Breaking on the WashPo.

Quote
McCabe, who had stepped down from his post earlier this year but remained an FBI employee, had been accused by the Justice Department’s inspector general of authorizing the disclosure of sensitive information to a reporter and misleading investigators when asked about it.

McCabe had been a lightning rod in the political battles surrounding the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe into whether any Trump associates coordinated with Russian agents to interfere in the 2016 presidential race.

McCabe ran the FBI for three turbulent months last year, assuming the director’s job on an acting basis after James B. Comey was fired in May. McCabe was hoping to retire Sunday, when he becomes eligible for his full benefits. With his firing, he could lose a significant portion of those benefits.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Wow, that's great!  I think tomorrow (or today, being a workday) was the last day it could be done before he could retire with full benefits.

Amen!   He should be arrested and taken into custody.

General Flynn sold his house to pay attorneys and copped a plea of guilty to 'lying'...when the FBI reported in their summary they though Flynn hadn't lied.  (This was known last year, but withheld because of a pending book deal ....it could have stopped this 'investigation' flat.

That said, he's probably not fretting the loss of $1.8 retirement benefits, since Hillary will write him a check as a Clinton Foundation 'Consultant'.

....just don't go fishing on that lake, Andrew.

McCabe: My firing is part of effort to undermine Mueller probe

Quote
“The idea that I was dishonest is just wrong. This is part of an effort to discredit me as a witness,” McCabe told The New York Times.

Quote
“It’s incredibly unfair to my reputation after a 21-year career,” McCabe told The Times.

Quote
He also criticized President Trump for attacking him, the FBI and other agency officials.

“The real damage is being done to the FBI, law enforcement and the special counsel,” McCabe said.

FBI’s Andrew McCabe is fired a little more than 24 hours before he could retire



 By Matt Zapotosky March 16 at 10:02 PM Email the author

Attorney General Jeff Sessions late Friday night fired former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a little more than 24 hours before McCabe was set to retire.

Sessions announced the decision in a statement just before 10 p.m., noting that both the Justice Department Inspector General and the FBI office that handles discipline had found “that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions.”

He said based on those findings and the recommendation of the department’s senior career official, “I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately.”

I just caught Dershowitz on Fox as I was going to bed.... had to get back up, take a shot for this.

I thought Dersh was fair enough... for Dersh.  The girls were all giddy, funny watching the four of them talking over each other.

Interesting times... interesting times.

The NYT and the left are crying foul and blaming Trump but there is a Huge Problem pushing this narrative!

The Office of Professional Responsibility is the one that recommended the firing!

The "Huge Problem?"

Attorney General Eric Holder named Robin C. Ashton to run the Office of Professional Responsibility in 2011!

Not a Trump cheerleader I'm sure!
