Is This What McCabe's Firing Was About?

I'm Going To Take Everybody Down With Me

From Fox News:

The violations initially were uncovered by the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General and confirmed by the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility. 

They included lack of candor under oath, lack of candor when not under oath, and the improper disclosure of non-public information to the media about the FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. 

The violations stemmed from McCabe’s response to an October 2016 Wall Street Journal report about sizeable campaign donations from Democrats to McCabe’s wife, Jill, during her campaign for the Virginia State Senate. 

The investigation found that McCabe instructed FBI lawyer Lisa Page and FBI public affairs chief Michael Kortan to work with the Journal’s reporter to set the record straight. 

The source said Page’s statements to investigators were “critical” because they directly contradicted her boss, McCabe. According to the source, McCabe’s lack of candor about the contact with the Journal reporter led to his firing. 

The source added that Page’s testimony about the matter contradicted McCabe’s. Then-FBI Director James Comey claimed he never authorized the leak to the Journal.

This is it? I mean, don't get me wrong. I would be happy to know an FBI head should be and would be fired for this. I have to wonder, though, if maybe they found a reason to fire him for something larger that may have been going on behind the scenes.
