Nee, deputy director bij de FBI wordt aangesteld door het hoofd van de FBI en niemand anders.quote:
Bericht van WaPo van 23 december 2017. Wel interessant om te lezen in dit licht.quote:Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s deputy director who has been the target of Republican critics for more than a year, plans to retire in a few months when he becomes fully eligible for pension benefits, according to people familiar with the matter.
McCabe spent hours in Congress this past week, facing questions behind closed doors from members of three committees. Republicans said they were dissatisfied with his answers; Democrats called it a partisan hounding.
McCabe, 49, holds a unique position in the political firestorm surrounding the FBI . He was former director James B. Comey’s right-hand man, a position that involved him in most of the FBI’s actions that vex President Trump and in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state, a matter that still riles Democrats.
McCabe won’t become eligible for his full pension until early March. People close to him say he plans to retire as soon as he hits that mark. “He’s got about 90 days, and some of that will be holiday time. He can make it,’’ one said.

Ik had dit toen inderdaad al gelezen en me vooral verbaasd over het feit dat een 49-jarige al met vervroegd pensioen kon. En dat in Amerikaquote:Op maandag 29 januari 2018 18:58 schreef Tchock het volgende:

Bij de FBI kan dat inderdaad. Special agents kunnen vanaf hun 50e met pensioen na 20 dienstjaren, en anderen na 25 dienstjaren. Op zich is dat niet zo heel raar als je bedenkt wat FBI-agenten meestal doen. In het leger kunnen ook mensen zeer vroeg met pensioen - ook in de VS.quote:Op maandag 29 januari 2018 19:08 schreef livelink het volgende:

Wat jammer zo 6 weken voor zn pensioen. Ben benieuwd naar de reden.
quote:"It is unlikely that Trump will delay the actions today," Hess said. "The delay was in October and is relatively unlikely to be repeated, although should it be, it would certainly further sour his relationship with a number of members of Congress on his own side." These would include Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican, who has explicitly called for certain individuals to be named.
Dat weet ik zo net nog niet. Lees dat hij is weggewerkt door Wray, een dag nadat Trump liet weten vertrouwen te hebben in Wray en zijn kwaliteiten om de FBI "schoon te maken".quote:Op maandag 29 januari 2018 19:06 schreef Ulx het volgende:
Niets azn de hand dus. Gewoon te verwachten.
Daar is het nu al te laat voor. Wray weet ook wel wat er gaat gebeuren.quote:Op maandag 29 januari 2018 19:51 schreef westwoodblvd het volgende:

Trump is geen machteloze joker die gaat staan toekijken terwijl zijn presidentsschap ten onder wordt gerechercheerd. De GOP is al maanden bezig met het in uitvoeren van het plan om het onderzoek van de rails te krijgen.
Het artikel van 29 juni 2017:twitter:SethAbramson twitterde op maandag 29-01-2018 om 20:46:45 Here's a *really* scary possibility: McCabe's ouster is part of a GOP effort to discredit the Flynn plea—as implied by this June 2017 story in the far-right Washington Times (often used as a media mouthpiece for Trump allies who need to get a message out). https://t.co/S3Mxds1XHk reageer retweet
quote:The head of the Senate Judiciary Committee is demanding to know why acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe did not recuse himself from investigations involving President Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Sen. Charles Grassley wrote Thursday to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to reiterate his concern about “the appearance of political bias at the FBI” and cited recent a recent news report that indicates Mr. McCabe is the subject of an ongoing sex discrimination complaint that was supported by Mr. Flynn.
“That evidence and the failure to recuse calls into question whether Mr. McCabe handled the Flynn investigation fairly and objectively, or whether he had any retaliatory motive against Flynn for being an adverse witness to him in a pending proceeding,” Mr. Grassley wrote.
The Iowa Republican has previously raised concern over Mr. McCabe’s failure to recuse himself from the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Mr. McCabe landed in an unfavorable spotlight last year when reports surfaced that his wife, Jill McCabe, collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from organizations overseen by Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton ally, during her unsuccessful 2015 campaign for the Virginia state Senate.
We ontslaan je niet hoor, we hebben alleen geen werk meer voor je.twitter:Acosta twitterde op maandag 29-01-2018 om 19:49:32 More... Source telling us FBI Director Wray told McCabe he was bringing on a new team and that he was not part of it. Writing was on the all. All points to McCabe essentially being pushed out. https://t.co/6gET0Y7dOH reageer retweet
Daar heb je lekker veel aan. Dit is van het niveau van de republikeinen die roepen 'zOMG! Wat we nu over Clinton gehoord hebben!11!!1!'quote:Op maandag 29 januari 2018 17:30 schreef Ulx het volgende:
