PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Andrew McCabe ? LUCAS: Well  it's not a position that the bureau wants to be in. It was in the middle of the political fight in 2016  and that's continued into 2017. And there's a lot of pressure from Republicans to clean house in the senior ranks at the FBI. That's made life difficult for Christopher Wray. But one source has told me that there's not a lot of appetite at the bureau to bend to that pressure and dump  McCabe  before  he 's set to retire.
