The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
So, Andrew McCabe might be fired after all. That, at least, is the decision Attorney General Jeff Sessions is suddenly faced with, six days before the swamp skunk McCabe is scheduled to retire with full benefits on March 20.
The stated reason the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) gives for its recommendation to AG Sessions is that McCabe improperly leaked information related to the 2016 FBI investigation into the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal on multiple occasions. This finding was made by Inspector General Michael Horowitz during his 14 month-long investigation into FBI/DOJ wrongdoing.
Heres the irony in this situation: the OPR report accusing McCabe of leaking to the media was made public today through wait for it leaks to the media. What in the world are we to make of that? Lets face it, its not like the OPR has to this point been right on top of all the bad actors in this DOJ anti-Trump cabal that has been in action since mid-2016. Where is the OPR report on Peter Strzok? On Lisa Page? On Bruce Ohr? Any of the other already-identified bad actors?
So, why do we suddenly see this particular action on this particular day? I see three possibilities:
The OPR is full of bad actors itself, and is trying put Sessions in a situation in which he has two options, either one of which will generate media controversy. Id rule this one out, because whats a little media controversy to Jeff Sessions or the Trump Administration at this point? I mean, who really cares?; Horowitz is clearing the playing field for the pending release of his report by starting to roll out a series of administrative recommendations based on his findings to discipline bad actors; or This is an isolated situation, and the OPR is simply acting in the normal course of business on the only recommendation it has thus far received from IG Horowitz. Wait. There is a fourth possibility, which is that McCabe was originally escorted from the premises in February but not technically fired as a way of giving him a carrot to cooperate with the IGs investigation and other DOJ investigations into various Obama-era scandals that we know to be ongoing. In this scenario, he is now facing the likelihood of termination and loss of retirement benefits because he has refused to become a cooperating witness. Todays leak to the media would be designed to put further pressure on him to cooperate.
Also in this scenario, we havent seen any similar firing recommendations on Strzok, Page, Ohr or others because they are cooperating with those investigations.
Occams Razor would dictate that Option 3 is most likely to be true, because it is, at least on the surface, the simplest explanation. But when you think below the surface, that doesnt really explain why it is that bad actors who have been publicly identified by the AG and IG themselves Strzok, Page and Ohr remain employed at DOJ and the FBI, though in reassigned positions, and have had no similar OPR report against them leaked to the press.
The only two scenarios that take all of that into account are Option 2 and Option 4. Just for fun, Ill go with number 4. Well know for sure soon enough.
That is all.

Todays news moves at a pace than ever. Whatfinger.com is my go-to source for keeping up with all the latest events in real time.
Fire the bastard right now.
Not going to happen, Sessions lacks any testicular fortitude.
Prosecute Sessions he is the one obstructing justice. Sessions is the swamp, his purpose is to ensure no goes to jail.
Fire the bastard right now^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes, fire him and do it ASAP. Cripes, I thought he was gone and subject to arrest and questioning anyway Oh, what a fantasy!!
Sessions WILL chicken out.
“I want to seem GENTLEMANLY..!”
If all of the top men/women were fired and lost their pensions, it would serve as a lesson to the troops and do more for making the FBI and DOJ honest than anything else that would have an immediate result.
Of course McCabe is cooperating. Liberals never cooperate because they know someone or something (the System?) has their back.
First course: Swamp Soup
Oops. I should have said: Of course McCabe ISN’T cooperating.
In my view, mcCabe committed treason and sedition. He should be tied and executed by firing squad ON TV!!
Once again, criminals and their crimes are shoved in the public face only to be let go. Lawlessness. Maybe I am too cynical, but if Mccabe is not fired in the next 4 days, I really don’t need to hear anymore about the fake justice and enforcement agencies in this country.
Does it fall to Rosenstien to fire?
THIS type of thing is the reason why most people believe that LAWS ARE ONLY FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE! Why should McCabe get his retirement???He BROKE THE LAWS OF HIS JOB! NO ONE, BUT THE POLITICAL CLASS WOULD GET THEIR RETIREMENT, AFTER DOING WHAT MCCABE HAS DONE! (Sorry for shouting, BUT I AM FED UP WITH THE SWAMP CREATURES, ON THEIR SIDE AND ON OURS!)
LEOs don't...
This could also be a way to pressure him to give a sworn deposition for damaging information while still an FBI employee. No talky, pink slip and prosecution.
In before the Sessions suck asses show up!!!!!!
P
Fire him tomorrow and then find a way to seize Lois Lerner’s pension.
(Well, I can dream...)
