U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu has recommended moving forward with charges against Andrew McCabe, Fox News has learned, as the Justice Department rejects a last-ditch appeal from the former top FBI official.

McCabe appealed the decision of the U.S. attorney for Washington all the way up to the deputy attorney general, but the department rejected that request, according to a person familiar with the situation.

"Waiting for the first one to turn state’s evidence in exchange for immunity."

I think Rosenweasel beat them all to the punch.

McCabe is not going to go down alone. Or be the patsy for the rest.

So far so good. As for what comes, we’ll see when it comes. For all of me, I won’t be happy ‘til he’s swinging from a yard arm.

That will only happen when the first one is slapped with an indictment and taken into custody. Guaranteed.

Not in this case. It has to do with a fairly narrow set of charges having to do with his lying to internal investigators in connection with an internal leaki investigation. However, it is a start and he’s the first Deep State actor to be indicted. It shows Barr may actually be serious about dealing with this whole mess.

My belief that McCabe would skate with a D.C. jury has nothing to do with race.

It’s the fact that D.C. is a company town. Everybody’s livelihood depends on the Swamp continuing to thrive and employ them all in overpaid Federal jobs with money they’ve stolen from the rest of us.

It’s simple economics.

“I agree. They’ve spent their entire federal careers winking at each other with a virtual hive-five signaling they control the game.The DC jury drawn from DC is part of the landscape.”

Makes me wonder how in DC they find a jury composed of the accused peers. Seems unlikely it will be made up of former FBI agents. Last I knew DC was predominately black.

Agree.

Either this coup attempt is a fiction and we are all crazy (not the case)
or else this was a vast conspiracy involving multiple agencies in multiple countries. This is a RICO case. You can't just say, "McCabe was a bad apple, and I guess we're done here."

That just won't work. This is either Nothing, or else it's Very Very Big.

True. Every climb of Mt. Everest starts with one step up the slope. Let’s hope and tray that’s what this is.

“McCabe appealed the decision of the U.S. attorney for Washington all the way up to the deputy attorney general,”

Any average citizen doesn’t have the luxury of such a process.

“Liu is a snake. She is playing politics. She first declined to prosecute, kicked it upstairs, they came back and said his appeal is a no-go and now she’s falling in line.”

Agreed. Her history indicates that she would have preferred to not prosecute this case. Kudos to Attorney General Bill Barr.

Some people on Twitter are hoping for that, or for him to be arrested while live on the air on CNN. That would make for great television.
