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 FBIs 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 cases 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 McCabes 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, McCabes 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.

Even if indicted the jurors will find their cats killed and children threatened. This is the FBI don’t forget.
Que the Benny Hill music.
You missing a “ue”. It’s spelled “Queue”.
Que the Benny Hill music.
I am mistaken to call out “queue”. I now realize you were trying to say “Cue”.
My bad.
I'm hoping that Trey Gowdy's negative comment about FISA abuse indictments on Hannity was also just the Deep State trying to manage the narrative.
Grand juries are usually made up of volunteers and are screened prior to be seated.
“I am mistaken to call out queue. I now realize you were trying to say Cue.
My bad.
“
You should be ashamed. :) LOL!
Meanwhile a om goes to jail for trying to get her daughter in college by a guy who tried to overthrow the gov’t gets a million dollars from his book and tv appearances.
Indicting grand juries are composed solely of those picked at random cross selection of citizens. Civil grand juries are usually volunteers appointed by judges to sit for a year. They do not have indicting powers.
I got out of jury duty....age factor....said I was a climate change contributor on an irregular basis which might upset the other jurors.
Yeah, I almost spit my lunch out at that one
Thats how you know its just Clown World.
I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. I know here in Kentucky getting called for grand jury duty is certainly not voluntary, and I know it wasn't in Florida when I lived there.

I will bet you $500 {to be donated by the loser to FR} that andymcabe is indicted before 12/31/2019. I can not speculate on conviction.
Please answer with a written acceptance on FR, before 9-20-2019 or there is no bet.
McCarthy is wrong. Grand juries vote “no bills” all the time, and McCarthy is being either dishonest or doesn’t know what he is talking about. Because he was a federal prosecutor, it could be either one.
Prosecutors ask grand juries to return a “no bill” so they can blame the grand jury as a cover for the prosecutor’s actual motives.
Would anybody be surprised if the prosecutors in the McCabe case said: “Oh gosh, gee whiz, that terrible old grand jury refused to indict! Oh well, it is all out of our hands! The people have spoken!”
Political favor done, no tracks left behind, all on the “up and up”. Right, Andy?
Mois? I’m an ex-paralegal. I do know that it takes the legal practitioners forever to do anything, though. The idea that a GJ would return no bill one day after they were empaneled strikes me as ludicrous.
I was thinking either Soggy Bottom Breakdown or Laugh-in music. But Benny Hill will work, too.
How did that letter go????
“I demand you tell me they didn’t indict me, and don’t do it again!!”
huh???
I demand you tell me they didnt indict me, and dont do it again!!
Nevertheless, McCabes legal team is demanding that the Justice Department disclose whether an indictment was declined and refrain from seeking an indictment in the future.
Pretty much the same thing.
