jeff-sessions

Not even a week after his firing...
There are already whistleblowing leaks
about MORE of McCabe's efforts to discredit political opponents in the Department of Justice.

►The federal criminal investigation on Sessions was authorized "nearly a year" ago by Andrew McCabe.

►Sessions was reportedly unaware of the investigation and remained unaware when he fired McCabe on Friday.

►only McCabe, Mueller, Rod Rosenstein and a handful of top Democrats and Republicans were aware of the investigation.



McCabe apparently made the same miscalculation as James Comey:
That launching an investigation against his superior
(as Comey did when he oversaw the beginnings of what eventually became the Mueller investigation)
would help insulate him.

It didn't.

Andrew McCabe – the top FBI official by fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions hours before his planned retirement – is now soliciting donations online for his legal defense fund.
“The support for Andrew #McCabe has been overwhelming, humbling & deeply appreciated,” Melissa Schwartz, a spokesperson for McCabe, tweeted Thursday. “Unfortunately, the need for a legal defense fund is a growing reality.”

Schwartz linked to a GoFundMe account sponsored by “Friends of Andrew McCabe” that displays a photo of McCabe and his family. It says it has a goal of $150,000.
The site on Thursday afternoon showed hundreds of people donating between $5 and $1,000 each, totaling at just around $27,000.

1010. Push for another drug case framed by China and US spies (3/19/2018)


It's another comic show acted by the Feds(the FBI and DEA) and their representative Trump.


1. One thing important is that without the help of the Feds, Trump couldn't steal the US president seat. They are accomplices.


2. The firing of McCabe is used to cut the relationship between Trump and the Feds.


3. Trump is used as a whip to push the Feds to finish the "elimination Kat Sung" case which lasted more than three decades.


4. Be noticed that the overlapping travel date to "firing McCabe case". My wife and my brother is arranged a tour to China and Taiwan from 3/17 to 3/31, McCabe is fired on 3/16 and he prepares to leave on March.


5. Chinese secret police has a long history to collude with the Feds to frame a drug smmugling case on me, signaled by EP-3 Spy plane crew case(4/11/2001) and Timothy McVeigh's execution (6/11/2001)and 9/11 WTC attack (9/11/2001)


This time they again to frame a drug case on my relatives in their tour to trap me in. I allege.


Re:


1,003. Intimidation to create fake evidence (2/3/2018)


It is clear the comic drama is a continuation of the plot to elimination of Kat Sung. First Trump fired Comey, When there is no progress in the attempt murder case of Kat Sung, they force McCabe to leave.


They create a "Russia-probe memo" case to cut the relationship between Trump and the FBI when Trump's treason becomes clear. (Trump may be impeached as a distraction to that framed case) They create the crisis to apply pressure on the FBI. As a matter of fact, Trump is a candidate of the "Deep State" of the Feds to whip their terror force.





FBI deputy director leaving post ahead of planned retirement

Eric Tucker and Sadie Gurman, Associated Press• January 29


WASHINGTON (AP) -- FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of President Donald Trump's criticism who led the bureau for months last year following the firing of James Comey, is leaving his position ahead of a previously planned retirement this spring, people familiar with the decision said Monday.


https://www.yahoo.com/news/fbi-deputy-director-leaving-post-ahead-planned-retirement-180412684--politics.html

[Swordsmyth]

The Justice Department Office of Inspector General (OIG) delivered a scathing report (https://static01.********/files/2018/us/politics/20180413a-doj-oig-mccabe-report.pdf) to Congress on Friday, accusing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe of repeatedly misleading investigators.
McCabe was fired on March 16 after the OIG found that he "had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor - including under oath - on multiple occasions."
Needless to say, President Trump - who is waging open war with Comey, McCabe and much of the FBI's past and present leadership - was delighted by the release of the OIG report, which prompted the following outburst: ""DOJ just issued the McCabe report - which is a total disaster. He LIED! LIED! LIED! McCabe was totally controlled by Comey - McCabe is Comey!! No collusion, all made up by this den of thieves and lowlifes!"

DOJ just issued the McCabe report - which is a total disaster. He LIED! LIED! LIED! McCabe was totally controlled by Comey - McCabe is Comey!! No collusion, all made up by this den of thieves and lowlifes!

McCabe leaks to the WSJ

Then reprimands two senior FBI officials for leaks in the story

Specifically telling the NY Assistant director to "get his house in order”

On March 30, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) revealed on Fox News that McCabe lied four times, including under oath to the Inspector General.

