McCabe sues DOJ. Lawsuit: Justice Dept. failed to give McCabe info on firing

ASHINGTON The Justice Department has repeatedly refused to provide former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe with documents related to his firing, according to a lawsuit filed on his behalf Tuesday.

The complaint says the Justice Department has publicly defended the firing yet failed to identify for McCabe the policies and procedures it followed before dismissing him. The department has withheld the information, McCabe's lawyers allege, for fear that the materials could be used against them in any additional lawsuits.

"We don't create or adjudicate under secret law or procedure," David Snyder, one of McCabe's lawyers, said in an email to The Associated Press.

The case pits the career law enforcement official against the Justice Department, where he was employed for more than two decades. It refocuses attention on a firing last March that divided current and former Justice Department officials. And it signals that McCabe, repeatedly targeted for criticism and attacks by President Donald Trump in the last year, is determined to try to clear his name in court even as he faces a possible criminal probe into whether he intentionally misled internal investigators.

How about we just drop McCabe out of a helicopter and be done with him? We have too many other crooks to deal with to get waylaid with this one.

After he is asked under oath, “Mr. McCabe did you during a evening off site meeting with other FBI personnel or at any other time utter the phrase, F#ck Flynn and then we f#ck Trump”?

I want to see the prick squirm like a nightcrawler on hot sidewalk.

So, are they also asking Mueller and Rosenstein to stop their crap on Trump?
