Another Deep Stater is deep-sixed:
Facing Republican attacks, FBI’s deputy director plans to retire early next year
Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s deputy director who has been the target of Republican critics for more than a year, plans to retire in a few months when he becomes fully eligible for pension benefits, according to people familiar with the matter.
McCabe spent hours in Congress this past week, facing questions behind closed doors from members of three committees. Republicans said they were dissatisfied with his answers; Democrats called it a partisan hounding…. McCabe’s role is being examined by the Justice Department’s inspector general, who has said a report on how the Clinton probe was handled should be finished by spring.
I very much doubt McCabe will make it to retirement. The article also mentions that the FBI’s top lawyer, James Baker, “has been reassigned.”
