It's interesting. McCabe has responded publicly to the charges of lying to the IG. And the specific charge is "misleading", not lying. All of this stuff, the various investigations and IG stuff, should not be playing out in the public eye. These are internal issues. And McCabe was personally targeted by the president, which also shouldn't happen. |

| To date, the Grand Jury has declined to indict. |

Is this the same report that recommended firing him but, since he'd already retired, recommended letting it go? But then Sessions fired him anyway? That report? There weren't any recommendations for charging him in that report. |

Here is a little more from the NY Times
https://twitter.com/adamgoldmanNYT/status/1172223741805453316 The grand jury hearing the case was recalled this week after going months without meeting but left without revealing any public signs of an indictment, The Washington Post reported. If a grand jury declined to indict — an embarrassment for prosecutors — they could ask for a different grand jury to present evidence and try to secure an indictment. One prosecutor assigned to the case recently left, an unusual step so close to an indictment. Another departed for a private law firm and has expressed reservations about the merits of the case. And one key witness testified that Mr. McCabe had no motive to lie because he was authorized as the F.B.I.’s deputy director to speak to the media, so he would not have had to hide any discussions with reporters. Another important witness testified he could not immediately remember how the leak unfolded. Both would have been crucial to any prosecution. Keep in mind, officials speak on background to the media All.THE.TIME. It is crazy that the DOJ would want to take McCabe to task for this and risk testimony that could be harmful to the Administration as it relates to Trump-Russia. |

Actually, I don't even remember. Did it recommend firing, reprimanding, what? But since he had already retired, the report basically just shrugged. Sessions took it upon himself, apparently at Trump's behest, to fire him. Now this? It's just nuts. And if the law works like it should, he'll win his wrongful termination lawsuit. |

He’s losing his lawsuit. Deservedly so. Hillary, who he fought to shield from prosecution, avoided jail. Andy is landing in jail. |

This is all about Andy talking off the record to reporters about Hillary. The off the record chat was responsible for the news avalanche that likely cost Clinton the election.

That's not why Sessions fired him. |

Talking off the record to reporters was part of his job... |

And, he evidently did it to make himself look better. |

He = the FBI? I guess? |

No. He=McCabe... From Horowitz's report: “However, we concluded that McCabe’s decision to confirm the existence of the [Clinton Foundation] Investigation through an anonymously sourced quote, recounting the content of a phone call with a senior Department official in a manner designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of Department leadership, was clearly not within the public interest exception. We therefore concluded that McCabe’s disclosure of the existence of an ongoing investigation in this manner violated the FBI’s and the Department’s media policy and constituted misconduct,” the IG said. |

That doesn't actually make sense. Since it was anonymous... |

This is what bad guys do. When given the chance, the prosecute the good guys.
McCabe was one of the top Russia experts in the FBI. |