JORDAN: “McCabe didn’t lie just once, he lied four times. He lied to James Comey. He lied to the Office of Professional Responsibility and he lied twice under oath to the Inspector General. Remember, this is Andrew McCabe, Deputy Director of the FBI. This is Andrew McCabe, the text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page talking about Andy’s office, the meeting where they talk about the insurance policy in case Donald Trump is actually President of the United States… Four times he lied about leaking information to the Wall Street Journal.”
McCabe was fired when it was uncovered that he authorized an F.B.I. spokesman and attorney to tell Devlin Barrett of the Wall St. Journal (https://archive.is/u1ROD), just days before the 2016 election, that the FBI had not put the brakes on a separate investigation into the Clinton Foundation - at a time in which McCabe was coming under fire for his wife taking a $467,500 campaign contribution from Clinton proxy pal, Terry McAuliffe.
The WSJ article in question (https://archive.is/u1ROD) reads:

New details show that senior law-enforcement officials repeatedly voiced skepticism of the strength of the evidence in a bureau investigation of the Clinton Foundation, sought to condense what was at times a sprawling cross-country effort, and, according to some people familiar with the matter, told agents to limit their pursuit of the case. The probe of the foundation began more than a year ago to determine whether financial crimes or influence peddling occurred related to the charity.
...
Some investigators grew frustrated, viewing FBI leadership as uninterested in probing the charity, these people said. Others involved disagreed sharply, defending FBI bosses and saying Mr. McCabe in particular was caught between an increasingly acrimonious fight for control between the Justice Department and FBI agents pursuing the Clinton Foundation case.
So McCabe leaked information to the WSJ in order to combat rumors that Clinton had indirectly bribed him to back off the Clinton Foundation investigation, and then lied about it four times to the DOJ and FBI, including twice under oath.

Conclusion
As detailed in this report, the OIG found that then
-Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe lacked candor
, including under oath,
on multiple occasions in connection
with describing his role in connection with a disclosure to the WSJ, and that this
conduct violated
FBI Offense Codes
2.5 and 2.6.
The OIG also concluded that
McCabe’s disclosure of the existence of an ongoing investigation in the manner
described in this report violated the FBI’s and the Department’s media policy and
constituted misconduct.
The OIG is issuing this report to the FBI for such
action that it deems to be
appropriate.

The DOJ Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz, has released the investigative report (https://t.co/PYAEIRgBVo) of Asst. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe that led to his firing. (full pdf below (https://www.scribd.com/document/376296306/DOJ-OIG-Report-on-Andrew-McCabe-April-13th-Release))
Inspector General Michael Horowitz referred McCabe’s false OIG testimony, made under oath, to the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).

A picture was initially clear in March (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/31/details-of-mccabes-false-statements-surfacing-strong-likelihood-those-lies-show-origin-strzok-and-page-text-messages/) once we had the full timeline of the interviews with Andrew McCabe that led to his firing. This Fox News report (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/04/05/new-details-about-basis-for-andrew-mccabes-firing-from-fbi-revealed.html) only confirms the obvious; however, it’s important to review the events to fully understand the scope of McCabe’s lying and also understand the reason for Lisa Page to be so angry.
Remember, Lisa Page was a DOJ attorney assigned to the office of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe specifically to provide legal guidance. Imagine how pissed off she was when she discovered (July 2017) the Deputy FBI Director who told her to leak a story -on his behalf- to the Wall Street Journal, denied ever telling her to leak the story.
It’s no wonder why Ms. Page told FBI Agent Peter Strzok to “never text her again”, and she quit working for the Mueller team several weeks before IG Horowitz informed Mueller about the conspiracy issues (which led to Strzok’s removal).
Here’s the timeline from an assembly of media reporting (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/30/politics/mccabe-comey-fbi-report/index.html?sr=twCNN033018mccabe-comey-fbi-report0841PMVODtop) and investigative releases to congress.
Andrew McCabe was first interviewed about the media leaks in May 2017. He denied. “A couple of months later” he was interviewed by Inspector General Horowitz, and he again denied. On July 20th of 2017 Inspector General Horowitz gained the Peter Strzok and Lisa Page text messages (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/17/fired-fbi-director-andrew-mccabe-hugs-james-comey-upon-exit/).
•May 2017 McCabe denies leaking for WSJ story (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/17/fired-fbi-director-andrew-mccabe-hugs-james-comey-upon-exit/) to FBI investigators (link (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/30/politics/mccabe-comey-fbi-report/index.html?sr=twCNN033018mccabe-comey-fbi-report0841PMVODtop)).
•July 2017 McCabe denies again; to Inspector General Horowitz.
•July 2017 Lisa Page admits to Horowitz she was told to construct the Wall Street Journal story (Devlin Barrett, journalist). This conflicts with McCabes repeated denials. (link) (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/04/05/new-details-about-basis-for-andrew-mccabes-firing-from-fbi-revealed.html)
•July 20th 2017 Horowitz gets Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages (link (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/03/prequel-specific-instructions-from-rod-rosenstein-to-robert-mueller-surface/)). Proving McCabe constructed the WSJ story.

