Judicial Watch Statement on FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding reports FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe stepped down from his position today.
Judicial Watch uncovered documents months ago that should have triggered Mr. McCabe’s removal … and last week we were given the full stonewall by the FBI on McCabe’s text messages. Nevertheless, the disturbing disclosures about McCabe’s conduct from Judicial Watch litigation obviously spurred irresistible public pressure for McCabe’s removal.
It is disturbing that Mr. McCabe was allowed to remain in the FBI as long as he did. Did Director Wray only force out McCabe because of the pending disclosures in the House dossier memo? The FBI is not above the law and the American people expect full accountability. We still want the text messages and we want a full investigation of the numerous anti-Trump and other outrageous FBI abuses under Obama and McCabe’s mentor, James Comey.
Judicial Watch recently uncovered that McCabe, despite massive contributions from Clinton ally Terence McAuliffe to his wife’s 2015 political campaign, did not recuse himself from the Clinton email investigation until just a week before the 2016 presidential election. Judicial Watch also forced out documents that show that McCabe used FBI resources for his wife’s campaign.
Separately, last week, the FBI failed to turn over any McCabe text messages in a final response to a September 2017 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that Judicial Watch filed on behalf of Jeffrey A. Danik, a 30-year veteran, retired FBI supervisory special agent, against the Department of Justice for records related to McCabe (Jeffrey A. Danik v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01792)). The lawsuit seeks:
Text messages and emails of McCabe containing: Dr. Jill McCabe, Jill, Common Good VA, Terry McAuliffe, Clinton, Virginia Democratic Party, Democrat, Conflict, Senate, Virginia Senate, Until I return, Paris, France, Campaign, Run, Political, Wife, Donation, OGC, Email, or New York Times.
Earlier this month, Judicial Watch sued for the text messages of FBI official Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page. The text messages are of public interest because Strzok and Page were key investigators in the Clinton email and Trump Russia collusion investigations. Strzok was reportedly removed from the Mueller investigative team in August and reassigned to a human resources position after it was discovered that he and Page, who worked for McCabe, exchanged pro-Clinton and anti-Trump text messages.

NORTH AMERICAN TOUR WITH
MOVEMENTS, CAN'T SWIM, GLEEMER
KICKS OFF MARCH 2
DEBUT FULL-LENGTH NEVER NOTHING OUT NOW VIA HOPELESS RECORDS
March 8th | Salt Lake City, UT | Kilby Court
February 2018 - Orange County, CA - Super Whatever is set to embark on a North American tour with Movements, Can't Swim and Gleemer. The tour follows the release of their debut full-length Never Nothing, out now via Hopeless Records.
The project of McKee, Super Whatevr began as a vehicle for his poetry, when he started studying the craft of songwriting with the help of a friend and penning songs of his own. While the songs come form a dark place, they're a reflection of a glimmer of hope amidst life's struggles.
"All my songs are happy," McKee explained. "They have a sad tone, but it's all in a positive manner. I want to help people grow and be vulnerable. If it's got to be dark, then it's going to be dark. It doesn't hurt me, because I know it's going to help me grow and help other people grow."
Super Whatevr's songs don't seek to push away the darkness. Instead, they invite it in, realizing the only way to move past life's problems is to tackle them head-on. The songs on Never Nothing touch on a variety of issues, ranging from unhealthy urges towards oneself, toxic relationships, and battles with mental health, resulting in a comprehensive, cathartic work about pushing past your demons on the way to self-betterment.
"The concept of the album title is that (what might be wrong with you) is never nothing," McKee said.
Prior to the release of Never Nothing, Super Whatevr released four singles: "Bloomfield", "For You", "Kathrin With A K", and "Telelelevision". The full-length is a follow up to the 2017 EP, Good Luck. Visual and music videos for the singles can be viewed on the Hopeless Records YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/HopelessRecords
