Had he been a normal agent, he would have been gone long ago.

A former FBI special agent said on Fox News Friday that “lack of candor” — lying or being dishonest — is the “number one” reason why people get fired from the FBI.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions decided to fire McCabe on Friday night after reviewing an inspector general report about the Clinton investigation. McCabe is accused in that report of lacking candor, specifically about whether or not he authorized sensitive information to be disclosed to a reporter.

Bobby Chacon, a retired special agent, told Fox News that a street agent would “absolutely” be fired for lack of candor.
“I am not surprised and I’m kind of heartened by it,” Chacon said of McCabe’s firing. “Look, I was a special agent for 27 years…if I had done the same transgressions as Andrew McCabe had done I would have been fired before now.”
