NBC: FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe stepping down
WASHINGTON — FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who has been attacked by President Donald Trump, stepped down Monday, multiple sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
McCabe will remain on the FBI payroll until he is eligible to retire with full benefits in mid-March, the sources said.
One source said McCabe was exercising his retirement eligibility and characterized his decision as "stepping aside."
McCabe has been at the center of ongoing tensions between the White House and the FBI and has reportedly been under pressure to quit from Trump, whose presidential campaign is being investigated for possible collusion with Russia.

WNU Editor: He is not stepping down as some in the media are trying to paint .... he is out. No access to any intel or in the FBI's decision making process. And this is also happening on the day that this story broke out .... New Book: McCabe Initiated White House Meeting That Led To Leak (The Federalist), and reports that this secret memo probably may be made public in the next day or two .... House Intel schedules business meeting as expectations for vote on secret memo grow (The Hill). What's my take .... I am surprised that it has taken him this long to leave. He lost the confidence of the President. Many in Congress want him out. And I am sure that there are many in the FBI who have told him that he should leave. If I was him ....I would have left a long time ago.

If I was Mueller I would worry that all what he is doing is a dead end and walking in a mined land.
One of many "resignations" to come that they'll blame on POTUS, for hurting their feelings and creating a hostile work environment #MAGA
