Just days before he would have been eligible for lifetime pension and lifetime medical benefits for his whole family, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was officially fired. McCabe had stepped down amidst scandal in January 2018, going on “terminal leave,” with his official resignation slated to come on March 18, 2018, when he would have been elegible for his full pension package.

According to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ statement on the firing, the action was recommended by FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) after receiving a detailed report of McCabe’s misconduct from the Department’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), who has been investigating FBI/DOJ actions running up to the 2016 presidential election.

Sessions’ statement below:

After an extensive and fair investigation and according to the 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.

While the upcoming OIG report is expected to be “Pure TNT,” according to Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker, the information that has already been reported from the investigation has implicated a number of senior officials from the FBI and DOJ, including the revelations of tens of thousands of text messages by anti-Trump/pro-Clinton FBI agents Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page.

Those texts revealed plotting to discredit an incoming president with an “insurance policy,” which later came to be the whole Russia investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia; the two were actively leaking information to reporters; Strzok changed the wording of former FBI Director James Comey’s exoneration statement for Hillary Clinton in the private server/classified email criminal investigation to language which decriminalized her actions.

More recently it was discovered that Strzok and Page plotted to meet with a FISA judge who presided over Michael Flynn’s guilty plea and was later removed from the case.

A number of high ranking officials from multiple agencies have been terminated, reassigned, demoted or resigned due to information uncovered by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, all before his official report has even been released.

OBAMA DEEP STATE FREAKS OUT OVER MCCABE’S FIRING

While the news of McCabe’s firing came out late Friday evening, reactions were immediate, starting with a statement by McCabe himself where he attempts to portray this action as one where he is being “singled out,” but interestingly enough, as part of his statement he appears to implicate former FBI Directr James Comey, stating that Comey “was aware” of his interactions with a reporter, which the OPR had determined was “unauthorized disclosure to the news media.”

McCabe’s statement in response to the charges within the Session’s statement that he “lacked candor – including under oath – on multiple occasions,” is to claim he “answered questions truthfully and as accurately” as he could “amidst the chaos that surrounded me.”
