Another anti-Trump FBI official steps down
Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe today officially stepped down from his post two months before he had planned to retire.
There have been numerous stories about McCabe (who has definite partisan connections to the Democratic Party) as a leaker and as maybe the instigator of the underground effort at the FBI to sabotage the results of the 2016 election.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

Vote to release the “Memo” this afternoon?
The Leftist medias counter to this Memo will be interesting, totally predictable but it will be interesting how they attempt to turn sedition and treason and the subversion of the Constitution into something that tastes good to the American public.
And many in the public will eat it up and find it palatable. McCabe is just the beginning, wait until it reaches Obama and it becomes plain who and what he is.
The problem is people know who Obama is and don’t care because they were never part of the melting pot. There is no instigator, just fellow anti-American travelers that have been invading this country since before I was born, but accelerated after 1965.
Is it supposed to be better if the FBI is only populated by pro-Trump partisans?
BSJ:
Who here or any place else for that matter has suggested that the FBI now only be only populated by Trump partisans? Where does that come from?
Reports I’ve read say that he has enough days saved up to be able to take terminal leave which will stretch until his full retirement eligibility, with some sources saying that this has been his plan since last fall.
Wish I had time to verify the details, but as I understand it, there is a limit to the number of days of leave one can carry forward, and therefore a limit to the number of days one can take for terminal leave. I want to say it used to be 45 days in the case of the military, and even if that still applies, and also applies to a DOJ employee, I don’t know what day in March he will be eligible for retirement.
I’d be willing to waive the limit to get him out of there immediately, but I still have a problem letting someone retire without being sure there is nothing criminal that should him ineligible for a pension.
I wonder if by leaving now he complicates any prosecution that may affect his retirement eligibility. One can always be recalled from leave, but the procedures for doing so might complicate things enough to make recall/making him ineligible for a pension impossible from a practical standpoint.
I’m sure his lawyers know the answers
Gary, I don’t know how things have changed in the ensuing decades, but back when I served you could carry 60 days of leave into the new calendar year, and could theoretically accrue up to 90 days of unused leave by the end of the following year. My discharge date was in mid to late November, so I saved enough days to be able to begin my terminal leave in late August, in order to start the fall term at university.
This Washington’s Post story is relevant: Internal Justice Department probe eyes McCabe’s role in final weeks of 2016 election

Guess what? (I find this to be more than a coincidence)

Guess who general Cartwright’s grandson is?
Peter Strzok’s. (Yes, that Peter Strzok)
And apparently the Strzok family has expertise in nuclear energy, you know, like what they use uranium in.
Cotour, small world? Current Deputy Attorney General and then U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein prosecuted General Cartwright.
IMO every case that these FBI and DOJ leaders have been involved in now can come into question. What would these actors not do? Where is their line? Did they have a line?
If you are willing to usurp the election of a United States president and pervert your sworn fiduciary duty and our American Constitution do you have a line? They apparently can talk themselves into anything, and that must be dealt with.
BSJ, Comments like this…

…represent a profound, a seriously profound, ignorance of American traditions. We have a choice. We can respect elections, or we can be treasonous. Nobody is demanding the FBI be pro-Trump. But we have every right to expect them not to be seditious. New elections will come. Until then the offices and laws of this country should be respected.
The garbage that CA has become is what some want for the rest of the country. It’s not going to happen. A good SOTU tonight.
Have no doubt that attempting to delegitimize Trump’s election is treason. It has nothing to do with liking Trump or not. It is entirely about respect for the country. The Antifa crowd hates America. The never-Trumpers also hate America because they do understand what our founders gave us.
