Andrew McCabe was the number-two man at the FBI during the years disgraced former Director James Comey was in charge. He was a critical part of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation targeting the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. He took part in the FBI’s misrepresentations to a secret foreign surveillance court when it wrongly wiretapped former campaign aide Carter Page. And he was found, by the Justice Department’s own inspector general, to have lied repeatedly to investigators looking into his leaks to the media during the Hillary Clinton email investigation. For that, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on March 16, 2018.
As a result of his firing, just before his scheduled retirement, he received a smaller pension than he otherwise would have. Plus, he didn’t get retirement things such as FBI Senior Executive Service cufflinks and a plaque with his FBI badge on it. McCabe wanted it all back — plus, he wanted the department to expunge any record of his ever having been fired. Like it never happened.
Now the department has settled McCabe’s suit and agreed to pay him $200,000 in back pension benefits. They’re giving him the cufflinks and the plaque — and they are expunging his record of any mention of that firing unpleasantness. Just for good measure, the FBI — that would mean you, the taxpayer — is also paying McCabe’s lawyers $539,000 in fees.
Some will be outraged at the money settlement, but the most outrageous part is the Justice Department’s decision to remove McCabe’s firing from his FBI record — to memory hole the entire thing as far as McCabe’s record is concerned.
It is no small thing to lie to investigators repeatedly while under oath. For that, McCabe was fired.
But now, you won’t find any mention of that in the McCabe file at the FBI. The Biden Justice Department has made sure of that.

Disgusting. But with Biden and the rest of these corrupt Leftist toadies in charge of the DOJ, FBI, etc, etc, we should expect nothing else but this.
McCabe will now be crowned with glory.
I’m surprised that Durham hasn’t been fired yet.
But I’m sure his “investigation” will result in a great, big nothingburger.
