FBI Director Chris Wray made clear in a message sent to all bureau employees on Monday night that Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's decision to step aside was a result of forthcoming information to be detailed in an inspector general report, according to a copy of his message obtained by NBC News.

Wray alluded to having seen aspects of the IG's report into the way the FBI handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private e-mail server.

"It would be inappropriate for me to comment on specific aspects of the IG's review right now," Wray said in the message. "But I can assure you that I remain staunchly committed to doing this job, in every respect, 'by the book.' I will not be swayed by political or other pressure in my decision making."

Ugh.

3. RW "journalist" Sara Carter claims she's been told McCabe asked agents to alter interview summaries.

She says her sources told her this was in the IG's report.

5. He was one of the team of agents changing wording from "grossly negligent" to "extreme carelessness"

Previous reporting has identified McCabe, Peter Strzok, Comey and James Baker as primary members of the team who decided to not charge HRC with criminal wrongdoing and amended wording from grossly negligent which has criminal penalties to extreme carelessness. They have all been targeted for removal/reassignment.
