US closes case against ex-FBI boss McCabe with no charges

AP News ^ | 14 Feb 20 | ERIC TUCKER and MICHAEL BALSAMO

That’s what I’ve said all along: Trust god. All others pay cash.

[truthkeeper]

Interesting that Barr admonished Trump not to tweet so much, then came up with this doozie the very next day.

I hope Trump tweets the hell out of this.

[PghBaldy]

Good point, especially since Trump has been Tweeting seemingly every day.

[Linda Frances]

I’m praying deals have been made for a lower sentence. Maybe McCabe. Nunes said the truth will be coming out and he sounded confident. He was angry and frustrated. Now he’s just angry. I’m not giving up hope. I think this Barr Trump argument is just for optics. Maybe Trump and Barr are playing a chess game waiting for all the pieces to be in place.

[JayAr36]

I am still checking on why I should trust anything that comes from the District of Corruption.

[Glad2bnuts]

They don’t drop charges on the small stuff when a plea deal is struck. You hit them with potential big stuff if they don’t flip, on the premise that they plead guilty to smaller stuff.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"The letter states specifically that McCabe will not be prosecuted for the items referred by the IG, i.e., the lack of candor on leaking. This does not mean that McCabe can’t be charged with other crimes. Maybe McCabe is singing True.

And it's also worth noting that the McCabe leak and lie wasn't really against Trump. It actually hurt Hillary and the Obama DOJ"

Thank you worth repeating

[itsahoot]

Not charging for this one offense.

Or any other offense, but keep hoping maybe it will get better you never know, it might.

2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Will Be Glorious!

Spot on, unfortunately. Get ready for the spin: “This is part of the plan! Just you wait! Justice is right around the corner! “

[alarm rider]

I am really trying not to be discouraged, but it ain't working. Virginia is attacking their citizens 2nd Amendment rights. McCabe walks. New York gives driver's licenses to illegals. Illegals vote in California and other places. The MSM is an extension of the democrat party. Socialists and “other lifestyle candidates” are running for President. I am sure I left out more, but frankly, I am saddened by what has occurred. Tell me I am wrong.

[Sir Napsalot]

Is there going to be a demonstration “No Justice, No Peace” from the conservatives now?

Can I cite Andrew McCabe if/when I lie to the FBI/DoJ?

[Trump.Deplorable]

Again, that is the reason to have the guy as AG

Access Hollywood was a media hit job

Trump and his team made a decision on a media hit job

That makes no sense

The dust settled quick and Christie would have taken the position

The reason Christie isn’t AG is because Kushner wouldn’t allow it, Family first in the Trump administration and sadly I think this was the biggest mistake Trump ever made was allowing sleepy sessions to be AG, when he could have had a tornado like Christie. And we all agree, the DOJ needs a Tornado

Christie and the Bushes weren’t the best of friends either, anyone remotely high up in the Republican party has ties to the Bushes, Jeez.

[Fledermaus]

Tweet away Trump!

And fire his ass.

[lodi90]

Is it at all conceivable that they flipped McCabe?

No. McCabe is on CNN today dunking on Barr like he is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

[StAnDeliver]

"Just think how the last 3 years would have gone had Trump appointed a competent loyalist as AG in January 2017, with a mandate to completely clear out all Obama loyalists and swamp rats from the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSC."

Agreed that Sessions was a shockingly bad pick. And we need to FReep him out of the Bama Senate primary, and help Spicer promote Tuberville.

Got to beat the r u n n o f t election hanging over this, and by the way Bama Freepers, please do away with your r u n n o f t election.

It's a bad way of doing electoral business: it's a short step from runnoft to the unconstitutional 'jungle' primary; runnoft also favors incumbents, and most incumbents grow a RINO horn over time and Sessions being the GOP 'incumbent' in this primary is proof-of-concept.

"In the hypothetical general election match-ups, Sessions beats Jones by 13 percentage points, while Tuberville and Byrne outpace Jones by 8 points and 9 points, respectively."

I have particular affinity for Tuberville in that he incidentally poisoned Petrino's reputation - Tommy had nothing to do with it other than a bad season - and now Petrino coaches the Missouri State Bears lofl... (apologies to any Missouri State Bear Freepers).

[aquila48]

It’s not just people that had to be confirmed, even those that he had total control of like chiefs of staff and personal aides like Priebus, Kelly, Mooch and so on.

I like Trump a lot, just wish he would be more careful about the people he surrounds himself with.

[Glad2bnuts]

I know people who are working, and I am working in my State. People cry “WHAT DO I DO”? Do something, even if it is wrong. DO SOMETHING...you are correct.

[StAnDeliver]

See? This is no bueno. Fortunately the MoE covers the possibility of Tuberville actually being ahead in that match-up, but Spicer would still need to get President Trump to cross the Rubicon and pick Tuberville in the runnoft.

[bagster]

You’re awfully quiet.
L

Trust the plan.

B to the Q

[lodi90]

You’re correct, it’s our nation and the rule of law - and Barr just threw an interception to the opposing team, who returned it 99 yards for the winning touchdown with no time remaining.

The GOPe is giving the criminal Dems one mulligan after another because their target is Trump. Clearly, they feel there is no crime if the target is Trump. The GOPe hate POTUS every bit as much as Schumer and Pelosi.
