This firing is designed to mess with his pension… and Prexy Dennison giggles with glee at his dickishness. This won’t discredit McCabe as a potential witness.
This in some ways gives his testimony more credibility since he has seen the IC materials.
This act may also be to settle scores for the Russian gangsters among others that McCabe pursued during his career, aside from that message-sending favored by gangsters.
“Based on the report of the Inspector General, the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility, and the recommendation of the Department’s senior career official, I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately,” said Sessions.

“...an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor − including under oath − on multiple occasions.” … sounds like what 45*’s impeachment bill will say.
Just more lawfare to obstruct the obstruction case, as though this wasn’t a political act designed to intimidate witnesses. Remember McCabe actually contributed to the hoopla over HRC materials and yet McCabe is also another of those witnesses to 45*’s attempt to obstruct Comey.
… time to remember how the cascade of such actions occurred during Watergate, because this is a first step.
More interesting is the flurry of GOP-bots spiking the ball over this, and a FoxNews draft announcement hours in advance of this news..
