McCabe faces possible firing days before scheduled retirement: report
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is facing a possible firing days ahead of his scheduled retirement, according to a new report.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is looking at a recommendation to fire McCabe, people briefed on the matter told The New York Times for a report published Wednesday.
The recommendation comes amid an internal review looking into a choice McCabe made in 2016 to allow agency officials to speak with reporters about a Clinton Foundation investigation.

According to the Times, a report from the Justice Department's inspector general regarding the internal review triggered an FBI disciplinary process that recommended McCabe's firing. Sessions now has to decide whether to accept the recommendation, according to the Times.
McCabe's retirement is set to go into effect Sunday and his firing could jeopardize his pension as a 21-year veteran of the bureau, according to the report.
A spokeswoman for the Justice Department told the Times that the department "follows a prescribed process by which an employee may be terminated."
“That process includes recommendations from career employees, and no termination decision is final until the conclusion of that process. We have no personnel announcements at this time," spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said.
McCabe stepped down from his position and took a leave of absence earlier this year after facing pressure from Republicans and President Trump.
GOP members tied to Trump had accused McCabe of bias in his handling of the Clinton email probe, and Trump had also openly attacked the top FBI official.
The Times reported earlier this month that the inspector general's report was expected to criticize McCabe for allowing agency officials to provide information about an ongoing investigation to the media.
McCabe reportedly authorized FBI officials to provide information to The Wall Street Journal in its investigation into how the agency handled the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State.
The deputy director reportedly allowed officials to discuss a meeting detailed in an October 2016 Journal report, during which some top Department of Justice officials reportedly decided against authorizing a grand jury or subpoenas in the Clinton investigation.

Flossy and OB's fantasies.
Trump Organization says it’s been cooperating with Mueller investigation
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s company said Thursday that it has been turning over documents for months in response to requests from the special counsel looking into Russian election interference and possible coordination with Trump associates.
Trump said last year that special counsel Robert Mueller would be crossing a red line by looking into his personal finances — and those of his family — that are not related to Russia. The Trump Organization is made up of hundreds of companies owned by Trump through a trust and managed by his two adult sons.
On Thursday, an attorney for The Trump Organization said in a statement to The Associated Press that the company has been “fully cooperative” with Mueller’s investigation since July 2017. The company has been in routine contact with the prosecutors, turning over documents and regularly discussing the scope of requests.
Combined, they have provided more than a million pages of documents to investigators.
“This is old news and our assistance and cooperation with the various investigations remains the same today,” said Alan Futerfas, who represents the company.
The statement came in response to a report by The New York Times that The Trump Organization had received a subpoena from Mueller that included a request for documents related to Russia.

He will just professionally acknowledge it as being the case.
Mueller is a first class professional.
Okay, I'll bite. How do you know he's a "first class professional?"
Have you had personal dealings with him? Do you know someone who has dealt with him? Post your source. :lol:

Another dead end, OB. Keep trying.

Mueller Just Stepped Over Trump's Red Line
Last July, President Donald Trump warned the special counsel Robert Mueller that it would be a "violation" for him and his group of Justice Department investigators to examine the Trump family's finances. The president agreed with a New York Times reporter's question about whether doing so would amount to crossing a "red line."
Mueller apparently has decided to cross that line anyway. The Times reported on Thursday that Mueller's team has subpoenaed Trump's company, the Trump Organization, for records pertaining to a number of business deals -- including some related to Russia.
Trump and his lawyers have thrown down all sorts of gauntlets around Mueller's probe. They have argued for a tight deadline leading to its conclusion; negotiated for where, when and how the president might agree to an interview with investigators; and pointed to areas that they think are off-limits.
It would appear that Mueller, with the full force of the law and subpoena power behind him, intends to proceed as he sees fit.
Mueller has already made it clear that he wouldn’t hesitate to look at Trump's business transactions. My Bloomberg News colleagues reported last July -- just a day after Trump conversed with the Times about that red line -- that Mueller was expanding the scope of his investigation to Trump's commercial dealings.
Mueller's probe seems to be pursuing three primary questions. The first is whether Trump or his campaign worked with the Kremlin to tilt the 2016 election in Trump's favor. The second is whether Trump or his advisers obstructed justice to derail the federal investigation. The third involves the possibility of financial quid pro quos that Trump and his family members (especially his son-in-law, Jared Kushner) may have sought in exchange for public policy favors (like, for example, possibly lifting economic sanctions on Russia or shifting U.S. Ukraine policy).
The quid pro quo stuff is likely to be all about money ultimately, and that's why the Times's scoop on Thursday is significant. Mueller is venturing into the Trump Organization itself, the nexus of all of the president's business deals. He's collecting records from a company that's inseparable from the president himself. No major transactions have occurred at the Trump Organization without Trump's blessing, and his unwillingness and failure to separate himself from his company since entering the White House makes that reality even more apparent.
The president's intersection with Russian money is also a potential powder keg. The Times said that Mueller is examining a 2015 proposal by a Trump business partner, Felix Sater, to Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to orchestrate a real estate deal in Moscow. Sater claimed that he could get Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, to buy into the transaction and that doing so could help the president win the election.
Sater is, as they say in the trade, a character. And Cohen's efforts to contact the Kremlin about that deal relied on using a publicly available email address in the Kremlin's press office. That's not exactly the work of sophisticates who have contacts in the highest reaches of Russia's government.
Cohen has handled some of Trump's most sensitive matters, including payoffs to a porn star, Stormy Daniels, in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump.
And Sater is a career criminal with organized crime ties. Trump and his children worked closely with him on the launch of the Trump SoHo Hotel and other real estate projects in the U.S. long before he set himself on course for the White House.
