The FBI Agents Association released a statement saying that “personnel decisions should never be politicized” after the firing of former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe.

“Since its founding, the FBIAA has worked in cooperation with the Bureau and with Congress to develop personnel procedures that simultaneously guarantee the professionalism of the FBI and the rights of Special Agents,” FBIAA president Thomas O’Connor said in a statement.

“While the FBIAA does not comment on personnel matters, the Association remains fully committed to ensuring that every FBIAA member is provided appropriate procedural protections,” he continued. “The FBIAA also strongly believes that personnel decisions should never be politicized.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on Friday night, saying that McCabe wasn’t forthright with investigators and had made an unauthorized disclosure to the media.

1. OK, this would sound good if ..

.. FBI members and Comey had not politicized
the agency against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

2. "wasnt forthright with investigators" !! Coming from Sessions!!

Sessions says he knew of ex-Trump aide's Russia ties, despite testimony
contradicting his earlier remarks under oath.

Jeff Sessions on Tuesday acknowledged a former aide to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign informed him during the 2016 election about ties to Russian officials.

Sessions is lying swamp scum.