•August 2017: After Horowitz gets the proof McCabe was lying – McCabe follows up on the two denials saying “he may have allowed FBI officials to speak with the newspaper”. (link (https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/30/politics/mccabe-comey-fbi-report/index.html?sr=twCNN033018mccabe-comey-fbi-report0841PMVODtop))
•August 2017: FBI re-interviews McCabe based on new admissions.
•November 29th 2017: One day before SC Mueller indicts Michael Flynn, IG Horowitz interviews McCabe again. Apparently this time McCabe admitted to constructing the leak.

In May, June and July 2017, while FBI Deputy Director Andrew “Andy” McCabe was lying to FBI investigators and the Inspector General, Lisa Page was working for McCabe as his legal counsel.
Therein lies the heart and origin of the motive for Lisa Page to flip against the conspiracy group when she discovered Andrew McCabe lying to investigators about his instructions to her. IG Horowitz then interviews Page in July and she tells the truth, thereby contradicting McCabe. However, Ms. Page had evidence to back-up her version of the events, the text messages she delivered July 20th, 2017 (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/03/prequel-specific-instructions-from-rod-rosenstein-to-robert-mueller-surface/).

DOJ Inspector General Refers McCabe For Criminal Chargeshttps://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-19/doj-inspector-general-refers-mccabe-criminal-charges

[Swordsmyth]

Ex–FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe plans to file lawsuits for defamation, wrongful termination and other claims, his lawyer said Friday.
Attorney Michael Bromwich said McCabe’s legal team was still working out when they plan to file the suits, and that they “want these to be solid. We’ll file when we’re ready,” Axios reported.
Bromwich accused McCabe’s opponents, including President Trump, of “continuing slander,” although he did not specify whom the suits would target.
“We’ve never seen anything like this before. It does damage not only to Andy McCabe individually but also to the FBI as an institution,” he said.

As the FBI's investigation into the Clinton Foundation pressed on during the 2016 election, a senior official with the Obama justice department, identified as Matthew Axelrod, called former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe - who thought the DOJ was pressuring him to shut down the investigation, according to the recently released inspector general's (OIG) report.

The official was “very pissed off” at the FBI, the report says, and demanded to know why the FBI was still pursuing the Clinton Foundation when the Justice Department considered the case dormant. -Washington Times (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/apr/23/justice-departments-attempts-influence-investigati/)
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Matthew-Axelrod-Article-201703131916.jpg
The OIG issued a criminal referral for McCabe based on findings that the former Deputy Director "made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor - including under oath - on multiple occasions."
McCabe authorized a self-serving leak to the New York Times claiming that the FBI had not put the brakes on the Clinton Foundation investigation, during a period in which he was coming under fire over a $467,500 campaign donation his wife Jill took from Clinton pal Terry McAuliffe.
“It is bizarre — and that word can’t be used enough — to have the Justice Department call the FBI’s deputy director and try to influence the outcome of an active corruption investigation,” said James Wedick - a former FBI official who conducted corruption investigations at the bureau. “They can have some input, but they shouldn’t be operationally in control like it appears they were from this call.”
Wedick said he's never fielded a call from the Justice Department about any of his cases during his 35 years there - which suggests an attempt at interference by the Obama administration.
As the Washington Times (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/apr/23/justice-departments-attempts-influence-investigati/) Jeff Mordock points out, Although the inspector general’s report did not identify the caller, former FBI and Justice Department officials said it was Matthew Axelrod, who was the principal associate deputy attorney general — the title the IG report did use.

