    He was fired for leaking and lying.

    FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR)  reviewed the report and underlying documents and issued a disciplinary proposal recommending the dismissal of Mr. McCabe.  Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor—including under oath—on multiple occasions.

  • I wonder what's with the dismissal crap and why he's not in custody.

    At high levels you are given a get out of jail free card that is better than a platinum American Express.
    Who goes to jail? YOU go to jail.

    Yes, he should be charged with those crimes. They would charge me or you. They put Martha Stewart in prison for it.

    Jeff Sessions’ stunningly dishonest rationale for firing Andrew McCabe..that Sessions would cite an alleged lack of candor as a reason to fire McCabe just hours before the career FBI agent was to become eligible for his government pension is stunning, given his own repeated lack of candor during sworn testimony — dishonesty that led to Sessions recusing himself from the Russia investigation last year.

    Now, the attorney general — who has repeatedly been publicly pressured by President Trump to do more to stymie Trump’s political enemies — wants the American public to believe he fired McCabe because he’s concerned about integrity.

    A more likely motivation for McCabe’s firing was alluded to by President Trump in a tweet responding to the news — one in which he tried to discredit McCabe and his former boss, Jim Comey.

    McCabe was an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. He spent half of that time investigating "RUSSIAN" Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City. It comes into play with his firing too...

    Given that Comey testified to Congress that he was never a party to leaking or agreed to any leaking....and McCabe stated that Comey signed off on the leaking.....somebody is lying. Either McCabe or Comey or both.
