Reports are that Sessions made the decision.

Sessions is reclused from anything related to the Mueller investigation.

So, how is Sessions able to fire someone who might be a witness in the Mueller investigation (in regards to the firing of Comey)?

Also, I'd like to see the full IG report released. Until it is, we don't have all of the information about why this decision was made or if it was justified.

This is an excellent point.

One thing is for sure: McCabe is now a private citizen and free to say whatever he wants about the President and what he witnessed in the WH.

Actually, when you think about it, plenty of other people are too.

It bears repeating every time someone blames Trump. Evidently there were other complaints from a few years back about McCabe.

Someone on the Ingraham Angle stated that McCabe had a great career until he got mixed up with the Clintons and that the Clintons destroy everything they touch. Sad but true.

What bugs me is that the man could retire at age 50 and we taxpayers would foot the bill. That has got to stop across the board.

Moot point. McCabe has already proven himself an unreliable witness. He lied to investigators.

Do you think McCabe should be able to lie on multiple occasions while under oath?

Remember that General Flynn was prosecuted for lying under oath.
I have seen that he misled on his statements, I don't see Sessions statements. If he lied under oath that would be criminal charges, why isn't Session charging him.

Wow. Where did that come from? Trump plainly told Lester Holt why he fired Comey.

He may throw Comey under the bus.

McCabe is just a start soon there will be more and they will want a plea deal and roll on the others to get light sentences.
