Yes, hard to be pro-criminal. Clearly, there is a huge lack of respect of the criminal-in-Chief. |

Heh heh heh the pissed off prosecutors or former prosecutors at the DC US Attorneys Office are leaking. Leaking stuff that will piss off Trump.
“ The Justice Department plans to reveal soon that it will not bring charges against former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe for lying to investigators about a media disclosure, people familiar with the matter said.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/justice-dept-wont-charge-andrew-mccabe-the-former-fbi-official-who-authorized-the-investigation-of-president-trump/2020/02/14/8ab3aac0-4f48-11ea-bf44-f5043eb3918a_story.html |
So McCabe is not prosecuted for lying, but Flynn and Stone are prosecuted for lying with a recommendation for jail time? |
This isn't a leak. The Public Corruption office lawyers called McCabe's attorney this morning and told him. Statement has now been released. Interestingly, the AUSA who quit DOJ the other day (Kravis) was the deputy in the Public Corruption office. Think he might have known some things about McCabe's case that DOJ didn't want to get out? |
It's all so strange, isn't it? There's just no way to make sense of any of it! Amirite? |
Different facts produce different results. Also, remember that McCabe was allegedly lying in a way that harmed Hillary, not Trump, so there isn't really a nefarious pattern here. |
Why does it matter who the lying "harmed"? |
No, "leaking" was part of his job. He flubbed the explanation though when he was asked about it by the IG. Flubbing an explanation isn't criminal, whether you're the head of the FBI it the NSA. Criminally lying is something else. |
Because PP appeared to be arguing that McCabe was being treated differently by DOJ because DOJ is biased against Trump. The actual facts of the McCabe case contradict that narrative. |

| Comey gave conflicting testimony. And, this was not about the FISA abuse. He could still be prosecuted for that. I don't think this has anything to do with what Durham is doing. At least, that is the way I understand it. |

The McCabe investigation was dead months ago when is was clear that the grand jury wouldn’t indict him. Today’s announcement is a crass public relations move, pure & simple, trying to convince us that Barr is not doing Trump’s dirty work. Don’t be fooled.

You're babbling. Do you have any idea what this thread is about? |
Two completely different circumstances. There is a difference between "No, mom, I did not finish the cookies" and "no mom, I didn't drive drunk and total the car" |
