DeepStateGate Update

A few quick bits and links:

As the sidebar notes, Sara A. Carter reported on Hannity that the tidbit that Christopher Wray found so "concerning" was the claim that Andrew McCabe asked FBI agents to alter their form 302 witness interview reports. As I mentioned over there, as the FBI does not record conversations, the form 302's are the one and only official "documentation" of an interview. If McCabe asked agents to alter their own best-recollection accounts of these interviews, then he was effectively asking them to falsify evidence in potential criminal cases.

Carter says that the FBI is examining this charge. If it is found to be true, McCabe will be fired -- and that, I take it, means that his "terminal leave" will be cancelled and he will not get his full pension. (Not getting his full pension is no huge thing financially, as it's pro rated, Commenter tells me, so he'd get like 99.8%, but a true firing will demolish his reputation and may even carry further penalties.)

Sara Carter also casts doubt on any of these "voluntarily stepped down" claims that the media has "reported" (probably using McCabe himself as an objective source). She reports he was "forced to resign," and that he "lashed out at his colleagues" when he was told, Outten Sie.

Mollie Hemingway noted the long list of McCabe's and Mueller's Top Men who've been demoted or reassigned or fired in this sham investigation, and notes that the media, for reasons i'm sure none of us can even speculate about, seems to be willfully avoiding covering a major story.

Byron York reports that the Schiff counter-memo the media is so breathless about is mostly just a long personal attack on Republican Intel Committee head Devin Nunes.

However, it's also larded up with classified information -- which I think Democrats did on purpose, so that when Republicans properly redact it, they can claim "Oh, see, they're keeping all this important information from the American people!"

Which the media will of course dutifully buy into, because the media is Partisan, and the media is Dumb.

I forget the cite, but someone, maybe Chuck Ross, reports that the FISA Abuse memo must be held for five days, even if Trump approves its release on day one, so don't expect to see it before Friday at the earliest and more likely next Monday.

One more bit I don't have a link handy for (I have too many tabs open and can't find any of the articles I opened): Someone's reporting, or maybe just speculating, that McCabe is just the first to be force-out, and that this force-out is just a general prelude to a more extensive house-cleaning of McCabe's "cronies" at the FBI.

When I find that link, I'll add it. If you know the links for those last two, please help a blogga out and link them in the comments.

The memo has passed from a House committee to the White House for review, which is required because the document is based on classified information. Trump has as many as five days to review the document for national security concerns, but it won't be mentioned as part of his State of the Union speech to Congress Tuesday, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told Fox News.

Trump has 5 days to approve or deny the memo. If he approves it it will be released immediately.

If he denies it it goes back to the House where the House can vote to release it.

I think the only reason we haven't seen it yet if the SOTU. It will probably be released on Thursday unless for some reason it would interfere with some message that Trump gives at the SOTU.

They are still vastly over paid, but I think a lot of those federal agencies went from defined benefit pensions to defined contribution more like a 401(k).

88 However, it's also larded up with classified information -- which I think Democrats did on purpose, so that when Republicans properly redact it, they can claim "Oh, see, they're keeping all this important information from the American people!"

if it is their memo, can they require that the Democrats do their own redacting?

The destruction of the MediaNarrative (and the MSM itself) is nearly as important as the take down of the GlobalistMafia acting as double agents inside our government.

Citizens don't trust media now, they should go another step and realize they are anti-American propagandists, employed by an evil empire (shadow government)

Here's what that asshole didn't tell you: they haven't even released their memo for the rest of the committee, much less all of Congress, to be reviewed.

It really makes my stomach churn and my bile go into overdrive when I watch these tricks of theirs. Repubs are like the good guy wrestling duo, constantly getting cheated by the dark side while a blind ref (read media) sees nothing.

The good news is, the good guys usually win thanks to Good triumphing over Evil even in a rigged contest.

evidence in potential criminal cases.

McCabe's reputation will be ruined, yes, but I don't think that by itself or even getting his lawyer to plea bargain down to spending a few years in a country club prison is what's really scaring him. The biggest fear for McCabe and the other FBI co-conspirators is that discovery will be made available for plaintiffs who will sue for civil rights violations. Their entire net worth will then be on the chopping bloc, plus legal fees when the plaintiffs win.

249 The boomer generation that got into government work in the yuppie 90s era is making out like
bandits in retirement.


A long time ago it was known and accepted that government jobs pay sucked, but benefits were great. However, they've been banging the "we need to increase pay to attract the best people" drum for at least a couple decades now.

So they've been fighting for pay equal to or greater than people in the private sector.

This is insanity to me. If you compare pay + benefits in both public and private, government workers already make out like bandits. For example, you can work to 55 in a government job and get a significant percentage of your end paycheck for the rest of your life!

Who outside of government is retiring comfortably at 55 with a pension? Who even has a pension anymore?

McCabe hits 50 in May with 21 years of service. If he was fired, he cannot use his accrued leave to stay on the books until that magic 50. If fired, he would receive the monetary value of the leave and his end of service is that date. He would still receive his FERS pension, but not until he was 62. If he had 25 years of service, this would be a totally different conversation.

269 Any sauce for have to hold 5 days?

My understanding was that the executive branch had 5 days to review and say no, or it would be released automatically. And if they said no it would go to a full house vote to (potentially) over ride. In other words, if President does nothing, it comes out in 5 days. If the President completes consulting with his reports (DOJ, FBI etc etc) and says, 'release' it can be released immediately.

My guess was that President sits on it a few days to keep the focus on SOTU for 2 news cycles, then drops the memo to capture the narrative for the next several cycles.

