Oh my: FBI deputy chief Andrew McCabe headed for the exit? - Hot Air
McCabe has spent the past year popping up in the news for all the wrong reasons. In February 2016 he was promoted to deputy director and assumed oversight of the Hillary Emailgate investigation — after his wife had received nearly $700,000 from Democratic groups for a failed run for Virginia state senate.
This past February he got caught talking to then-chief of staff Reince Priebus about an allegedly bogus Russiagate story in the NYT, a no-no since DOJ investigations are supposed to be independent of politics. His latest news cameo was (apparently) in the infamous text in August 2016 from FBI agent Peter Strzok to Lisa Page: “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office – that there’s no way he [i.e. Trump] gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”
Who’s “Andy”? Almost certainly it’s Andrew McCabe.
McCabe is scheduled to testify about it before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.
Chris Wray, the new director of the FBI, would be well within his rights to conclude that the Bureau’s integrity has been damaged by the reference to McCabe in Strzok’s text and the only way to repair it is to cut him loose. Maybe the word is out on the Hill that Wray and McCabe are already negotiating a “resignation.”
Sounds like the FBI is considering 'amputating' / 'sacrificing' pieces in an attempt to save the whole, trying to con the Smerican people into thinking the FBI is not an infected, gangrenous partisan tool that has protected Hillary and other Democrats from indictment while attempting to take down the President.
The 1st person they should have already fired is disgraced FBI agent / fired partisan Mueller team member Strzok.
INstead of draining their own corner of the swamp by firIng him. they protected him, 're-assigning' him.
