FBI DIRECTOR: Andrew McCabe Was Fired ‘BY THE BOOK’ for Violating Procedures

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.21.18

The Director of the FBI Christopher Wray pushed back Wednesday against recent accusations that Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was fired over political partisanship, saying he runs the bureau “by the book” and free of “politics.”

Wray was speaking with NBC News when he was asked to respond to accusations President Trump pressured the director to remove McCabe because of his relationship to the Democratic party; saying his agency is completely “independent.”

“It’s been reported that you threatened to resign over being urged to fire people. Is that correct?” asked the NBC News reporter.

“I have been very clear from the minute I was nominated to the minute I walked in the door to countless opportunities since then, that I am unwaveringly committed to doing this job by the book, independently, following our rules, our processes free from political partisanship,” fired-back Wray.

ADAM’S ADMISSION: Schiff ADMITS McCabe’s FIRING ‘May Be Justified’

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.19.18

Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff acknowledged Sunday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to suddenly fire FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe “may be justified,” seconds before calling the move “tainted.”

Schiff was speaking with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos when he was asked to comment on Sessions’ abrupt removal of the senior FBI official just days before he was due to retire.

“On Andrew McCabe, does the fact that the Inspector General did find that he lacked candor in some of his responses, and that his firing was recommended by career FBI officials. Does that suggest that his firing was or may be justified?” asked Stephanopoulos.

“His firing may be justified, there’s no way for us to know at this point,” admitted Schiff. “Even though it may have been justified, it can also be tainted.”

“I think the President badgering his Attorney General, his urging that he be fired before his pension could vest, and the fact that McCabe and every other Comey associates […] every one of them has been targeted by the administration,” he added.

Watch Schiff’s admission above.

BOMBSHELL REPORT: FBI’s McCabe Behind CLINTON INVESTIGATION Leaks in 2016

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.02.18

Former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe was reportedly behind the illegal leaks regarding Hillary Clinton’s ongoing email investigation in 2016, releasing sensitive material to the Wall Street Journal ahead of the US presidential election.

According to a bombshell story in the New York Times, an upcoming report from the DOJ’s Inspector General is expected to blame McCabe for the unprecedented amount of leaks originating in the bureau ahead of Election Day.

“A Justice Department review is expected to criticize the former F.B.I. deputy director, Andrew G. McCabe, for authorizing the disclosure of information about a continuing investigation to journalists, according to four people familiar with the inquiry,” writes the Times.

“It is unclear whether the inspector general will identify others who spoke about the Clinton investigation. But Mr. McCabe is by far the most prominent subject,” the article adds.

The revelation comes as the FBI enters another month marred in controversy.

The bureau has been the focus of Congressional investigators for weeks following Rep. Devin Nunes’ explosive FISA memo last month; alleging the agency used Clinton-financed material to spy on senior Trump associates.
