There is no question that he has left his post - and some say voluntarily and others say forced. But I am not finding any confirmation that he was "fired." Fired usually means he has lost employment with that company/agency. As far as I know, he is still employed, but not a deputy director. He has essentially been demoted. Is anyone finding something else?The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

As far as I can tell, McCabe is still employed by the FBI, in a lesser position. If he is forced out of the FBI entirely, he will be "fired." That's how I have always understood those terms, and how they have been used in any management position I have ever held. If you use them differently...
Andrew McCabe is leaving his post as the No. 2 FBI official after coming under withering criticism from President Donald Trump, three people familiar with the development said Monday.
McCabe will go on "terminal leave," meaning he will stay on the payroll until his retirement in March, a former colleague said.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