The other likely course of action is GEOTUS may do nothing (neither say yes, nor say no, let the DOJ/FBI wail at him for mercy for 5 days, see if they can come up with something actually substantive, then do nothing, and the memo comes out).

The, so called, "boomer generation" was born from 1946 to 1964 and in reality that '64 is stretching the actual baby boom after WWII which is what the name came from. Even someone from '64 like Obama is now 54-55 not 50. McCabe is Gen X born in 1968 when this "boomer" was 20.

313 Someone's reporting, or maybe just speculating, that McCabe is just the first to be force-out, and that this force-out is just a general prelude to a more extensive house-cleaning of McCabe's "cronies" at the FBI.

There have been rumors for the past several months that this is what AG Sessions has been focused on, and that "he's the right man for the [AG] job" despite seeming to having been MIA for a year.

Whether it's true, or if that's just a cover-up by his cheering section, is hard to tell. But he did take on probably the most weaponized, most politicized, most powerfully self-protected departments of Obama legacy. One does not move rashly against such a foe.

The Dems in California are obsessed with building a 500-mile long "High Speed Rail" train that will cost billions and which the Republicans call a boondoggle.

The Trump administration is obsessed with building a 500-mile-long fence along the Mexican border that will cost billions and which the Democrats call a boondoggle.

Solution to both problems simultaneously?

Build the High Speed Rail along the Mexican border.

That way everybody gets what they want, and the 200-mph trains will run over and flatten any illegals who try to cross the tracks. Win-win!

>>>

McCabe's pension (pre-tax) is going to be less than $20K per year, probably closer to $15K. He's apparently retiring at nearly the earliest permissible time for him. Since there's a promise of no math on AoSHQ, I won't give you my calculations, but I am a Fed Employee and know the retirement rules and pension formulas.

He will be eligible for Social Security as well, but that won't be much. His Fed TSP (a 401k type instrument) will also give him additional income, eventually, but no more than anyone else at age 50 with a 401k for the past 20 years (McCabe's Fed service time) would have.

McCabe will need a job after leaving the FBI, unless he and his wife are already rich.

Yeah, it's pretty much over except for selling off the furniture. The federal system has about a 97 percent conviction rate, not dissimilar to the Soviet Union and Saddam Hussein. Defense attorneys may start to demand jury trials and be more aggressive but that likely will lead to attempts to limit or end jury trials, as has happened in the UK.

501 473 Somewhat related - the incompetent fool who sent out the missile warning message in Hawaii didn't hear the first part of the drill which is the most crucial "Exercise...Exercise...Exercise". So on his own he sent the real deal without getting Supervisor approval or any confirmation.

What really burns me is that he refused to cooperate with the FCC investigation and they only learned this information by a written statement his boss had him write. Who the hell gets to tell a regulatory agency to FOAD? Of course he still keeps his job just away from any of the emergency alert controls. He's probably planning Aloha Friday's pot-luck right now.

You're obscuring the amazing part of the headline:

The worker who sent out the alert in Hawaii actually thought that Hawaii was actually about to be hit by missiles. He did not press the button "by mistake." He pressed it on purpose. But he was inattentive during a drill and missed the part where they announced it was a drill. So, in a panic, thinking the end of the world was near, he intentionally sent out the alert!

It's amazing how this is all coming to a head with the memo just in time for the SOTU tonight.

There's no way that's a coincidence. Not with Donald J. Trump. I'll be shocked if he doesn't at the very least mention it.

I'll be amazed if he doesn't do anything with this tonight. It's not in his nature to just ignore it. And by mentioning it, or even quoting from it (please God let this happen), he sucks all the oxygen away from the media and the Dems. There will be people watching it who have not heard about this. Their first hearing of it will come from Spin Master Trump.

McCabe's likely been planning to retire as soon as eligible ever since Hillary lost. Trump had been bashing him before or shortly after the election, so McCabe knew he had no future in the FBI/DoJ as he may have dreamed would happen under Hillary. I'm sure he has a sweet job lined-up paying much much more than his FBI salary.

McCabe hits 50 in May with 21 years of service. If he was fired, he cannot use his accrued leave to stay on the books until that magic 50. If fired, he would receive the monetary value of the leave and his end of service is that date. He would still receive his FERS pension, but not until he was 62. If he had 25 years of service, this would be a totally different conversation.

Not sure what his SES pay is, but as an LEO it would be calculated at 1.7% of first 20 plus 1% of the additional year (plus fraction, thereof.)

Don't bl he gets hit w any age penalty.That would seem to be more than $20K? Wouldn't he be Level 1 at $200K?

Even IF that is true, and I'm not convinced of that, but even if its true, we still completely discredit the Mueller investigation, and we get to fire/demote a bunch Obama zealots in both the DOJ and the FBI. And with any luck, the fallout from this clear portrayal of democratic abuse will help the GOP retain the House and the Senate in the fall.

In fact, next to that, whether or not anyone actually gets charged is pretty inconsequential. Remember what the stakes in this game really are.

LOL. I understand the difficult path to maneuver that is the maze that is OPM. However, the much better LEO retirement terms would support an absolute melt down by McCabe, if he thought he was being deprived of $50K. (with the SS benefit) for the next 12 years, as opposed to a number closer to 15K

It's the new journalistic reporting style.


I think what happened with Las Vegas is the very rich and powerful Vegas tourism board leaned on everyone to stop the terribad publicity. Vegas does not need people to be reminded of an awful shooting from a window, so they sat on everything as hard as possible. Plus, I'm pretty sure the guy was either part of or an informant for federal investigation so there was a lot they didn't really want to talk about.
