    I hope this is accurate, the source I saw was WaPo, so no faith there. I have deleted Drudge, & have been using Citizen Free Press among others. I saw reports on Paul Ryan retiring as well. The swamp is draining.

    This is the only way to stop corruption in the deep state. It needs to go further. Someone needs to go to jail. That'll clean up the swamp like nothing else.

    Hopefully this will be just the beginning of bringing to the fore the conspiracy of high level FBI officials and others in the Justice Department who have attempted to violate the will of the people with their election of Donald Trump. Next up should be Jim Comey, Loretta Lynch, and anyone else involved.

    He wont lose his pension. I don't think even Trump will allow that.

    Reduced a little bit, a fine, etc...

    That OIG report must be something else.

    He abused his position as an impartial FBI man and became political and from what I have heard he lied to the FBI Inspector General and other FBI investigators, plus he leaked to the press. He will be lucky if he only loses his pension, perhaps there will also be a criminal referral.

    I agree he deserves to lose it plus even imprisonment if national security was at stake.

    But in any case and IMO he won't lose his total pension and he wont go to jail.

    This story really is getting interesting.

    Report: McCabe Threatened to ‘Take People Down With Him if Fired’

    Fox News reporter Adam Housley is tweeting like crazy on this. This appears to be much deeper and much more corrupt that anyone realized. And not partisan. Housley doesn't seem to be a fan of Trump or the Dems. I appears we have some really bad people at the top of some orgs. From the article:

    Housley posted many tweets and replies about McCabe’s firing. A selection of those tweets is included in this report.

    Friday at 9:03 a.m. PDT by the Los Angeles based Housley, “A bunch of FBI agents I know are watching how McCabe is handled very closely. For them this isn’t political, it was about how things were handled internally.”

    7:13 p.m. PDT minutes after news broke of McCabe’s firing, “From day 1 I have said the McCabe issue was not about politics for agents. This began before Trump was elected and there are many who were watching how the Bureau handledhim. Tonight…a message has been sent according to the agents I am speaking with. McCabe is our.”

    7:23 p.m. PDT: “McCabe blaming Nunes and the dossier is beyond incorrect. The internal investigation took all that into consideration and much more. Ask the agents in the bureau, not the politicians and media outside of it. That’s what I did. They had a ton of stuff on him…a ton.”

    7:31 p.m. PDT: “McCabe had some friends as part of his group. Some have left…a few are still around. FYI”

    7:32 p.m. PDT: “Again…this isn’t about politics..this was an internal thing that became political. It started before Trump. Both sides are tho going to make this political. I mean…that’s what they do.”

    7:56 p.m. PDT: “And there is much more. But leave it to some of my colleagues in the media to immediately make it political. RT @debz526: @calvindanielsll @Put2sleep0066 @adamhousley The totality of what McCabe has done hasn’t been disclosed to the public.”

    8:25 p.m. PDT: “could care less about Trump and Sessions. According to my sources, who are beyond question, there is much more. This isn’t about Trump. This was about control and business as usual for a few”

    8:30 p.m. PDT: “Wray and McCabe’s meeting did not go well and it was McCabe who challenged the Director. McCabe stepped down because of this and tried to ride it out until retirement. Truth internally came out before that happened. This has nothing to do with Trumps tweets or Nunes memo”

    8:31 p.m. PDT: “I am told yesterday McCabe felt the heat and went to try and save his last two days and even told some he would take people down with him if he as fired. So…let’s see what comes of this. I know this…a ton of agents…a ton…were watching this very closely.”

    8:34 p.m. PDT: “This was about power by a group within the FBI. A clique. I see Republicans already making this political and tying it in a much different way than it was. Dems tying it to Trump…both would be wrong.”

    8:42 p.m. PDT: “This decision will encourage agents to trust coming forward. Others who had during the clique’s time in charge got buried and mistreated and it kept agents from coming forward. Again..this began before Trump. It was about control.”

    8:47 p.m. PDT: “Happy RT @HappyGoldenRule: @adamhousley Are they mad or happy about the firing?”

    8:49 p.m.PDT: “As a reporter I will repeat this once more. I could care less if this helps Trump, or helps politically in any way. I just know a ton of men and women in the FBI who do damn good work and they were watching how this clique would be handled. McCabe has many who do not support”

    8:50 p.m. PDT: “I am saying agents have told me of a small group of people we’re all about control and they were even tough on their own internally. It had agents not wanting to talk and it started before Trump.”

    8:51 p.m. PDT: “I am saying this started before that. What they did and what it became will be revealed in the full report.”​

    Very curious who McCabe is now going to take down with him. Apparently this mess started long before Trump arrived on the scene.

    If he's a corrupt as this reporter implies, he's losing a lot more than a pension.

    His wife was running for the Senate from Virginia and took lots of money from Clinton bag man Terry McAwlful and McCbae forgot to inform his superiors about that salient fact. The moral of this story is that when one get's hooked up with the Clinton machine, bad things can happen to you. He is deserving of everything that is happening to him.

    I’m torn. Will this help or hurt his book sales?! Ah well, he can use the money for his legal fees.