Mr. McCabe thought the call was out of bounds.
He told the inspector general that during the Aug. 12, 2016, call the principal associate deputy attorney general expressed concerns about FBI agents taking overt steps in the Clinton Foundation investigation during the presidential campaign. -Washington Times (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/apr/23/justice-departments-attempts-influence-investigati/)
“According to McCabe, he pushed back, asking ‘are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?’” the report reads. “McCabe told us that the conversation was ‘very dramatic’ and he never had a similar confrontation like the PADAG call with a high-level department official in his entire FBI career.”
The Inspector General said in a footnote that the Justice official (identified separately as Matthew Alexrod) agreed to the description of the call, but objected to seeing that "the Bureau was trying to spin this conversation as some evidence of political interference, which was totally unfair."

Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe reportedly gave a "stand-down" order to FBI agents who began probing Hillary Clinton's use of a private server for official government business following a report in the New York Times, reports journalist Sara Carter, citing "multiple former FBI officials, along with a Congressional official."

After The New York Times publication, the FBI Washington Field Office began investigating Clinton’s use of private emails and whether she was using her personal email account to transmit classified information. According to sources, McCabe was overseas when he became aware of the investigation and sent electronic communications voicing his displeasure with the agents. -Sara Carter (https://saraacarter.com/did-mccabe-issue-stand-down-order-on-fbi-clinton-email-investigation/)
"Electronic communications" you say? Sounds like McCabe picked the right time to relaunch his new legal defense fund (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-24/mccabe-launches-new-legal-defense-fund-may-file-wrongful-termination-suit-against).
McCabe's reported March 2015 "stand down" order to agents investigating the New York Times report may have broken FBI rules, to say the least. The official DOJ request to investigate Clinton would not be issued until the end of July 2015, four months later.

“McCabe tried to steer people off the private email investigation and that appears to be obstruction and should be investigated,” said one former FBI official with knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the investigation. “Now if the information on the ‘stand-down’ order is obtained by the IG that could bring a whole lot of other troubles to McCabe.”

So McCabe was accused of a "stand-down" order during the 2016 election, for which he authorized the leak that got him fired - and he now stands accused of a separate, previous "stand-down" order as agents began to follow up on a March 2 2015 New York Times (http://archive.is/bw6vO) report into Clinton's use of a private server.


According to the OIG report on McCabe, the Wall Street Journal article which used McCabe's leak “discussed not only the FBI’s handling of the Clinton E-mail Investigation but ‘internal disagreements within the Bureau and the Justice Department surrounding the Clintons’ family philanthropy.'” It stated that “McCabe, in particular, was caught . . . [in] an increasingly acrimonious fight for control between the Justice Department and FBI agents pursuing the Clinton Foundation case.”

The former law enforcement sources who spoke to this reporter said a possible stand-down order on the Clinton Foundation investigation doesn’t preclude another stand-down order from McCabe on the Clinton email server investigation. They noted that it appears from the IG’s report that the Justice Department was attempting to dissuade McCabe from moving forward with the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation. McCabe said he authorized the disclosure to The Wall Street Journal of his conversation with the DOJ’s Principal Assistant Attorney General (PADAG) in an effort to counter the narrative that he had given a stand-down order on the Bureau’s Clinton Foundation investigation. -Sara Carter

Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is said to be in negotiations with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley for immunity ahead of his testimony on the upcoming DOJ Inspector General report on the FBI's conduct during the Clinton email probe.

“Grassley, an Iowa Republican, has quietly requested that several former officials appear in front of the Judiciary Committee to discuss the long-awaited internal Justice Department report, which sources say will detail a series of missteps surrounding the Justice Department and FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified information while secretary of state,” reports CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/05/politics/andrew-mccabe-immunity-grassley/index.html).
McCabe's attorney, Michael Bromwich, insisted that “Under the terms of such a grant of use immunity, no testimony or other information provided by Mr. McCabe could be used against him in a criminal case,” adding “Mr. McCabe is willing to testify, but because of the criminal referral, he must be afforded suitable legal protection."

“This is a textbook case for granting use immunity… If this Committee is unwilling or unable to obtain such an order, then Mr. McCabe will have no choice but to invoke his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.” -Michael Bromwich

Lawyers representing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe filed a suit against the Justice Department and FBI on Tuesday, alleging that they wouldn't give up files connected to his ouster.
McCabe’s lawyers claimed the Justice Department has denied access to the sought-after information out of concern that the documents could be later used against them, the lawsuit said. The suit also named the office of the DOJ inspector general.
“We don’t create or adjudicate under secret law or procedure,” David Snyder, a lawyer representing McCabe, told The Associated Press.
A representative for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
