Too much turbulent water under the bridge. Former FBI agents and officials agree: Former FBI agent Fred Humphries calls McCabe firing justified:
Humphries said McCabe’s firing was good for the organization because it is important for top officials to be held accountable for the same transgressions agents like him are. The McCabe firing is fitting, Humphries says, for a man accused of lack of candor about media contacts whose office launched an investigation into him talking to a newspaper.Clarice Feldman: If You Are a Fed Official, Perjury Is 'Lacking Candor'. Why isn't McCabe getting the Michael Flynn treatment? There's still plenty of time. Retired FBI Agent to NPR On McCabe Firing: 'Lack Of Candor Is A Serious Offense'
"Every employee of the FBI voluntarily swears to observe the bureau’s strict standards of conduct, especially in terms of candor and ethics," said Humphries. "When we fall short of that, we can expect appropriate sanctions. Yesterday’s firing of the former deputy director demonstrates that those sanctions are meted out uniformly, regardless of rank or position."
MARTIN: How does the timing sit with you? I mean, does it look vindictive to you?Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom: Sigh of relief at FBI after McCabe fired
GAGLIANO: It would if this was being launched from the White House. But I have the utmost trust and confidence in the IG's office. Now, whether you're on the job for two days, Michel, or whether you're two days away from retirement, it doesn't matter. Lack of candor is a serious offense. I don't believe that President Trump could have, should have, would have had any impact on the IG's report.

On the other hand: Marco Rubio: McCabe “Should’ve Been Allowed To Finish Through The Weekend”, Sessions’ Firing McCabe Violated His Promise to Recuse Nope, he was fired for his perjury (let's call it what it was) in the Clinton investigation, not the Mueller probe. The Rush Is On To Save McCabe’s Retirement Andrea Mitchell Suggests How Andrew McCabe Can Save His Pension; Dem. Rep. Follows Through. I don't remember them worrying about Mueller breaking Michael Flynn financially. In fact, they kind of crowed about it. Why the press defends McCabe's crime:
If he were a Trump supporter, the press would be all over McCabe because his wife received $700,000 from a Clinton crony while McCabe headed the FBI's Fake Investigation of Hillary.McCabe and Mr. Mueller, McCabe just made life tough for Comey and the special counsel:
But he does not face the music. He is a source. And the press defends its sources no matter how much they lie.
However, McCabe may have rectified his “singled out” status with his long statement criticizing his termination: In the middle of it is a line that could be viewed as incriminating fired FBI director James Comey, not just in leaking sensitive information but also in lying to Congress.Yep, perjury.
McCabe is accused of misleading investigators about allegedly giving information to a former Wall Street Journal reporter about the investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family’s charitable foundation. McCabe asserts in his post-firing statement that he not only had authority to “share” that information to the media but did so with the knowledge of “the director.” The FBI director at the time was Comey.
. . .
If the “interaction” means leaking the information, then McCabe’s statement would seem to directly contradict statements Comey made in a May 2017 congressional hearing. Asked if he had “ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation” or whether he had “ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation,” Comey replied “never” and “no.”

Wow, watch Comey lie under oath to Senator G when asked “have you ever been an anonymous source...or known someone else to be an anonymous source...?” He said strongly “never, no.” He lied as shown clearly on @foxandfriends.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2018
Mueller Has Sent Questions For Trump To The White House. I hope the White House would put him under oath and ask him some questions. President Trump is the head of the executive branch, and lying to him is equivalent to lying to the FBI or DOJ.

The Coming Collusion Bloodbath
There was collusion in the election of 2016. It involved Russians, a British ex-spy, law firms, FBI agents, DOJ attorneys, an FBI director that prejudged evidence, an Attorney General that had an unethical meeting with the spouse of a target, FISA warrants obtained on faulty information that stemmed from political sources, a Deputy Director whose wife received monetary support in an election, an FBI director who lied to Congress, an FBI Deputy Director who lied to the Justice Department’s Inspector General, loads of classified materials that were mishandled and criminally passed to those without clearances, and partisan hacks spearheading inquiries aiming for political outcomes. The scope of this collusion is overwhelming, the attempts are a damning indictment of political operatives that have lost all integrity, and sadly an administration, a major political party, and agents of a deep state that attempted in a wide sweeping number of ways to undo an election that they lost.Prequel – Reminder of The ‘Big Picture’ in Summary…
The FBI group was participating in a plan to exonerate Hillary Clinton. That same FBI group was simultaneously conducting opposition research on candidate Donald Trump and the larger construct of his campaign team. Those FBI officials were allied by entities outside official government structures. The ‘outside group’ were “contractors”. It is likely one of the contractors was Fusion-GPS or entities in contact with Fusion-GPS. {Go Deep}Meet Hillary Clinton’s Other, Much More Powerful and Shadowy Oppo Research Firm and find the British MI6 meddling in our elections too.
The contractors were using FBI intelligence databases to conduct opposition research “searches” on Trump campaign officials. This is where the use of FISA-702(16)(17) “To/From” and “About” queries comes in. {Go Deep} This FISA abuse was the allowed but unofficial process identified in early 2016 by NSA internal auditors.
SAVAGE mic drop! Dana Loesch BLISTERS Brennan, uses his tweet to absolutely OBLITERATE Obama
When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you. https://t.co/uKppoDbduj

Perhaps not the best approach when trying to assuage Americans’ concerns over the politicization of intelligence agencies. https://t.co/WdO6IKJx8l— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) March 17, 2018
