FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe Steps Down!

Interesting timing here, no?

According to this, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is stepping down. He’s currently on leave and will officially retire in March.

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is retiring from the FBI, CBS News’ Pat Milton has confirmed. According to Milton, a source familiar with the matter confirms that McCabe was urged to step down. He is currently on leave and will officially retire in March.

McCabe was under considerable scrutiny from Republicans, as special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling and any ties to Trump associates continued. McCabe took temporary charge of the FBI after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey earlier this year, and some skeptics viewed McCabe as too close to his former boss.

After the president fired Comey, he asked McCabe, who was then the acting FBI director, whom he voted for in the 2016 presidential election. Mr. Trump also expressed his anger with McCabe over his wife’s ties to the Clinton family during the same meeting in May, the Washington Post reported last week.

People don’t know what to think.

A source confirmed to Fox News that McCabe is taking “terminal leave” – effectively taking vacation until he reaches his planned retirement in a matter of weeks. As such, he will not be reporting to work at the FBI anymore. https://t.co/BsT50w8taD

FBI Deputy Director, Andrew McCabe has resigned from the FBI prior to the anticipated memo being released. Do you think he is complicit in the obstruction against the President?

BREAKING: FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is stepping down after mounting attacks from Trump and conservatives.

Trump and his cronies are doing everything possible to undermine Mueller and his investigation into Trump. Sad!

I reiterate that the Memo (which I have seen) is very important.

Andrew McCabe just resigned because of the Memo.

Andrew McCabe was targeted unfairly by Republicans. Why is the R party discrediting DOJ and FBI? Simple, some of them are afraid of the incriminating information Mueller will find on THEM AND TRUMP!

Dream on.

News: Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s departure came as a surprise, even to some expecting his March retirement. One source told @CNN that today’s departure was not in the plans as of Friday.

I haven't been this excited since President Trump won on November 8th, 2016!

FBI Direcor Wray saw the "memo" yesterday, "Andrew McCabe" steps down today. Are they connected?
