In Foxworld McCabe was "removed".

Every other headline says "Steps down" or "quits". The New York Times headline says "Andrew McCabe Steps Down at F.B.I. in Widely Expected Move"

Not in Foxworld though


FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe 'removed' from the bureau

Top FBI official Andrew McCabe has been "removed" from his post as deputy director, Fox News is told, leaving the bureau after months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans including President Trump.

A source confirmed to Fox News that McCabe is taking “terminal leave” – effectively taking vacation until he reaches his planned retirement in a matter of weeks. As such, he will not be reporting to work at the FBI anymore.

Republicans desperately need a ‘win’ even if it is total bullshit. What losers.
