The truth about the McCabe firing...now why would he do that?

What’s the truth?

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe upon a recommendation from the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility to terminate McCabe’s employment.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the OPR made the recommendation based on findings from IG Horowitz’s investigation, who discovered McCabe “authorized the disclosure of sensitive information to a Wall Street Journal reporter about the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.” 

McCabe later lied about authorizing the leak during questioning from IG investigators.

The Washington Post further explained:

[Horowitz] has for some time been working on a report that blasts McCabe for allowing two high-ranking bureau officials to sit down with the Wall Street Journal as the news outlet prepared a report in 2016 on an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s family foundation, then misleading the inspector general’s team about his actions. A person familiar with the matter said Horowitz’s findings are what sparked the Office of Professional Responsibility’s recommendation, which was first reported by the New York Times. Horowitz’s report has not been released, and McCabe denies having misled anyone, a person familiar with the case said.
