McCabe to sue Trump admin for defamation, wrongful termination
MSN News ^ | 04/20/2018 | Jacqueline Thomsen

Former deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is planning to sue the Trump administration for defamation and wrongful termination, according to multiple media reports on Friday.

McCabe's lawyer Michael Bromwich told reporters that McCabe is also considering filing other civil claims. He said the legal team hasn't yet figured out when they're going to file the lawsuits and is working on making them "solid."

"We'll file when we're ready," Bromwich said, according to Axios.

He served at the pleasure of the President. Good luck on the suit.

He wasn't a presidential appointee so he couldn't be fired at will. But he could be fired for cause, which is what the Attorney General did. So I'm not sure where the unlawful termination would come in.

"In the news today: everyone everywhere is suing everyone for everything."

Not everyone. Just the libs.

And likely judge-shopping in San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, D.C., etc.

Did McCabe's job description include writing the Presiden's Daily Briefings?

The CIA prepares the Daily Briefing and not the FBI.

The Left has advanced to lawfare against the American people.

Beginning to be time to put them down like the rabid dogs that they are.

He (& the Dems) will no doubt find a judge (& a circuit court) somewhere who is more than willing to not only find (make up) standing for them, but also rule in their favor.

This reason alone is yet another reason why it's vital that not only Trump stay POTUS for 8 years, but why the (R)'s must control the Senate.

McConnell is taking far to long getting Trumps judicial nominee's confirmed. Image what a Chuckie Schumer lead Senate will do! They will apply full brakes on the process and the courts will continue to have far too many leftist's legislating from the bench. Payback for Merrick Garland.

Does McCabe really want to be asked questions while under oath?

He's been practising the whole "less-than candid" thingee.

Ask the OIG.   winking face

Hoover was the original creator and god of the deep state.

If he’s rolling over in his grave it’s because the current players are so bad at using the deep state.

wiki——The President’s Daily Brief (PDB), sometimes referred to as the President’s Daily Briefing or the President’s Daily Bulletin, is a top-secret document produced and given each morning to the President of the United States, and is also distributed to a small number of top-level US officials who are approved by the President, and includes highly classified intelligence analysis, information about CIA covert operations and reports from the most sensitive US sources or those shared by allied intelligence agencies.[1]

The PDB is also provided to the President-elect of the United States, between election day and inauguration.

The PDB is produced by the Director of National Intelligence,[2] and involves fusing intelligence from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other members of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

You asked if McCabe prepared it. By your own post it’s clear that being in the FBI he would not have.

I find the document trail here also interesting. McCabe’s attorneys will ask for documents because if they don’t, they have those documents which points to another crime McCabe committed in regard to taking documents. Well then the DOJ can slowly read each document and black out classified information. Why that might take years to do.

For many years Jeff Sessions was the only guy standing up for Americans and having spent many years in the swamp, he knows where all the alligators are.

Plus, you have an investigation that has dragged on and yet has zip to show for it. I don’t think that just happens.

You have all kinds of prosecutions of actual illegal activity across the country, not so much the witch hunts anymore.

You must have missed Sessions’ quote praising Rosenstein. Sessions praised RR precisely because he had spent 27 years in the swamp. This is why Rosenstein lied so audaciously in renewing the illegal anti-Trump FISA warrant: lying is SOP for the swamp.

First he needs to sue the OPR, which recommended his firing. If he wins that one, he may have a prayer of winning against the Administration. But since the IG has made a criminal referral already, it looks really slim. McCabe is really looking like an ego-tistical dunce.

Maybe McCabe imagines that if he screams and rages over being fired, he won’t be indicted?

Who knows—on Sessions it might actually work. Not that Sessions needs an excuse; he let Clapper off the hook gratis.

It will be interesting to see what is revealed during this battle. The leakers will be leaking. The public will discover new corrupt things.

The reality is, as more of these Parasites that burrowed into Fedzilla you will see what is common amongst most all of them

A Napoleon Complex!
How dare you question my Authority or honesty.

Someone point out the difference in his attitude to that of Louis Lerner or Kaskinen.

The McCabe attorneys will be making some big bucks. Who will pay for it?

I absolutely agree with you. A huge problem in DC is that the swampers have given themselves so many perks and benefits that they believe they’re royalty. This is my personal theory as to one of the things that went wrong with Sessions. For way too many years he was treated, as a Senator, with the deference typically conferred on a privileged aristocrat. Then he recused himself, and the scuttle is that Trump called him an idiot to his face.

Uh oh. Sessions got his tender sensibilities wounded, and has been down on Trump ever since.

Jmo.

Hilarious stuff. Absolutely hilarious. Very transparent attempt at spin.
