UNBELIEVABLE: FBI DIRECTOR ANDREW MCCABE IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION – HERE’S WHY
AS RUMORS SWIRL THAT SOME AT THE FBI ARE LEADING A CHARGE TO INVESTIGATE PRESIDENT TRUMP, WE NOW KNOW THAT ACTING FBI DIRECTOR ANDREW MCCABE IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION HIMSELF BY THE OFFICE OF U.S. SPECIAL COUNSEL. HE IS UNDER SUSPICION OF VIOLATING THE HATCH ACT TO SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THE EVIDENCE IS PRETTY CLEAR – THERE ARE PICTURES TO PROVE IT.
McCabe is hardly a bipartisan figure. His wife, Dr. Jill McCabe, ran for the Virginia state senate in 2015 as a Democrat. As an FBI agent, Adrew McCabe is prohibited from engaging in any activity benefiting a candidate from any party. The Hatch Act is a well-known statute and the rules are very clear. Nevertheless, McCabe openly defied it by posting photos on social media supporting his wife’s candidacy.
CIRCA NEWS REPORTS.
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is being investigated by the Office of U.S. Special Counsel for violating The Hatch Act that prohibits FBI agents from campaigning in partisan races.
The Office of U.S. Special Counsel, the government’s main whistleblower agency, is investigating whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s activities supporting his wife Jill’s Democratic campaign for Virginia state senate in 2015 violated the Hatch Act’s prohibition against FBI agents campaigning in partisan races.
The agency’s probe was prompted by a complaint in April from a former FBI agent who forwarded social media photos showing McCabe wearing a T-shirt supporting his wife’s campaign during a public event and then posting a photo on social media urging voters to join him in voting for his wife.
“I am voting for Jill because she is the best wife ever,” McCabe put on a sign that he photographed himself holding. The photo was posted on her social media page a few days before the election, in response to Dr. Jill McCabe’s plea to “help me win” by posting photos expressing reasons why voters should vote for her, according to the complaint.
Other social media photos in the complaint showed McCabe’s minor daughter campaigning with her mother, wearing an FBI shirt, and McCabe voting with his wife at a polling station.
The Hatch Act prohibits FBI employees from engaging “in political activity in concert with a political party, a candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group.”
It defines prohibited political activity as “any activity directed at the success or failure of a partisan group or candidate in a partisan election.”
An ethics expert told Circa the photos raised legitimate questions about McCabe’s compliance with the law.
Meanwhile, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s office released to Circa under the Freedom of Information Act documents showing McCabe attended a meeting with his wife and the governor on a Saturday in March 2015 specifically to discuss having Jill McCabe run for state Senate in Virginia as a Democrat.
“This is a candidate recruitment meeting. McCabe is seriously considering running against State Senator Dick Black. You have been asked to close the deal,” the briefing memo for McAuliffe read.
Here are some of the photos in question.
