In coverage of the Andrew McCabe investigation, there seems to be a lot of adding two plus two and coming up with five.
The New York Times and Washington Post have reported that a grand jury met on Thursday in connection with a probe involving McCabe, the FBI’s former deputy director. As I write this column on Friday evening, no indictment has been returned against McCabe. From this, and what seems to be some hopeful speculation about “hints of the case’s weakness” that could possibly have caused grand jurors to “balk,” the Times and the Post suggest that maybe the grand jury has voted against an indictment.
This supposition has prompted a letter to the Justice Department from McCabe’s attorney, Michael Bromwich — a former colleague of mine who, besides being a skilled and shrewd attorney, is a Democrat and was last seen representing Christine Blasey Ford....
While conceding that he “do[es] not know the specific basis for the rumors,” Bromwich intuits that they must be reliable because the newspapers ran with the story. Mind you, neither the Times nor the Post claims to have been told by any grand jurors that they declined to indict McCabe; nor do they report hearing from any knowledgeable government official that a no true bill was voted. Nevertheless, McCabe’s legal team is demanding that the Justice Department disclose whether an indictment was declined and refrain from seeking an indictment in the future.
This gambit, of course, floats the narrative that the case against McCabe must be crumbling — the media reports spur the Bromwich letter, which spur more media reports, rinse and repeat. But even allowing for the erosion of standards, this is thin gruel for both news reporting and legal claims.

They’re just setting up the narrative of political persecution.
Since they said this, when the indictment does come down, they’ll screech and howl about how there was a no-bill and prosecutors only pushed for an indictment to keep the right happy.
Howling and screeching snowflakes is a given. I love it when they run around like they’re on fire and bump into each other.

It’s only a given because the Dems have been given plenty of time to set a narrative by the Deep State DOJ. 15 months since McCabe was referred for prosecution, IIRC. Contrast that to the speed at which Mueller and his angry Democrats moved. Where there is a will...
LOL
The DOJ will be accused of "grand jury shopping".
There was plenty of howling and screeching here when the bogus report regarding the alleged grand jury vote first dropped.
It’s not certain that a grand jury has taken up the case.
Some people have tried to argue a DC Jury would never convict. I disagree. A good prosecutor should have no problem demonstrating to everyone’s satisfaction the conspirators are DIRTY COPS. My guess is any DC Jury would love to get their hands on dirty cops.
Unless the Grand Jury is seated someplace between Altoona, PA and the CA-NV border, I refuse to believe that it will actually indict a Swamper.
Dream on! Nobody is getting indicted.

push the BS out on the street in order to pull sentiment in direction of accused.
” I love it when they run around like they’re on fire and bump into each other.”
Que the Benny Hill music.
Dreams may or may not come true. But first you must dare to have them.
The Coup Cabal is desperate. Trying to manage the narrative
Juries are made up of people too dumb to get out of jury duty. Exactly the kind that would hate a dirty cop, and see one at every opportunity. If you have ever been in the less pretty parts of DC, you will have seen a whole pool of such jurors.
I don’t remember any. A lot of disheartened moaning, but not enough adrenaline betwixt us all for one good screech.
Exactly. Seems like bringing a dirty cop to trial in DC would be pretty much a slam dunk.
If they just met.....then they haven’t heard the case yet and there is no indictment....yet....duh...
Then end all the speculation by indicting McCabe.
