I don't know why Marbles didn't post this. This is pretty big news.
The Justice Department's inspector general is expected to criticize former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for approving a leak of information about the Hillary Clinton investigation to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times reported late Thursday.
According to the Times, which cited four people familiar with the investigation into the department's handling of the Clinton probe, McCabe will be censured for disclosing the investigation's existence to the Journal.
The Journal report in question, which was published Oct. 30, 2016, recounts a conversation in which McCabe sparred with a senior Justice Department official over an investigation into the Clinton Foundation. The Journal -- which cited sources including "one person close to Mr. McCabe" -- said McCabe insisted that the FBI should move forward with its investigation, while the Justice Department official expressed concern about its potential effect on the presidential election.
McCabe, a frequent target of President Donald Trump's ire, left his position as FBI deputy director in January and is scheduled to retire later this month. He had served for several months as acting director following Trump's firing last May of FBI Director James Comey.
