DOJ won't charge former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
By Olivia Beavers - 02/14/20 12:30 PM EST
The Department of Justice (DOJ) will no longer pursue criminal charges against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, closing a high-profile case against the former official whose conduct during the 2016 election came under intense scrutiny.
"We write to inform you that, after careful consideration, the Government has decided not to pursue criminal charges against your client, Andrew G. McCabe, arising from the referral by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to our Office of conduct,†wrote two officials from the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office. "Based on the totality of the circumstances and all of the information known to the Government at this time, we consider the matter closed."
Lawyers for McCabe — Michael Bromwich and David Schertler — celebrated the news, saying that McCabe and his family "can go on with their lives without this cloud hanging over them.â€

I'm retracting my earlier tweets giving benefit of the doubt to Barr and Durham
If anyone should have been made an example of, it was McCabe. He was literally fired for a 1001 criminal violation.
This is unacceptable, and has shaken my confidence in both of them.

The Justice Department (https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/justice-department)said Friday it will not pursue criminal charges against former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, after a nearly two-year-long investigation into accusations brought by the agency's independent watchdog who found that he lacked "candor" when questioned about leaking to the media.

Language from McCabe's lawyer is very specific
But there is no getting around the fact that McCabe is not being prosecuted for lying to the FBI when others were systematically pursued for same
If McCabe is not charged with more significant offenses our Justice System has failed

Something has happened..maybe he has made a deal with the DOJ?....

By God Trump better pardon Stone....Stone gets 9 years and no charges for treason on McCabe's part

So the fix is still in. Not shocked even a little bit. Barr could have brought some measure of justice by now... but hasn't. Nothing but excuses and more lameazz lies. It gets to a point that you have to accept the reality that NOTHING is going to happen to these leftist perps. Nothing bad, that is. More likely....a cushy appointment/job, a profitable book deal, and maybe even a chance to get filthy rich like the other rabid leftist Trump haters.

Durham is over the target

The development on the McCabe saga comes amid a week of chaos involving another case being handled by Washington, D.C., prosecutors.
That office recommended Monday that Trump confidante Roger Stone receive up to nine years in prison on charges that he made false statements to Congress and tampered with a witness. Trump called the recommendation “disgraceful†and a “miscarriage of justice.â€
Prosecutors revised the recommendation on Tuesday, saying that Stone deserved “far less†jail time than the initial proposal.
The same office is handling the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017 to making false statements to the FBI during a White House meeting on Jan. 24, 2017.

Breaking via NYT: A.G. Barr has assigned an outside prosecutor to scrutinize the criminal case against Michael Flynn, according to people familiar with the matter.
The review is highly unusual and could trigger more accusations of political interference.

Barr hasn't done a darn thing to drain the swamp ... what has he actually done since he was appointed? Not a darn thing. This gets back to the same problem that Trump continues to have; selecting good people. Barr's been around the block for quite awhile serving under Bush Sr. Time for Trump to stop picking people with connections to the Bushs' and the Clintons.

Let me explain something--and I am NOT making an excuse for DOJ not prosecuting anyone (nor will they):
1) This is the American way. We have never, ever prosecuted attempted coups.
2) Aaron Burr got off with no punishment for conspiring to set up a separate republic.

2) The Federalist Party in 2014 was even worse than the current DemoKKKrats. They actually held a convention in the MIDDLE OF A WAR (War of 1812) to secede!! If that's not treason, what is?
Yet not one single Federalist was charged with anything.

1. If Barr were a Trump hack, McCabe wouldn’t get this pass.
2. Avoiding politically-charged prosecution of Trump critic may be wise on some level (McCabe lost his job at least).
3. OTOH, how many Trump allies have been prosecuted for lying to feds? McCabe did precisely that.

I'm not wasting any more time on "hope". We need action. It has already gone too damned far past what this country was founded on and past what the rule of law dictates. This double-standard and two-tier system of justice has GOT to be eliminated and things put right (pardon pun). The only question in my mind is.... does our side have what it takes or what it will take to make things right again. I'm not feeling awfully confident these days. :shrug:

What McCabe leak/lie was the IG investigating and declined to prosecute? I can't keep track.

Nor am I. Unfortunately we don't have enough people on the right who are willing and able to make things right again. Yes a double standard on just about everything.

I know that there are a lot (millions) of folks that are just as fed up as I am about this. It's not going to go away. It is only going to get worse as the radical left is emboldened by getting away with everything and as they will now double down on their corrupt actions. I put nothing, literally nothing, past them at this point.

DOJ Drops Investigation Against Andrew McCabe
Reagan McCarthy
|
Posted: Feb 14, 2020 1:00 PM
Update: Former Deputy Director McCabe responds to the DOJ ending the investigation into him, calling the length of the legal battle "a disgrace:"
Original Post: The Department of Justice announced Friday that it will drop the investigation into Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
McCabe’s probe was a 2-year-long legal standoff. This high-profile case received national attention, and McCabe became a President Trump nemesis. Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz made public a letter that suggested McCabe had lied under oath about leaking classified information to the media.
This announcement comes after former Trump Advisor Roger Stone’s prosecutors recommended a lengthy, 7-to-9-year prison sentence for a similar crime.

The swamp is alive and well. McCabe should most definitely be indicted on criminal charges. Washington is corrupt to the core.

This Freeper seems to have captured the Occam's Razor/most likely scenario behind Barr's ""mixed signals"" lately....
This is why Barr went easy on Roger Stone yesterday. Because it looks doesn’t look good to try putting an old man in jail for life because he allegedly lied to the FBI about a non-crime at the same time you are letting the former #2 at the FBI skate for admittedly lying to the FBI about an actual crime. Certainly not because he felt sorry for Stone.

Kinda, but in order to make the two situations equivalent, instead of offering him a reduced sentence, they'd let Stone walk and give him his house back.

True. And hell, even in a plea bargain, McCabe should still face "some" jail time for lying. But to get off scott free....? It's an outrage. Or... yet another outrage.

I may be misinterpreting the DOJ announcement, but it did mention this conclusion was based upon the IG report which, we already know, didn't amount to dry poop.

That's my thought too, Skeetz. Durham's report is still out there. I thought they already said they weren't going after anybody based on the IG Report.

Perhaps a letter from DOJ to defense attorney is a necessary formality when one is the subject of an IG investigation.

Once again the key players of the Deep State - Clinton, Comey, Mueller, and McCabe elude prosecution, while patriots like Manifort, Stone, and Cohen are imprisoned. It may surprise you but I don't blame the people who are currently in charge of our government. Rather I blame traitors like Lisa Page and Peter Strzok who refused from the very beginning to invite President Trump into their hearts and forgive their sins. Instead they tricked a nation with the help of the MSMedia, Hollywood, the democrats, and our national institutions like the DoJ, CIA, FBI, and the NSA. TRICKED US to believe our good buddies in Russia rigged the 2016 election...when we all know it was Hunter, crowdstrike, Burisma and those freakin outta there minds Ukrainians. #MAGA #WWG1WGA
