(JTA) — The CEO Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League expressed his support for fired deputy director Andrew McCabe of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, Saturday night, retweeting a Twitter social-media tweet from December 23rd, in which he said, “When the Jewish community faced an unprecedented wave of bomb threats earlier this year, Andrew McCabe was an ally who worked closely with us in a time of need and labored to solve the case. We are indebted to him for his patriotism, professionalism & public service.” Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on Friday, two days before he was set to retire after more than 20 years at the FBI, which could jeopardize his full pension. as a 21-year veteran of the FBI, according to reports. Sessions said that McCabe, who was among the first at the bureau to scrutinize possible Trump campaign ties to Russia, had shown a lack of candor under oath on multiple occasions, a fireable offence. McCabe said over the weekend that his firing was an attempt by the Trump administration to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump presidential campaign and Russia, in which he is a potential witness.
