btw, the mysterious "Q" left a message just 5 min. before POTUS Trump's tweet, a message which seems to point strongly toward McCabe as well..... most "interesting"....

Ha. A mis spelling on my part.
Medal indeed.
For one thing, you’re missing the fact that McCabe is not the Director of the FBI.... he is the “Deputy” Director.
Wray is the current Director. One hopes that Wray is already busy cleaning house, as the reports on McCabe and Baker being sidelined begin to suggest. But of course it’s not enough just to force them aside, everyone involved in the Deep State coup must be thoroughly investigated, and prosecuted as appropriate.
A 2nd thing, the FBI does not oversee Mueller’s “Special Counsel” investigation... they do provide agents assigned to work for the SC office, but Mueller is supervised (loosely if at all) by the Dept. of Justice: Deputy AG Rosenstein, essentially.
Exactly.
This FBI, like the IRS, the NSA, the DOJ, the EPA, even the CIA was politicized by Obama and then weaponized against US citizens.
The fish stinks from the head, and the FBI has shown itself to be the secret Brown Shirt wing of the Democrat Party.
Trump has every right to take swings at these lying scumbags. They lied about Russia, they lied about their FISA wiretaps, they lied about the dossier, they conspired to destroy a legally elected president....they did everything you would expect the KGB would do for its communist party masters. But there are plenty of red blooded conservative FBI men, yet they were not in leadership.
The FBI needs a Frank Serpico, a whistleblower, to rat out these scum lords that shredded the Constitution, and conspired against innocent Americans to enhance the power of a political party. We are seeing it so it is impossible to deny.
Beautiful.
“As you know, Mr. McCabe is under investigation by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General. That investigation is examining whether the political and financial connections between his wife’s Democratic political campaign and Clinton associates warranted his recusal in the FBI’s Clinton email investigation.
On March 7, 2015, just five days after the New York Times broke the story about Secretary Clinton’s use of private email for official business, Mr. McCabe met with Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a longtime, close associate of the Clintons—along with his wife, Dr. McCabe.
Mr. McAuliffe recruited Dr. McCabe, who had not previously run for any political office, to be the Democratic candidate for a Virginia state senate seat. Dr. McCabe agreed, and Governor McAuliffe’s political action committee subsequently gave nearly $500,000 to her campaign while the FBI’s investigation of Secretary Clinton was ongoing.
The Virginia Democratic Party, over which Mr. McAuliffe exerts considerable control, also donated over $200,000 to Dr. McCabe’s campaign. While Mr. McCabe recused himself from public corruption cases in Virginia—presumably including the reportedly ongoing investigation of Mr. McAuliffe regarding illegal campaign contributions—he failed to recuse himself from the Clinton email investigation, despite the appearance of a conflict created by his wife’s campaign accepting $700,000 from a close Clinton associate during the investigation.”
“The Committee requires additional information to fully understand this situation. Please provide the following information and respond to these questions by April 11, 2017:
1. Has Mr. McCabe been involved in any capacity in the investigation of alleged collusion between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia? If so, in what capacity has he been involved? When did this involvement begin?
2. Has Mr. McCabe been involved in any requests or approvals for physical surveillance, consensual monitoring, searches, or national security letters relating to the investigation? If so, please provide all related documents.
3. In the course of the investigation, has Mr. McCabe been involved in any requests or approvals relating to the acquisition of the contents of stored communications from electronic communication service providers pursuant to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act? If so, please provide all related documents.
4. Has Mr. McCabe been involved in any FISA warrant applications relating to the investigation? If so, in what capacity? Please provide all related documents.
5. In the course of the investigation, has Mr. McCabe, or anyone under his supervision, made any representations to prosecutors or judges regarding the reliability of information in the FBI’s possession as part of seeking judicial authorization for investigative tools? Has he or anyone under his supervision made any such representations about the political opposition research dossier compiled by Mr. Steele and Fusion GPS? If so, please explain and provide copies of all relevant documents.
6. Was Mr. McCabe involved in any FBI interactions with Mr. Steele? If so, please explain.
7. Did Mr. McCabe brief or otherwise communicate with anyone in the Obama administration regarding the investigation? If so, who did he brief, and when? Please provide all related documents.
8. Has Mr. McCabe been authorized by the FBI to speak to the media, whether as an anonymous source or otherwise, regarding the investigation? If so, please provide copies of such authorizations. If he was so authorized, to whom did he speak, and when? If he was not authorized to do so, does the FBI have any indication that he nonetheless spoke to the media?
9. To the best of your knowledge, has anyone within the FBI raised concerns within the Bureau that Mr. McCabe appears to have a conflict of interest in the investigation of Trump associates? If so, who raised such concerns, when did they do so, and how did FBI respond? To the best of your knowledge, has anyone within the FBI filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General regarding Mr. McCabe’s involvement in the investigation?

To this close to 80 year old guy, I just see President
Trump telling everyone Merry Christmas.
Trump should fire him now so he can’t get the full retirement benefit.
Just teasing.
No, on the org chart the FBI doesn’t answer to the president.
‘Who monitors or oversees the FBI?
The FBI’s activities are closely and regularly scrutinized by a variety of entities. Congress—through several oversight committees in the Senate and House—reviews the FBI’s budget appropriations, programs, and selected investigations. The results of FBI investigations are often reviewed by the judicial system during court proceedings. Within the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI is responsible to the attorney general, and it reports its findings to U.S. Attorneys across the country.’

The very idea that McCabe thinks that all he has to do is “retire” and all will go away just proves how very brazen this deep state is.
Lock her up, and while they are at it, lock him up too.
Rust never sleeps, Dave.
And neither does Trump ;-)
Ha ha. Thank you.
When he is fully cooperating, maybe let him retire instead of go to jail.
............
This will take more than 90 days to accomplish....
The best route imho, is to fire him for cause, thereby disallowing him his benefits
And concurrently move to indict
he is already under investigation for hatch act violations, a firing offense do it now
Well, I like Trump’s mettle.
When he is fully cooperating, maybe let him retire instead of go to jail.
........
He’s a Front Stabber
Lois Lerner walked off to a comfy retirement, so did Eric Holder and dozens of others involved in the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
