Jeff Sessions just fired the FBI's number two man, Antony McCabe, based upon the FBI inspector general's written recommendation. Just to make it hurt a little more, McCabe was within hours of retirement, with a full pension. Getting fired means no pension, a pretty harsh penalty.
Question, if McCabe was such a crumb bum, how did he rise so far in the FBI? I assume McCabe joined the FBI twenty years ago as a junior agent, or what ever the FBI calls new troops. Since over twenty years, he got himself promoted up to number two at the Bureau, he must have had a lot of supervisors writing good performance reports on him over the years. Is it a case of a good guy turning bad in his later years? Or is it case of a lot of McCabe's supervisors thinking McCabe's way of doing things was good? That in fact a lot of the Bureau's supervision is just like McCabe? And that maybe some more weeding out is in order?
