A good indicator that McCabe does not believe he will be indicted and go to jail. Sad. Very sad.

On the contrary. I believe that these people are getting hired so that they can claim they are being targeted by the Trump administration because they have joined the enemedia, (Just as Brennan joined MSNBC). It's a sort of insurance policy.

Thanks. I forgot about that Fox connection. No doubt Ryan will eventually be on Fox News spinning away.

How much time does McCabe have before facing a jury of his peers???

GREAT IDEA BY CNN.

LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO NETFLIX WHEN THEY ADDED THE OBUMMERS.

SELL, sell, sell.

McCabe has the rest of his miserable life. If he hasn’t been indicted yet don’t expect anything coming down the pike. They must laugh their asses off at us.

CNN’s name was ‘mud’. Now it’s ‘feces laden mud’.

[elpadre]

I believe his day is coming.

I also believe the number of indictments being sought, and the big names, might cause DOJ some hesitation as to timing. There could be one big national explosion of the lefties. They do yield a lot of power these days and could could cause considerable trouble. It might be necessary to put the Armed Forces and National Guard on alert.

CNN errs in hiring former FBI official Andrew McCabe

In February, the Associated Press reported that Andrew McCabe, the former deputy FBI director, remained under criminal investigation over his statements to FBI and Justice Department officials regarding a leak to the Wall Street Journal about an investigation of the Clinton Foundation. “We’ve had dealings with the U.S. attorney’s office,” said Michael Bromwich, a lawyer for McCabe.

An April 2018 report from the Justice Department’s inspector general alleged that McCabe “lacked candor” in four instances when he discussed his role in the Wall Street Journal leak with his law enforcement colleagues. One of them was a discussion with then-FBI Director James B. Comey. From the report: “We found that, in a conversation with then-Director Comey shortly after the WSJ article was published, McCabe lacked candor when he told Comey, or made statements that led Comey to believe, that McCabe had not authorized the disclosure and did not know who did,” reads the inspector general report.

The point: McCabe is a newsmaker, a figure of ongoing interest to reporters and editors across the land. So, how does CNN deal with the situation? By hiring him!
