Andrew McCabe Has Been Fired

Andrew McCabe, former second in command at the scandal-embroiled FBI, was fired earlier tonight. His termination was effective immediately. The call came just days after the Inspector General released his internal report, which asserts the former agent misled investigators on a number of matters involving the investigation of the 2016 presidential election.

Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI – A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!

According to sources who spoke to ABC News, McCabe has worried for days that he would lose a pension he built for 22 years. Specific allegations against McCabe include lying to investigators about a probe of the Hillary Clinton email scandal and directing other officials to talk to the Wall Street Journal. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had this to say:

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

More on Jeff Sessions statement can be found here.

The Department of Justice statement continues, “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 report played a major part in the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility decision, where officials recommended termination.

Trump Expressed Concern

In a tweet in December, President Trump expressed his thoughts about McCabe, and whether he would stay on until full retirement when his retirement benefits kicked in.

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!

Donald Trump Jr. expressed similar outrage, concerned that the American taxpayer would have to foot the bill for McCabe’s retirement.

So they will keep him on till then despite all this to make sure the American tax payer is stuck paying him for the rest of his life?

McCabe’s firing comes not a moment too soon for all concerned. This Includes the American public, who should not have to pay upkeep to a man who, along with other actors, broke the law to protect Hillary Clinton from massive treason and national security breaches, and deceived the public and Congress about the seriousness of her crimes.

McCabe Fires Back

“This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally. It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel’s work.” Said McCabe in a statement to the media.

Please retweet this. Andrew McCabe just released a statement that I can guarantee took several days of careful crafting, to ensure it fit his narrative. He knew he would be fired!

Of course, that is fake news. No one waged war against the FBI. In the last year and a half, the FBI has waged war on the Trump administration, to include McCabe’s famous quote, in which he states “F*** Flynn, and then we f*** Trump!” McCabe’s statement after being terminated reflects the left’s maniacal spin, in which they always accuse their opponents of what they are doing.

It goes without saying that McCabe’s firing is music to millions of taxpayer’s ears. Americans do not want to pay someone who so egregiously conspired with others to undermine and strip away their right to decide whom they wish to lead this nation. McCabe is likely to be the first of many to go, as this appears to be the beginning of the “deep state” takedown.

Prepare for More

McCabes firing is what many believe to be the start of repercussions for FBI heads and others who sought to undermine the American people. There are several others who many hope are in the DOJ’s sights including James Comey, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page. Certainly, there are those in Congress who are also in the line of fire.

It is unknown whether criminal charges are in order for McCabe, but considering he aided and abetted in the huge email scandal and cover-up of NATSEC breaches caused by Hillary Clinton’s penchant for unprotected bathroom servers and email accounts designed to skirt Secretary of State protocol, it cannot be ruled out.
