Fox News: Andrew McCabe Suing DOJ Over Firing, Wants Pension, Benefits Back

EXCERPT:

FISHER: "Hey, Martha. Well, this is the second time this week that a former FBI official has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit. First Peter Strzok and now Andrew McCabe. The former acting FBI director is suing the Bureau and the Justice Department for firing him just two days before his retirement. McCabe claims it was illegally orchestrated by President Trump as part of a purge of sorts to rid the Bureau of leaders he perceived as disloyal. And the lawsuit singles out the current FBI director Christopher Wray and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions for essentially carrying out the President’s wishes. 'Trump demanded Plaintiff's (McCabe’s) personal allegiance, he sought retaliation when Plaintiff refused to give it, and Sessions, Wray, and others served as Trump's personal enforcers rather than the nations's highest law enforcement officials, catering to Trump's unlawful whims instead of honoring their oaths to uphold the Constitution.' Now, so far the Justice Department and the FBI have declined a comment on the lawsuit, but remember, McCabe was fired after a Justice Department Inspector General report found that McCabe had repeatedly misstated his involvement in a leak to the media about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation. The report said McCabe acted to advance his own personal interests at the expense of justice leadership. At the time, McCabe denied any wrongdoing, but Martha, now he is suing to get his full pension and benefits back."
