Like I said last night, some may lose their jobs, none will go to jail and all will retire with full benefits...paid by you.

Isn't government employment grand.

Ok - after ALL the posts & ALL the hubbub this morning, is there actually something to this?

Or..... is he simply taking terminal leave - until his retirement date.

IOW - Is this just a nothing-burger that has got us running in circles (brown side out, green side out...scream & shout...)??

I hate being jerked around...

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on behalf of Jeffrey A. Danik, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, against the U.S. Department of Justice for records concerning FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe (Jeffrey A. Danik v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01792)). Danik worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation for almost 30 years.

In 2015, a political action committee run by McAuliffe, a close friend and political supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, donated nearly $500,000 to Jill McCabe, wife of McCabe, who was then running for the Virginia State Senate. Also, the Virginia Democratic Party, over which McAuliffe had significant influence, donated an additional $207,788 to the Jill McCabe campaign. In July 2015, Andrew McCabe was in charge of the FBI’s Washington, DC, field office, which provided personnel resources to the Clinton email probe.

“I am saddened by how the FBI’s reputation has been tarnished by the poor judgement and ethics of its leadership,” stated Mr. Danik. “I know I’m not the only retired (or serving) FBI special agent who is concerned about Mr. McCabe’s conflicts of interest on the Clinton email matter. The agency seems to be illegally hiding records about this scandal, which is why I’m heading to court with Judicial Watch.”

unless if he gives full testimony, he and many others are going to jail. You can count on it.

Why has he not been fired???? Hell, I was terminated for the “sin” of having a medical issue and being out a few weeks on formal FMLA leave. So I guess it’s ok to break LAWS and get to “retire”, while getting sick is unacceptable. DISGUSTED!

Isn’t the House scheduled to vote on releasing the FISA memo tonight? The Director of the FBI reviewed the memo on Sunday and on Monday McCabe resigns. Probably just a coincidence.

There is a thread that Wray read the 4 page memo over the weekend.

So Wray may have called him and told him not to come in Monday!!!

Just a guess!!

““I am saddened by how the FBI’s reputation has been tarnished by the poor judgement and ethics of its leadership,” stated Mr. Danik.”

It all leads back to Obama, Hillary, And the Democrat establishment.

McCabe is the focus of a RED HOT George Webb video tying him to stealing ranchlands for uranium mining for the Hildabeast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc2LNw4oQkM
