In a statement, AG Sessions cited the reports of the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility DOJ’s Inspector General as the basis for his decision to terminate McCabe.
McCabe says attack on him was part of larger effort to taint FBI
In response, McCabe said Pres. Trump called for his firing to take away his pension after more than 20 years of service.
“Here is the reality: I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey,” according to McCabe.
This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally. It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue this day,” he added.
