FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was forced to resign Monday, just as the House Intelligence Committee is expected to vote on the public release of a classified memo this afternoon revealing extensive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse under the Obama administration, sources told this reporter.

McCabe apparently lashed out to his colleagues when he was told he would be asked to resign, according to sources. FBI Director Christopher Wray viewed the four-page memo on Sunday, sources familiar with the discussions said.

McCabe, who is facing three federal inquiries for conflicts-of-interest during his time at the FBI, is one of the numerous names mentioned in the classified memo detailing FISA abuse, according to sources who reviewed the memo.

The federal inquiries into allegations against McCabe, who was expected to resign in March, are based on documents and interviews conducted by this reporter over the past year and range from sexual discrimination to improper political activity.

McCabe, a central figure in the ongoing Russia investigation against Trump, is also part of the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s ongoing review into the FBI’s handling of former Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to send classified information.

Current and former FBI officials said McCabe’s resignation is the beginning of more resignations to come.

“There are people lining up in the bureau to go after McCabe,” said a former FBI official, with knowledge. “There will be a clean up at the Bureau of his cronies.”

According to several U.S. officials, McCabe’s government communications were collected as part of the ongoing DOJ Inspector General investigation, which is expected to be completed by March.

The classified memo is considered “explosive and shocking” and hundreds of Republican members and only a dozen or so Democrats have taken the opportunity to review the report in a secured area, according to congressional sources. The memo also contains information that suggests Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein reauthorized warrants based in part on the unverified dossier to gather communications on former Trump advisor Carter Page, sources said.

Oh no! Some liberal rag says the memo is nothing. I stand corrected.

Hahahahahaha!

The Democrat Party thrives on morons like you believing their bullshit.

reply

Read it again. It explains in great detail (and that's where it loses you, huh?) about FISA and how it is administered. And then how this memo is nothing. Just another distraction from the T-rump investigation, which means T-rump is feeling the heat once again.

reply

"Read it again."

Unlike you, I can grasp the written word the first time I read it.

As I said, just liberal spin. If it was so harmless, the Democrats wouldn't be fighting to keep it secret from the American people.

reply

One of the big potential issues is that a FISA warrant is usually 50+ pages. If this memo is anything under 10 it is likely cherry picked in such a way that it is completely misleading.

reply

I can't believe the Rethuglikkan party - so concerned over Hillary's email server - is willing to jeopardize confidential /classified information by releasing this FISA warrant. Are they out of their minds? (Yes, they are).

I'm so tired of this kind of hypocritical 'winning'.

reply

"The Democrat Party thrives on morons like you believing their bullshit."

Also once again I'll add that this is rich considering Trump's political career was launched by heading the completely non-sensical (and racist) birther movement.

reply

"The House approved the release of the FISA memo. It just need to be declassified and Trump's approval."

This gets released, but T-rump's tax returns do not?

Something is very wrong with this picture.

reply

"This gets released, but T-rump's tax returns do not?"

Sunshine laws. The People have a right to see what their government is up to.

But they don't have a right to see into someone's personal taxes.

You sound scared. There must be a good reason why none of the Democrats want the American people to see what's been going on behind the scenes.

The Democrat Party thrives on morons like you believing their bullshit.

reply

I sound scared? How? There's no audio on the forum. All I did was type a response asking why T-rump released this but not his taxes - yet.

reply

"I sound scared? How? There's no audio on the forum."

Still a fucking retard.

reply

By the way, this is a perfect example of how you post on here.

Starts off with a semi-valid point - Trump making public the memo while keeping his taxes private.

But when I point out the actual laws involved, suddenly you want to talk about the meaning of the word 'sound', and how you're not scared.

Such a vapid mind.

The Democrat Party thrives on morons like you believing their bullshit.

reply

OK, thanks for that!

reply

You're welcome.

By the way, that was an invite to return to the actual discussion.

But you're obviously not interested in that. You'd rather just bloviate stupidity.

