Nearly a year before Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired senior FBI official Andrew McCabe for what Sessions called a "lack of candor," McCabe oversaw a federal criminal investigation into whether Sessions lacked candor when testifying before Congress about contacts with Russian operatives, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Quote:
One source told ABC News that Sessions was not aware of the investigation when he decided to fire McCabe last Friday less than 48 hours before McCabe, a former FBI deputy director, was due to retire from government and obtain a full pension, but an attorney representing Sessions declined to confirm that.
Quote:
According to the sources, McCabe authorized the criminal inquiry after a top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, and then-Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., wrote a letter in March 2017 to the FBI urging agents to investigate "all contacts" Sessions may have had with Russians, and "whether any laws were broken in the course of those contacts or in any subsequent discussion of whether they occurred."
Sounds to me that if Session's was aware, McCabe probably has some ammunition when he takes his case to the Merit Systems Protection Board. If there's one whiff of bias on the part of the firing official, the claimant will generally win their case.
Sessions can take a hike too. To hear he was going to be Trump's nominee for AG, told me everything I needed to know about Trump's commitment to liberty. Namely, that it doesn't exist.
Anytime I'd hear a libertarian type advocate for Trump, I would remind them of who he wants to lead the DoJ.

So as long as these sleazy conspiring bastards are investigating their bosses they can never be fired?
We are, but we've abdicated our responsibility in our government. We either don't vote or vote without being informed. Or we're semi-informed, but with biases based often on false pretexts and propaganda. This is the case with a consolidated mainstream media, as well as the crackpot gutter of Alex Jones and other hacks operating out of their basements who are presented as an alternative.
We give the crooks we like free passes for screwing us, and when they do, justify it with past instances of us being screwed by crooks we don't like.
As such, it's not much of an authority we have anymore.

so under Comey and McCabe they never investigated the CIA and Brennard for lying under oath and James Clapper for spying on Americans and flat-out lying about it under oath but McCabe wanted to criminally investigate Sessions for his confirmation hearing?

It's harder when their bosses are sleazy conspiring bastards.
