The progressive mainstream media have declared former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to be a Hero of the Republic for having launched a counterintelligence investigation of President Trump after he fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.
The OIG concluded that McCabe had authorized the disclosure "Through an anonymously sourced quote in the WSJ, recounting the content of a telephone conversation between him and a [Justice] Department official, [that] served only to advance McCabe's personal interests and not the public interest, as required by FBI policy. We therefore found that his actions violated applicable FBI and Department policies and constituted misconduct."
The article described McAuliffe as "An influential Democrat with long-standing ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton" and noted that McCabe was an FBI official "Who later helped oversee the investigation into Mrs. Clinton's email use."
The article contained an official FBI statement that McCabe "Played no role" in his wife's 2015 state senate campaign and was promoted to FBI Deputy Director months after his wife's defeat "Where, he assumed for the first time, an oversight role in the investigation into Secretary Clinton's emails." According to the article, FBI officials stated that McCabe's supervision of the Clinton email case in 2016 did not present a conflict or ethics issues because his wife's campaign was over by then.
The article went on to note that when the Clinton email investigation was launched in July 2015, McCabe was "Running the FBI's Washington, D.C., field office, which provided personnel and resources to the Clinton email probe."
"In particular," states the OIG report, "Barrett's e-mail said that he was told that: in the summer, McCabe himself gave some instruction as to how to proceed with the Clinton Foundation probe, given that it was the height of election season and the FBI did not want to make a lot of overt moves that could be seen as going after Clinton or drawing attention to the probe."
Now, as noted, McCabe claims that Trump's firing of Comey triggered the FBI's counterintelligence investigation of the president.