The Democrat Party thrives on morons like you believing their bullshit.

reply

Trump wants that memo released so Putin can read how the FBI surveils people. Ironic how these folks fussed and cussed about Hillary sending classified emails on her server (which was not hacked) yet these fvckers want to release classified information to the entire world. Ridiculous!

reply

That's exactly what the Russians want, and that is what he's giving them. Can you believe what his sheeple are allowing and approving?

And the fact that he's going after the justice system in our country - with all people hand-picked by him!

The Raving Loony Fake News MSM tries to link Nunes to the Ruskies!

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/31/democrats-ramping-up-attacks-on-house-intel-chairman-devin-nunes-as-fisa-memo-nears-release/

MSNBC analyst John Heilemann asked two Democratic lawmakers in separate interviews on Tuesday whether Nunes was “compromised by the Russians” or a “Russian agent.”

“[Nunes is] behaving like someone who’s been compromised, and there are people in the intelligence community, and others with great expertise in this area, who look at him and say, ‘That guy’s been compromised,'” he said.

The tactic was reminiscent of Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook first suggesting on-air in July 2016 that Trump was colluding with Russia.

reply

If you google "Nunes memo", you see the Lying Scumbag MSM report that Nunes secretly modified the memo he gave to Trump!

Reputable sources explain that Schiff is another Raving Lying Lunatic elected by Democraps:
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/371756-schiff-accuses-nunes-of-sending-trump-edited-memo

According to Schiff, after comparing the two versions "it is clear" that Republicans "made material changes to the version it sent to the White House, which Committee Members were never apprised of, never had the opportunity to review and never approved."

Jack Langer, the spokesman for Nunes, said in a statement that Schiff's letter amounted to another "strange attempt to thwart publication of the memo."

"In its increasingly strange attempt to thwart publication of the memo, the Committee Minority is now complaining about minor edits to the memo, including grammatical fixes and two edits requested by the FBI and by the Minority themselves," Langer said. "The vote to release the memo was absolutely procedurally sound, and in accordance with House and Committee rules. To suggest otherwise is a bizarre distraction from the abuses detailed in the memo, which the public will hopefully soon be able to read for themselves."

Another Democrat has mental breakdown! CNN is a kook magnet.

Breitbart scoops the MSM again, the Hill was second.

Dem senator: Nunes memo ‘reminiscent of the darkest days of the McCarthy era’
http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/371768-dem-senator-nunes-memo-reminiscent-of-the-darkest-days-of-the-mccarthy-era

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) compared House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes's (R-Calif.) move to make a memo on surveillance at the Department of Justice (DOJ) public to former Sen. Joseph McCarthy's (R-Wis.) aggressive probe of suspected communists in the 1950s.

"The release of this memo is really reminiscent of the darkest days of the McCarthy era, with character assassinations," Blumenthal told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."

"It endangers methods and sources of the intelligence community, and it reflects an effort to distract from the [Robert] Mueller investigation," he continued, referring to the special counsel probing alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia's election meddling.

reply

Trump wants the entire GOP to follow him down the rabbit hole to protect him from Mueller, and they are lining up. No other republican could doom their party as much as Trump can, and they will follow him and his 30% approval right into the dirt.

Mueller has Bannon, Manafort and Papadopoulos spilling their guts. What does the money-launderer-in-chief have?... A release-the-memo campaign that is heavily backed by the Russian government. Yeah, that'll get Mueller off Trump's back all right. lol.

Loony Left talking points! Today's the day we find out.

This whole thing started with Carter Page meeting with Kislyak. After he got popped for it, he kept going to Russia and admitted to talking to the same Russian officials. Carter Page deserved every renewal of every warrant against him. He was the poster boy for surveillance. The Trumptard White House is trying to use those renewals of those warrants as evidence that Carter Page was under surveillance too much. In order to do that, the JD has to release sensitive information related to how the FISA court operates.
