FBI
Deputy Director McCabe Steps Down, Forced To Retire Early
30
January, 2017
Update:
According to Fox News and CBS News's Pat Milton just answered the
question of why McCabe stepped down Monday when he would become
eligible for his full pension benefits n March: McCabe was reportedly
forced to step down. According to Fox News, McCabe was "removed"
from his post as deputy director, "leaving the bureau after
months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans including
President Trump."
In
both cases, his early departure suggests that he was forced out.
Several
media outlets reported that McCabe is using his remaining vacation
days to go on "terminal leave" and that his official
retirement from the agency won't happen until March, allowing him to
collect the full pension.
As
we noted last week, FBI Director Wray threatened to resign after
being pressured by AG Jeff Sessions.

In
a move that was widely expected (although not for another month or
so), Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is stepping down effective
Monday, NBC reported.
BREAKING: Andrew McCabe has stepped down effective today as FBI deputy director, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell @ NBC News
McCabe,
who briefly served as acting director last year after Trump fired
Comey, first let it slip to the Washington Post late last year that
he would be retiring in the coming months as Congressional
Republicans targeted him for criticism surrounding his pro-Clinton
bias (McCabe's wife even secured campaign funding from Clinton ally
Terry McAuliffe, something he initially failed to disclose).
Around
the time of the reports of his impending retirement, McCabe had spent
several marathon sessions answering questions from Congressional
committees behind closed doors.
It
was expected that McCabe would hang on until early March, when he
would become eligible for his full pension. It's unclear why he's
choosing to step down early.
McCabe's
accelerated resignation may a sign that Trump appointee Christopher
Wray - who succeeded James Comey as FBI Director - is finally
cleaning house.
According
to Axios, McCabe may be leaving in anticipation of the release of an
inspector general's report on how the FBI handled the Clinton email
investigation.

On
Monday, President Trump refused to acknowledge reporters asking
questions about McCabe's decision during a White House press
conference. Back in December, Trump tweeted that McCabe was "racing
the clock to retire with full benefits."

According
to the Gateway Pundit, McCabe is suspected of leaking details between
himself and former Trump Chief of Staff Reince Preibus. The sequence
of events, as recounted by the Gateway Pundit, suggests that Preibus
might've been "set up" by McCabe. Recall that McCabe set up
the meeting to tell Preibus that a New York Times report suggesting
widespread collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians was
"bullshit." When Preibus asked McCabe if the FBI could
release a statement publicly confirming this, McCabe said he'd need
to think about it.
The
story leaked to the Times shortly after...
McCabe told Priebus a big NYT story alleging treasonous collusion was false.
Priebus asked if he could make that public.
McCabe then leaked that Priebus was interfering with the FBI. thefederalist.com/2018/01/29/new …

The
Times piece - which suggested that several Trump campaign officials
were in direct contact with Russian government agents - was debunked
by Comey during Senate Intelligence Committee.
With
this in mind, we're definitely curious to see that inspector general
report.
