The Justice Department has rejected an effort by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to avoid prosecution for deceiving investigators. According to Fox News, U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu has recommended charging McCabe.
McCabe, innocent until proven guilty of any crime, will get his day in court with benefit from an expert legal defense. But from the Justice Department's perspective, this prosecution was probably unavoidable. The FBI are the elite of global law enforcement, and the bureau's motto — Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity — requires its agents and officers to hold true to the highest standards of professionalism. Where there are credible grounds to believe FBI employees have failed to act in that manner, an investigation and ensuing disciplinary or legal action are necessary.
When it comes to McCabe, we've known there are credible grounds for more than a year now.
