Attorney General Jeff Sessions — at the public urging of President Donald Trump — has been pressuring FBI Director Christopher Wray to fire Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, but Wray threatened to resign if McCabe was removed, according to three sources with direct knowledge.

Wray's resignation under those circumstances would have created a media firestorm. The White House — understandably gun-shy after the Comey debacle — didn’t want that scene, so McCabe remains.
Sessions told White House Counsel Don McGahn about how upset Wray was about the pressure on him to fire McCabe, and McGahn told Sessions this issue wasn’t worth losing the FBI Director over, according to a source familiar with the situation.

NOT GOOD! He will stick around for a few months if he does retire anyway.

We need an Independ. Commission! Just like they had for 9/11. It would be fully funded and staffed, relatively quick, transparent and open to the public, NON PARTISAN (and can't be de-railed by the GOP), etc. The Dems have introduced the needed legislation for 9 months in both houses of Congress but the GOP is stopping it naturally.
