Right now there is no way to say whether McCabe's firing was political or not. Sessions had the discretion to allow McCabe to retire with his pension (a courtesy afforded to people dismissed for criminal acts and not just lacking candor) and it was decided to fire him earlier. That decision appears vindictive and petty, but we don't have the information to really say one way or the other on the dismissal itself.
