Did McCabe issue ‘Stand-Down’ order on FBI Clinton Email Investigation?
"McCabe tried to steer people off the private email investigation..."
Sara Carter 21 hours ago
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is now facing possible criminal charges for lying under oath about leaks he made to The Wall Street Journal in 2016, in an effort to salvage his reputation and give his account to journalists who were questioning whether he gave a “stand-down†order to FBI agents investigating the Clinton Foundation.
Multiple former FBI officials, along with a Congressional official, say that while there may have been internal squabbling over the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation at the time, there was allegedly another “stand-down†order by McCabe regarding the opening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of her private email for official government business.
McCabe’s stand-down order regarding Clinton’s private email use happened after The New York Times first reported Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email Account at State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules in March 2015 and before the official investigation was requested by the Justice Department toward the end of July 2015.

Doesn't matter who ordered what.
Obama himself could have ordered everyone to stop looking into her crimes and we could have him on video telling them to do so and not a damn thing is gonna happen to any of them.
They are all above the law, and they know it.
No one the was supposed to hold them accountable is going to.
So, all these bits of evidence leaking out about how far up the food chain the corruption goes is irrelevant.
It's like Sanctuary Cities. If one is not going to bother to enforce the law, then an entirely different paradigm takes over and becomes the default rule that no one is permitted to violate.

So far it sure looks that way.

Blatant lawlessness from our politicians has become the norm. We are now a full blown banana republic where individual politicians are the law in their own fiefdom domains regardless of what laws are on the books. Their claimed ends justify their means and their supporters tribally cheer them on. The window to return to lawfulness is rapidly closing and in turn Balkanization is rapidly spreading.

The fact of the matter is that the Rubicon has already been crossed in terms of any kind of restoration of the Constitutional rule of law. That's done and over with. You cannot stop lawlessness in government via civil means. Especially in a system our rulers have themselves corrupted to their permanent benefit. If that were possible, no violent revolutions would ever be necessary. But alas, they are - as our own separation from the Crown attests. You cannot negotiate to win back liberty lost by a corrupted system perverted to serving itself.
The Rubicon into that banana republic you spoke of has been crossed already, and we are not going to see any kind of return to the system devised and intended by the Founders. A wicked and debased people wholly unmoored from morality and our Foundational Principles makes that an impossibility. Optimism and wishful thinking are not going to arrest or slow the statism we have grown accustomed to suffer because we have lied to ourselves that it is sufferable and necessary.
So we seemed doom to repeat the same stupid fate of every other Republic lost before ours.
More than half the population I figure either supports the existing Big Government Statism or want to see it grow and expanded to the point of imposing overt totalitarianism either via a sole dictatorship or full-blown Communism.
