A point worth noting:

The firing of McCabe had nothing to do with the Russia investigation or with Robert Mueller. It is a totally different matter of ethics within the FBI, where he is accused of lying under oath and leaking information to reporters.

It makes no sense that Trump or his lawyer are calling for Mueller's investigation to be shut down? The McCabe firing is not related to Russia investigation except tangentially. That was not the alleged reason he was fired.

the republicans leaked the information Comey gave them because he had told them if he had new info, he would notify them on that investigation which they immediately leaked to the press to harm Hilary's bid for President.

Both investigations are totally related to each other.

money laundering...could be Putin wanted him gone...also McCabe is a Mueller witness and tearing him down is in Trump's best interest...I saw Trumps tweets today going after McCabe's wife and gloating...I think he just obstructed justice yet again...and now wel learn McCabe has memos...hahah. They are trying to lay the groundwork to get Rosenstein to fire Mueller. And Trump just hates the guy and used his power to wreak vengeance...this cannot stand. I am concerned about Hillary now as the IG is compromised somehow in my opinion. Remember he is looking into her again.
