Andrew McCabe is a former deputy director of the FBI. For anybody who doesn't remember why McCabe's the "former" deputy director, here's a reminder of one of those reasons:
http://oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/o20180413.pdf
As detailed in this report, the OIG found that then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lacked candor, including under oath, on multiple occasions in connection with describing his role in connection with a disclosure to the WSJ, and that this conduct violated FBI Offense Codes 2.5 and 2.6. The OIG also concluded that McCabe’s disclosure of the existence of an ongoing investigation in the manner described in this report violated the FBI’s and the Department’s media policy and constituted misconduct.
The OIG is issuing this report to the FBI for such action that it deems to be appropriate.
Andrew McCabe is a liar and a perjurer, who was sh!tcanned for such dishonorable and felonious conduct. Sit down, Andrew - you have NO standing to opine on someone else's qualifications, you slimeball.
Ironically, one of the people who offered proof showing that things need to be shaken up at the FBI (along with Strzok, Page, etc.) is now warning that if somebody like Matt Gaetz is the Attorney General things will be shaken up at the FBI:
Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ Andy McCabe: “Matt Gaetz is obviously wholly unqualified for this job. He’s someone who, I mean, quite frankly, couldn’t get hired by the FBI if he was — had he ever been interested in that, which I’m sure he never was, probably couldn’t qualify for a clearance.”

Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) ~ NEW: Former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe fumes over Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz, says he will "tear things up" at the FBI.
What an endorsement.
"Matt Gaetz is obviously wholly unqualified for this job. He’s someone who couldn’t get hired by the FBI if he had ever been interested in that."
"He is singularly a disruptor. He is someone who’s been selected because of his interest and desire to go into the organization and tear things apart, likely get rid of people, stop doing a lot of the work that the Justice Department is currently doing."
"We’ve spent a lot of months debating ... whether [Trump's] actually going to try to really dismantle those organizations in a serious way. I think the selection of Matt Gaetz is a clear indication ..."
Joe Concha sums up just how laughable this is considering the source:
Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) ~ McCabe was fired from the FBI and promptly signed by CNN to opine about ethics, so there’s that ...
CNN used to regularly have Dan Rather on a show called "Reliable Sources" so this kind of thing is their brand.
Old School Eddie (@Old_SchoolEddie) ~ LMAO ... "tear things up" at the FBI! Exactly what we want him to do! That was a perfect and precise endorsement!
