are the long term place. don t do it. guess what. this president has said enough is enough and i m going to speak truth to power. let s also let s not forget it was a robert mueller appointed deputy fbi director who heatdz the office of personal responsibility professional responsibility inside the fbi that recommended mccabe be fired. let s go back to the essence of this. these people are attacking it as a political act but it was really the fbi policing themselves. fair point. that s ax absolutel absolutely . are you worried, anyone in the trump campaign worried that it was a justifying firing because of the office of professional responsibility saying that mccabe lied and leaked, but now you ve got a guy who has been terminated, is losing a full pension and now he hear he kept memos about conversations with the president.
general jeff sessions will likely prevent mccabe from retiring today with his full pension. mccabe says this is all part of the trump administration s war on the fbi and an effort to undermine the special counsel investigation of the president. we ll get reaction this hour from republican congressman trey gowdy and democratic senator dick durbin. but first, peter duesy with the latest from the white house. reporter: we know the fired deputy fbi director, andrew mccabe, wrote he memos that have been given to the special counsel about his private conversations with president trump who he blames for a termination that jeopardizes his pension, even though the fbis own disciplinary office recommended mccabe s firing because he lied about afternoon unauthorized disclosure to a reporter. mccabe says he s being singled out because of the actions he took and the events he witnessed in the aftermath of the firing

the president is trying to destroy his credibility as a witness before the mullen probe. is that true or is it andrew mccabe destroying his own credibility with his actions as a deputy fbi director? rachel: is this just a draining of the swamp that was promised in the election? pete: let us know. what is the most important story of the day? is this story or saint patrick s day or university baltimore county beating uva in the first round of the ncaa tournament. i m interested in what america thinks. let us know. ed: how about this headline? ivanka trump heading to iowa. what the first daughter doing is doing in the hawkeye state. pete: any time you are going to iowa there is something there. the mainstream media freaking out over staff shakeups at the white house. are changes really such a bad thing? charlie hurt is here to weigh in live. there he is. for all the noses that stuff up around daisies.
