The McCabe I knew was an ambitious ladder-climber whose sights were squarely fixed on advancement within the organization. The FBI has stated that McCabe acted in accordance with the agency's protocols while his wife was running for office.

Not doing this appears to be why Andrew McCabe was fired.
