The DOJ is looking into Andrew McCabe’s role in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email server.
Andrew McCabe was named acting director of the FBI after the sudden firing of Director James Comey by President Donald Trump on Tuesday. He’s also under investigation for his role in Hilary Clinton’s private email server scandal.
McCabe will be tasked with looking into potential Russian interference in the U.S. election until the White House names an interim director for the agency. That decision could come sometime this week, ABC News reported Wednesday.
McCabe has been with the FBI for 20 years, and was promoted last year to deputy director, the FBI’s second highest position. He started with the agency in 1996 focusing on New York’s organized crime, and in 2006 shifted to tackling domestic terrorism, according to NBC News.
Now, the Department of Justice is looking into how the FBI handled the Clinton emails. As part of its probe, the DOJ will review “allegations that the FBI deputy director should have been recused from participating in certain investigative matters.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told CNN Wednesday he has concerns over McCabe taking the top job at the FBI.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are interviewing four to eight individuals for the job, Justice Department officials told CNN.

So, now the coverup gets deeper and wider. You just can't make this stuff up. You can bet that Jeff Sessions is pulling every string he can pull.
