A source familiar tells Fox News it would be accurate to say McCabe was, “Removed.” Further, I’m told this is most likely the earliest date possible for the FBI to remove him and still leave him fully eligible for his pension. #FoxNews

Per Gowdy, the 4 page memo is a compilation and summation of the FBI's very own work. Now the FBI deputy director, McCabe is resigning.
