As we urged on Friday, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe was fired on Friday. This move came not at the urging of President Trump, but on the recommendation of the FBI's own Office of Professional Responsibility, which said McCabe had been unethical and dishonest in his actions concerning several Clinton-related investigations.
We also told you the Beltway crowd and the chattering classes would blow a gasket over the timing, because by taking the action on Friday instead of waiting until today, Attorney General Jeff Sessions prevented McCabe from reaching the date when he would have been eligible for a lifetime federal pension. McCabe himself came out on Saturday with a long, public personal statement that claimed the whole thing was a political attack on him and the FBI by the Trump Administration.
