McCabe to sue Trump admin for defamation, wrongful termination

FTFY

Is it wrongful termination when your boss talks shit about you the shitty way you’ve conducted your job? . Possibly it it's politically motivated. That’s a dangerous precedent.

McCabe’s wife took a typical sized donation fromCommon Good, a political PAC run by former Virginia Governor Terry Mcaullife, when she was running for VA state senate McCabe reported his wife's run for office to the FBI ethics department in writing the day his wife announced her candidacy and it was approved without any finding of conflict of interest He disclosed information to the press which was within his authority as deputy AG, then yelled at people under him for leaking that information because it was not within their authority. There is a substantial list of things one misconduct determination in the the OIG report, "lacking candor" with OIG investigators, that was the justification Sessions used to fire McCabe.

Also, in case you're interested in how FOX news messes with you, here's FOX news correcting itself several hours after they published the story about McCabe's financial disclosure omitting his wife income (which has nothing to do with campaign contributions)

"After this story was first published, an FBI spokesman provided an on-the-record statement to Fox News defending how McCabe's disclosure forms were handled:

"The rules instructing filers how to complete the OGE 278e form are published by the independent Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in a document titled 'The Public Financial Disclosure Form (July 2016).' The form does not require that an employee spouse's salary be disclosed; only the employer name and type of income required. Nor does the form require or contain a line for campaign contributions, which are not considered income. Rules governing campaign donations are overseen by the Federal Election Commission.

Each form submitted by an FBI employee to the OGE is certified by FBI's chief ethics officer, who heads the Office of Integrity and Compliance. Mr. McCabe consulted with this office upon his wife's decision to run for political office." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/15/fbi-official-did-not-disclose-wifes-ties-to-clinton-ally-records-show.html

But you still believe the story so their job was successful.
