Re: “The Trump administration’s firing of FBI official Andrew McCabe,” March 19 letters to the editor.

Two letters in The Denver Post want to point (explicitly and implicitly, respectfully) to President Donald Trump for the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

McCabe was fired by the attorney general, not Trump, because both the independent in­spec­tor gen­eral, Michael Horowitz, and the FBI’s Of­fice of Pro­fes­sional Re­spon­si­bil­ity con­cluded that Mc­Cabe made an unau­thorized dis­clo­sure and lacked can­dor when he spoke un­der oath. Both are cause for termination under the FBI code of ethics.

Trump’s comments subsequent to the firing were unhelpful and unnecessary, as usual.
