It's entirely possible that these two things are true: (a) the firing of McCabe was justified based on McCabe's conduct; (b) Sessions would not have fired McCabe without pressure from Trump designed to fuel a false narrative of Trump's innocence.

Maybe I too hastily replied. The innuendo for his firing had been that he leaked to the press damaging information. McCabe seems to refute that head on. I am not sure how they're going to justify his firing, but so far no evidence of any wrongdoing. No?
The allegation is not that he "leaked" to the press. It's that he wasn't forthcoming about what he did when the IG asked.

Somebody talking about info they’re authorized to talk about is not a leak.

Sure, but lying about legal activity is still perjury when you do it under oath or so Flynn and Papadopoulos found out. Except in the latter two cases, that's the only thing. In McCabe's case, that was just the easy charge. The 302 mess was worse.
-
Flynn and Papadopoulos plead guilty to a crime and are cooperating with the special counsel, most likely to avoid more significant charges. McCabe has not been charged with any crime or even perjury.
-
You're correct as of today. McCabe has only been fired for perjury. Nobody's charged him yet. Does that make the activity better?

How many times was Sessions not 'forthcoming' in testimony regarding his contact with Kislyak? This entire line of accusation against McCabe is ludicrous.
