McCabe Lawyers Up, Kept "Personal Memos" Of Trump
That was fast!
[Zero Hedge] - After former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was fired by the Justice Department late on Friday night just two days before his retirement, because he lied under oath or as AG Sessions said, McCabe "lacked candor - including under oath - on multiple occasions... all FBI employees know that lacking candor under oath results in dismissal", McCabe has decided he won't go down quietly in what he has dubbed the Trump administration's "war on the FBI."

McCabe, who briefly led the agency after Director James Comey was fired, said his dismissal by Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday night was the latest attack on his credibility. He has claimed he's being singled out because of what he witnessed in the aftermath of Comey's ouster.

Of course, some - such as ethics officials belonging to the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility - beg to differ: after all it was they who recommended McCabe's dismissal on Thursday for lying to the Inspector General in the course of a government investigation. As CBS News justice correspondent Paula Reid noted, McCabe's termination takes place just days before the highly anticipated release of the Inspector General's report which is expected to show that he leaked information with the media about the agency's investigation into the Clinton Foundation, and lied under oath.

#1 McCabe lied to the Fisa court and Congress. He may have supervised alteration of 302 forms. He was not candid about his wife's Dem campaign and the $700,000 that came to or thru her. He illegally leaked info. There is probably far more if the DOJ OPR recommended his firing. Why the heck should we give a damn about anything that comes from two liars such as McCabe or Comey?
