FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!
WASHINGTON
— Attorney General Jeff Sessions late Friday night accepted
the recommendation that former FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe, who took the reins of the agency during the
turbulent days after the abrupt firing of James Comey, be terminated
— two days before he was to retire and become eligible for full
pension benefits.
Though McCabe — who has been attacked by President Donald Trump — stepped down as deputy director in late January, he remained on the federal payroll, planning to retire on Sunday. The firing places his federal pension in jeopardy.
Unlike Trump's
removal of Comey last year, which produced
widespread resentment inside the FBI, McCabe's termination was
recommended by the agency he served for 21 years.
Sunday is McCabe's 50th birthday, which would have made him eligible for certain substantial retirement benefits.

The FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility proposed the termination, based on the findings of the Justice Department's inspector general. That office has been examining the bureau's handling of the Clinton e-mail investigation.
"After an extensive and fair investigation and according to Department of Justice procedure, the Department’s Office of the Inspector General provided its report on allegations of misconduct by Andrew McCabe to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility," Sessions said in a statement at about 10 p.m. ET Friday night. "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."
In
statement released after the firing was announced, McCabe said:
"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."
As part of the inquiry, McCabe was questioned about conversations FBI officials had with a reporter in October 2016 regarding the FBI's investigation of the Clinton Foundation. The inspector general's report, which has not been made public, concluded that McCabe was not completely candid in answering questions about those conversations, according to officials familiar with the report.
The findings of the inspector general apparently played a role in McCabe's decision to step down in late January from the deputy director post.
In a message to employees at the time, FBI Director Christopher Wray said, "It would be inappropriate for me to comment on specific aspects of the IG's review right now. But I can assure you that I remain staunchly committed to doing this job, in every respect, 'by the book.' I will not be swayed by political or other pressure in my decision making."
After
Comey was fired in May 2017, McCabe became the FBI's acting director.
Two days later, he was asked at a congressional hearing if the
shake-up was affecting operations.
"Quite
simply put, sir, you cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from
doing the right thing, protecting the American people, and upholding
the Constitution," he replied, a comment that cheered the FBI's rank
and file.
But McCabe became a target of Republicans who questioned the FBI's impartiality in how the Clinton investigation was conducted.

When
McCabe's wife, Jill, ran for the state Senate in Virginia in 2015, she
accepted a donation from a political action committee controlled by
Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a friend and supporter of Hillary Clinton's —
and that became the basis for a series of Twitter attacks from Trump.
"Problem
is that the acting head of the FBI & the person in charge of the
Hillary investigation, Andrew McCabe, got $700,000 from H for wife!"
Trump wrote in July 2017, erroneously claiming that McCabe had a role
in facilitating the contribution.
The next day, the president asked in a tweet, "Why didn't [Attorney
General] Sessions replace Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a Comey
friend who was in charge of the Clinton investigation?"
Trump tweeted a shot at McCabe early Saturday, minutes after midnight.

"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!" the
president claimed.
In
response to criticism that McCabe should not have played a role in the
Clinton investigation, the FBI said he consulted with internal ethics
officials who concluded that because his wife's campaign ended before
the investigation began, there was no conflict.
The
number-two official at the FBI is now Acting Deputy Director David
Bowdich, who supervised the investigation of the deadly 2015 shooting
at the San Bernardino, California, community center.
Next
in Line, SEC Investigators who are covering up Obama Administration
crimes.
West
Coast SEC investigators, including the entire SEC team that just sued
Elizabeth Homes and Theranos, have been told, via public notices:
"...BOOOM!!!
SEE MCCABE'S LATEST CAREER SADNESS:
EACH ONE OF YOU SEC PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO EVERY FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE VOTERS FOR RUNNING ORGANIZED CRIME IN COVERING UP THE TESLA SECURITIES LAW VIOLATIONS FOR OVER A DECADE.
"Silicon Valley and Politicians Boxer, Harris, Spier, Brown, Pelosi and Feinstein were the beneficiaries of Obama's Slush Funds including the huge Dept. of Energy (DOE) "Green Cash". DOE has been covering-up organized crime activities at DOE in which DOE funds are being used as a slush-fund to pay off DNC campaign financiers and to pay for CIA/GPS Fusion-Class attacks on business competitors of those DNC campaign financiers. Federal executives, especially at DOE share stock market insider trading holdings with those politicians and companies, ie: most of them own Google and Tesla stock from bribe payments. That is why those companies and politicians run a civil war with Trump. They use armies of "bots" and Shareblue Shills to create an online impression of Anti-Trumpism that is statewide when it is actually not!"
YOU WILL BE FIRED IF AN ANALYSIS OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS, TEXTS, VOICEMAILS, MEETINGS, EMAILS AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THE NSA HAS ACCESS TO, SHOW THAT YOU WERE POLITICAL SHILLS. SMASH YOUR HARD DRIVES AND DELETE YOUR LITTLE COLD HEARTS OUT. THE NSA HAS HAD YOUR STUFF FOR YEARS PRIOR!

The only possible way to save yourselves is to release the Tesla and Musk indictments NOW!!!!!.."
The
SEC investigators Jessica Chan, Rahul Kolhatkar, and Michael Foley and
supervised by Monique Winkler and Erin Schneider in the San Francisco
Regional Office as well as the SEC’s litigation group led by Jason
Habermeyer and Marc Katz of the San Francisco office.were also
admonished with:
"...
Erin, We are BCCing this to the FBI and most members of Congress,
so let's not have any more "missing hard drives", stonewalling,
bottom drawing or other ongoing obfuscation. We are one of
your SEC whistle-blowers who you still have not paid your
whistle-blower fee to for political reasons.
We are shocked to see your release on Theranos when you have taken no action on Tesla Motors which is in your same district, engaged in 1000% more crimes and you have received massively more written tips about for 9 years longer. We have informed you with videos, documents and recordings that Tesla engaged in vastly more " elaborate, years-long fraud in which they exaggerated or made false statements about the company’s technology, business, and financial performance", yet you have taken no action because Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have a financial and political interest in Tesla Motors. Won't your avoidance of the much more criminally overt actions cause your people to go to prison? The FBI's own senior personnel office is today debating firing McCabe before he can get his pension because he did the same exact cover-ups of public crimes. Don't you guys want your pensions?
Let's see a Tesla Motors/Elon Musk SEC indictment ASAP or you guys are going to look really, really bad in front of the entire planet.
How about it Erin?.."
It
looks like the Swamp is actually starting to get drained!
