Disgraced Liar Andrew McCabe Gets Pension Restored by Justice Department Swamp

Back in March of 2018, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was fired from his job over a “lack of candor” (i.e. lying) under oath during questioning of whether McCabe was responsible for leaking classified details to the media concerning the Russian collusion hoax perpetrated against President Trump. On multiple occasions, McCabe denied leaking classified material, even letting then-FBI-Director James Comey claim under oath that McCabe had denied being involved in any leaks. Only later, did McCabe change his story and admit that he did leak the material and had denied doing so–under oath–which eventually led to his dismissal from the FBI by Attorney General Jeff Sessions after an Inspector General report disclosed his nefarious activities.

In short, Andrew McCabe deserved to lose his job and his pension. He misused and abused his power within a government agency intended to be objective arbiters of the law. McCabe is a poster boy for FBI corruption at the highest levels and he doesn’t deserve a dime of taxpayer money more than he already received on the public dole while working to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory.

However, the Biden administration, in a move that strikes an approving tone of using the Justice Department to attack your political enemies, has sought fit to restore McCabe’s pension and include hundreds of thousands of dollars in missed payments since his termination in 2018:

In a settlement deal disclosed Thursday, fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has had his government pension fully restored.

McCabe, 53, who has been a CNN contributor since 2019, had filed a lawsuit that year, claiming his firing was an effort by the Trump administration to rid the FBI of officials who were seen as disloyal to the then-president. Nearly a year before McCabe was ousted in March 2018, the Trump administration had terminated James Comey, who was the bureau’s director.

In McCabe’s case, the inspector general for the U.S. Justice Department, which oversees the FBI, concluded McCabe had OK’d the release of information to a newspaper reporter and then misled investigators who were seeking information about his role in the alleged leak, The Associated Press reported.

As noted, McCabe, a disgraced FBI agent caught lying under oath, has been a CNN contributor since 2019. What that says about CNN is probably worse than what it says about McCabe. The man is a political hack, a life-long Democratic strategist that posed as an FBI agent and used his power to attack a Republican he didn’t like and work to undermine faith in our democracy. If there is ever an example of why citizens don’t trust the government to ever hold anyone accountable for anything, this is it.

Here’s Andrew McCabe, appearing with his wife in 2015, Dr. Jill McCabe, as she campaigns as a Democrat for a state senate seat in Virginia:

Just look at Jill McCabe’s donor list back then and see all the big-time Democratic Party organizations pouring money into her losing campaign. McCabe is a partisan Democrat, a man who wears his politics on his sleeve and clearly hated the fact that Donald Trump won in 2016, so he joined the internal FBI effort to take him down with the Russia hoax and punish the country at the same time.

The bottom line here is the Joe Biden, and his Justice Department, have now given their seal of approval on the Russian collusion hoax and using the federal government as a tool to attack your political adversaries. Biden himself was involved in the hoax, that is documented, so it’s not surprising that McCabe, a soldier in the anti-Trump swamp, is getting a reward for his work.

McCabe’s record will be restored within the FBI and he will continue on into retirement despite the fact that he, and several others, including James Comey, should be sitting in a jail cell for treason:

The settlement deal reached this week vacates Sessions’ decision, removes from McCabe’s FBI record any references to having been fired, and restores his retirement money, according to the AP.

In a statement upon the disclosure of the deal, McCabe alleged that his firing was politically motivated.

“Politics should never play a role in the fair administration of justice and civil service personnel decisions,” McCabe’s statement said, according to the AP.

Everything Andrew McCabe did with regard to the Trump-Russia investigation was politically motivated. The FBI was using a phony dossier, paid for by Hillary Clinton, to tarnish the Trump campaign and anyone in Trump’s orbit. McCabe was in on the action of leaking material to the press when he needed to and then lying about it.

It’s a dark, dark day for an agency that has lost the trust of the American people. The FBI used to stand for integrity, now it stands as a tool of the Democratic Party and is a prime example of how the DC swamp protects itself from one Democratic administration to the next. If we have learned anything so far, it’s that Attorney General Merrick Garland is another part of the activist progressive wing of the Democratic Party, not the pragmatic “centrist” he was sold as by Obama and Biden.
