Mueller knows Trump can't fire him without it looking like obstruction, so unfortunately it gives Mueller a license to be as corrupt as he wants.
But the rest of the FBI, will be drained.
I don't blame him, the GOP comes up with a new fantasy every day to make it as difficult as possible for the FBI to function. The problem is that this detracts from more important issues like terrorism.
"Fantasy"?
Piecing together the attempted coup isn't fantasy, though the coup sympathizers would have us believe it to be such.
McCabe obviously is trying to exit the stage quickly.
If I were in his shoes, I would do the same.
The dots are being connected daily, so this won't end the way deep state operatives at DOJ and FBI had hoped.
I expect that when the full truth comes out, we'll find dedicated FBI agents worked to expose the corruption from within.
“These new FBI documents show the FBI was more concerned about a whistleblower who told the truth about the infamous Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting than the scandalous meeting itself,”
Trump reacts to reports of FBI deputy director's retirement
Trump tweeted Saturday: "How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin' James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife's campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?"
McCabe's wife, Jill, did not get $700,000 in donations from Clinton for a Virginia state Senate race in 2015.
The donations came from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's political action committee and the Virginia Democratic Party before McCabe was promoted to deputy director and a supervisory role in the Clinton email investigation.
Everyone knows McAuliffe doesn't breathe unless the Clinton's let him. He's Bill's "best friend." Don't be surprised if McCabe turns up on the Elect Terry McAuliffe presidential campaign committee if he's not in prison.
"Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's brother Anthony Rodham are facing a $17 million fraud lawsuit from Chinese investors in Greentech Automotive, an electric car company that appears to be struggling to survive. A group of 32 Chinese citizens filed the suit last week in Fairfax County, Virginia court, claiming that they were swindled out of about $560,000 apiece as a result of misrepresentations made by McAuliffe and Rodham—two of the most prominent and politically connected proponents of the venture aimed at manufacturing electric cars in the U.S."
So, please don't pretend the McAuliffe/Clinton connection as not all that. You know, the question is why would McAuliffe give a pediatrician (McCabe's wife, Jill) all that money to run for office.
But back to McCabe...
The issue with McCabe is what was Strzok and his mistress planning in his office to thwart Trump.
When the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) part of the Russian collusion hearings were held by the Senate Intelligence Committee in an open session in the summer, McCabe (FBI), Rosenstein (DOJ), Coats (DNI) and Rogers (NSA) testified together. Rosenstein, pretty much controlled what McCabe had to say, because of the FBI being under the DOJ. Rosenstein even made a point of telling his inquisitors that. I know because I watched it. McCabe was shaky but I've attended (audience) one of those type of things and who wouldn't be? Point being, he may have been shaky at the closed door hearing for the same reason he was shaky with the FISA testimony...he's just a shaky kind of guy when he has to testify. Or, he was shaky at the first hearing because he knew the Clinton/DNC opposition research dossier was how the FBI got its warrant.
While I think McCabe should spend the next 3 months in Fargo, North Dakota, I think if he worked the required number of years for the feds and he's the right age, he deserves his pension. He's been with the FBI since 1996 (21 years). No one made him the acting FBI director. It automatically went to him when Comey was let go because McCabe was second in command. That doesn't mean he shouldn't have to do time if what he's accused of, is true. But, he earned his pension.
