Reuters: Former FBI Official Urges Jeff Sessions Not To Fire Andrew McCabe…
theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | 3/15/18 | sundance

Interestingly Reuters is continuing the McCabe narrative with an article quoting an unnamed FBI official who urges Attorney General Jeff Sessions not to fire Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. Given the rather expansive wealth of McCabe the angle of preserving his pension seems more than a little odd.

The ‘source’ for the Reuters article could likely be former FBI Director James Comey.

The recommendation to fire McCabe was based on a referral to the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) by the Justice Department’s inspector general Michael Horowitz. The IG felt McCabe misled OIG investigators about his communications with Devlin Barrett; a former Wall Street Journal reporter now working for the Washington Post.

The MCCABE “dilemma” for SESSIONS will flush out whose side he is really on.

mormoninsider says:

So, Mueller, can bankrupt and ruin lives left and right due to an investigation with no underlying crime, destroying the lives of those who dared to work for President Trumps campaign, but we are supposed to feel sorry for a leaker, committing felonies, who politicized his position of trust at the FBI. The media bias, again, astounds me. The way they frame stories based on their own political opinions, is despicable.

I’d be extremely surprise if the meek, ineffectual Sessions fires McCabe (as he should).

In before EEE (IBEEE).

Why couldn’t/shouldn’t Fae Wray be the Decider?

My question is whether Mueller dropping subpoenas on the Trump Org. is a defensive move in advance of the IG report and the hellfire that will bring, or if it’s an attempt to goad Trump into firing him. I think this McCabe issue fits in with either of those scenarios.

McCabe is proof the DOJ & FBI are as dirty as they come.
Same with Muller.
Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together has already figured out they are ALL lawless.
Whenever I hear from the media ‘they are above reproach’ I fully expect criminal behavior...think Muller.
Domestic enemies....

Make the prick sing like a zoo rookery in return for the pension.

If you read the Reuters article, it says that Jeff Sessions hid under his desk while McCabe met with the Attorney General Rod Rosenstein today. Okay, maybe I embellished a little bit. But I don’t feel bad about it.

So Sessions is known to be of good character, for the law and the constitution. If he doesn’t fire McCabe then I think it will speak volumes that he is not working behind the scenes helping Trump in some 3D chess game. He didn’t charge Lois Lerner either.

The divorce news today, the Mueller request for Trump Org records, Sessions mulling firing McCabe, rumors Kelly next to leave- just not looking good.

Sessions has been castrated.

The only reason McCabe wasn't fired early is so that he can get his pension. Mark my word, no firings.

Look at that POS Lois Lerner.

They can violate the law and abuse us and still we have to give them our money.

Time to burn Washing, DC.

Make Sessions do his job. If he doesn’t, the president must do his.

I saw that already. It's not the whole story.

This former FBI agent certainly doesn’t share the ‘don’t fire McCabe’ sentiment.

I'm trending here altho Mueller will criminalize DJTs business dealings if possible. So, Trump is on the horns of a dilemma. Thank you Jeff Sessions. Not.

Sessions is the swamp, prosecute him for obstructing justice. He is owned by the Clintons.

Donald says:

If the President is inclined to fire Sessions in any event, then the latter, by ignoring the OBR’s recommendation to fire McCabe, would be providing the President a ready-made excuse to do so.

Sessions fails to act at his peril.

I mean it’s extraordinary: MCCABE FIXED THE HILLARY INVESTIGATION, AND THEN FRAMED TRUMP!! Better have your pen ready, Jeff!!
