Same for me.

Guy in charge when agents lied/misrepresented evidence in FISA court to get warrants. Believe he may have participated as well.

Just a few highlights:

* He most likely authorized other agents to leak information to journalists regarding the Clinton email investigation.
* He knew about thousands of additional emails over a month before Comey notified Congress about them after Congress had requested them from the FBI.
* Just before he was appointed as Dep Dir of the FBI his wife ran for a senate seat in VA as a democrat and she received about $700k in donations from various democrat groups, some of which came from very close Clinton associates...then he was placed in charge of the Clinton investigation and should've recused himself.
* His position as the second in command at the FBI was talked about in emails between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and he was referred to as an "insurance policy" against Trump winning the election.
* He assisted in applying for the FISA warrant to spy on a Trump campaign advisor and he never told the court that a key piece of evidence in the warrant application was information paid for by the Clinton campaign.

He's a first-rate scumbag.

Here's a good opinion piece that hits all the lowlights of McCabe's shenanigans at the FBI:

Selectively leak.

That's the thing that has to be understood. He didn't simply leak to create transparency. He's no hero of Democracy.

Mueller has done the same thing the entire time. Leaked info that impugns Trump's credibility while withholding exculpatory info.

He was a known liar that couldn't even be useful testifying in court/hearings. Internal FBI resources had been recommending that he be fired well before there was any involvement related to Trump.

You're absolutely correct.
