Former FBI Spokesman Says McCabe’s ‘Lack of Candor’ Is ‘Unforgivable’

Although “there [are] many things that can be forgiven” within the nation’s pre-eminent law enforcement agency, a “lack of candor” and “not telling the truth” are “unforgivable,” former FBI national spokesperson John Iannarelli said Thursday night on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

“The reality is that in the FBI there [are] many things that can be forgiven, yet punished. But lack of candor — not telling the truth — is unforgivable,” said Iannarelli (shown above left). “And there are no exceptions.”

Iannarelli was reacting to reports that the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) recommended to Attorney General Jeff Sessions this week that he fire former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe before the latter’s pension begins Sunday.

The Department of Justice Inspector General (IG) concluded that McCabe, who oversaw the investigation into 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s private email server, reportedly misled investigators during their investigation into his conduct.

McCabe announced his resignation early in January reportedly to avoid a demotion. Should Sessions fire McCabe and withhold his pension, Iannarelli said it would send “a good message when there [have] been leadership problems at times in the FBI that no one can escape their responsibilities to their job.”

How about a SP following the money of the Clinton Foundation and GPS Fusion? That would produce sunlight that would scorch all the right people.

According to Fox News, McCabe would still receive his pension even if he were fired. He would only lose it if he was found to have committed a crime. Sessions may as well go ahead and fire him and make an example of him, he has the cover of the IG recommendation.

Trump needs to step up to the plate on this one and fire both Sessions and McCabe.

what is even more unforgivable is that McCabe has not been fired I want to hear the reasoning behind failure to fire him.

Trump needs to deal with McCabe. The deal: Pension for proof against Obama and Hillary.
