It looks like Sally Yates, the butch progressive who became a hero to the left when she refused to enforce travel ban early in 2017 apparently got McCabe to shut down the Clinton Foundation probe. Sally Yates served as Attorney General for a few days after the transition from Obama to Trump and was an Obama holdover.

Rush Limbaugh said Thursday that it appears former Obama deputy attorney general Sally Yates was the one who ordered former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe to shut down the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
Inspector general Michael Horowitz wrote a criminal referral against McCabe, which was reported Thursday. Horowitz’s report also detailed a DOJ official (possibly Yates) who pressured McCabe to shut down the Hillary email probe.
Here’s an excerpt from the IG report: “McCabe told the OIG that on August 12, 2016, he received a telephone call from PADAG [Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General] regarding the FBI’s handling of the CF Investigation (the “PADAG call”).
Limbaugh said that the PADAG at that time was Sally Yates, who became a heroine to the Resistance for defying President Donald Trump before her exit.
