https://www.ajc.com/news/national/why-was-andrew-mccabe-fired-what-know-now/IYA33cIgoveefWOycjvcDP/Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired Andrew McCabe late Friday, hours before the former assistant director of the FBI was to retire.
Sessions said in a statement that McCabe was let go for lacking candor under oath in misleading investigators about the fact that he authorized a conversation between FBI employees and The Wall Street Journal.
While some are pointing to a vindictive strike at McCabe from President Donald Trump McCabe took James Comeys side following Comeys firing last year others say McCabe was forthcoming with information requested of him by the FBIs inspector general.
Here is what we know about McCabes firing.
We know more now.

About McCabes firing:
Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!

Truth will out
Sister Maxine was right from day one.
ITTMF!

(5,270 posts)There were 5 corroborating witnesses that Comey reported his concerns to after Trump meeting and they have all left under duress except David Bowdich who was promoted by Christopher Wray and fired Strzok. Bowdich seems to have never been involved in Russian criminal investigations while working for FBI while the others had many years of experience specializing in Russian matters.
