JUST IN: Former FBI Deputy Director MCCABE is suing in federal court to reinstate his full retirement benefits, claiming his termination a day before his official retirement was driven improperly by Trump.
The suit comes just two days after former FBI agent eter STRZOK filed suit on similar grounds.
THE LAWSUIT: politico.com/f/?id=0000016c…
MEMO: Included in McCabe's suit is a copy of this memo, which shows WRAY and a top deputy were aware efforts to oust McCabe were linked to his retirement date. politico.com/f/?id=0000016c…
NEW: McCABE’s lawsuit, like Strzok’s, relies heavily on Trump’s Twitter assault as evidence that his firing was retaliatory and coerced. The latest: politico.com/story/2019/08/…
As many rightly point out, McCabe was fired after the DOJ inspector general concluded he “lacked candor” during an investigation into a media leak associated with the Clinton email probe.

McCabe claims here his punishment was expedited and was pretense for Trump’s vendetta.
JUST IN: McCabe's lawsuit has been assigned to federal judge RANDY MOSS, same judge who presided over the George Papadopoulos plea/sentencing.

The suit to force McGahn’s testimony will take until at least 10/31 under the schedule laid out by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson >>>
NOTABLE: After 10/31, the House has just 16 scheduled days in session before the end of the year -- Nadler's estimate of when the Judiciary Committee would act on potential articles of impeachment.
NEW: The legal fight for McGahn’s testimony is slated to end no earlier than Oct. 31, leaving - at most - 16 session days in 2019 for the Judiciary Committee to act on articles of impeachment by Nadler’s end-of-year timeframe. politico.com/story/2019/09/…

JUST IN: In a new filing, prosecutors are seeking a late October / early November sentencing for FLYNN, saying his cooperation "has ended."

Flynn's legal team says they're still battling for security clearances and need much more time. Don't have a sentencing timeframe in mind.
Flynn's lawyer, Sidney Powell, says the government has refused to grant her team security clearances to review transcripts of Flynn's Kislyak calls and his DIA briefings about his foreign contacts/travel.

Prosecutors say they've provided everything relevant to Flynn's defense.
NEW: Prosecutors and lawyers for FLYNN are at an impasse over whether he's ready to be sentenced.

Flynn's team says it needs" significant" time and access to classified materials. Prosecutors, more or less, say that's BS.

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe confirmed that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) without the Steele dossier information.
FBI and DOJ obtained from the FISC an initial warrant, and three FISA renewals:

NEW: JW President @TomFitton: Attorney General Sessions was wholly justified in firing former FBI Deputy Director McCabe. The IG report released today portrays McCabe as a serial liar. When regular people lie to the FBI, they get felony charges. (1/4)
jwatch.us/FwjidW
JW President @TomFitton: The IG report also presents more evidence that the Obama DOJ sought to shut down the FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation. This is another reason to reopen or reinvigorate the Clinton Foundation pay-to-play probes. (2/4)
jwatch.us/FwjidW
The IG report shows the FBI has been covering up McCabe’s text messages. The messages should've been turned over in JW FOIA litigation but we haven’t received one McCabe text. The FBI corruption & cover-up didn’t end w/ Comey’s well-deserved firing. (3/4)
