FBI officials have recommended that the former number two at the FBI Andrew McCabe be fired, CBS News' Paula Reid reports. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is reviewing the recommendation. It's likely he'll take the recommendation because it would be difficult for Sessions, who has promised to go after leakers, to be perceived as looking the other way on leaks. Another factor -- it would likely upset the president if it appears that Sessions is going too easy on McCabe over his handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe.
The bureau, asked for a response, said that it had no personnel announcements, but released a statement saying, ""The Department follows a prescribed process by which an employee may be terminated. That process includes recommendations from career employees and no termination decision is final until the conclusion of that process."
The Justice Department's inspector general is, according to media reports, expected to criticize McCabe as part of its investigation into the handling of the Clinton email investigation. The Associated Press reported earlier this month that "criticism of McCabe was expected to be in connection with a media disclosure and a question of whether proper procedures were followed in the release of information."
The move, if it happens, would endanger McCabe's pension and retirement benefits.
They had better recommend that more than just McCabe get fired. There needs to be a clearing out of all the top-level political hacks that made their way up the ranks under Obama. They have completely corrupted the FBI. If McCabe getting fired is all that comes out of this, it will be an extreme disappointment.
I thought he already was fired.
Hello poverty — probably won’t be able to afford a lawyer.
House of cards to implode cause he’ll sing.
I think this whole deal with McCabe since forcing him to retire early was about his pension. It’s about time someone prevented these crooks from continuing to rob us blind even after they leave government employment.
That was fake claims from bloggers. He was using up his remaining vaca and leave time.
And when will he be charged criminally?
Unfortunately his wife is a physician, so there’s that.
He “resigned”. It happens all the time in government.
“F” McCabe! Deep State hemorrhoid.
Hello 8x10 cell... Charges will need to be laid.
The MSM is going to throw McCabe under the bus before DOJ starts investigating CBS
Unless he’s convicted of a few specified crimes, he’ll get back his own pension contributions and will get a law/lobbyist job that pays multiples of his FBI pay.
Me too
Last fall the police went into city hall here and escorted out two of the top people in one of the divisions.
Not a word why. No charges filed. A few months later they “resigned”.
That way whatever they did just disappears. They still get their benefits but we get screwed.
March Madness!
He will still get his 401K and probably a lucrative book deal.
“They had better recommend that more than just McCabe get fired. “
Yep.

Gotta start somewhere. Who's more deserving?
