Liberal media. Didn't you watch the news.

I don't have all the facts, but there are sufficient facts to know McCabe is crooked.

Sure Trump hates McCabe, but he was dismissed by Wray immediately after seeing the House Intelligence report. The Senate also is investigating. McCabe was fired based on the FBI OPR and the DOJ IG investigations. They had nothing to do with Trump. Sessions is his own man. He may have been appointed by Trump, but "Mr. Magoo" is not his "boy." Trump's Tweeter only hurts himself when he goes after others.
Let me repeat. McCabe was in effect fired by his own people because he no longer had Comey or Lynch to protect him. McCabe has said that if he goes down, he will take others with him, and that is why Muller must continue. His own freedom depends on it.

These four investigations (House, Senate, FBI OPR, and DOJ IG) can only refer criminal prosecution to the DOJ, but they can definitely make recommendations concerning his employment at the FBI, which they did. McCabe lacked candor, and thus became a liability to them.
McCabe knew what he was doing could both get him fired and get him indicted. He was banking on the support of others. Once Comey, Yates, and Lynch were terminated, he had no protection. He only had the court of public opinion, fueled by Brennan, Comey, and Clapper, to help him.
