A radio piece I heard on this also said the decision was by the US Atty for DC.


That would be the newly appointed Shea. Supposedly he was Barr’s right hand man before that. Also the USA who fumbled the Stone sentencing issue.

That’s two strikes for Shea already. Not a good sign.

Quoted from a friend.

Law fag here… Before everyone runs off the deep end, recall that the OIG referral is ONLY in reference to an unauthorized leak to a media outlet. No other nexus of facts is involved.

McCabe likely remains under investigation otherwise as part of the general FBI Fisa abuse investigation. There could be a lot of reasons for the OIG investigation being dropped. First, it appears that the CIA is the ring leader of misinformation and coup attempt - perhaps it is best that McCabe maintain credibility as a possible witness in those investigations, rather than lose credibility as a witness by being the defendant in the OIG referral matter. It's hard to say.

Could also be that the OIG matter simply cannot be proved up at this point. If McCabe offered useful information, you want to protect his credibility for future testimony. All this to say, this news is only in reference to a leak to a media outlet - NOT the larger investigation re: FISA abuse.

Simmer down, ladies.

Why should The People assume any part of the Department Of Justice is legitimate?

Maybe our expectations are way too high...

Just in my generation they go back to Waco, Ruby Ridge and a host of others...We know there are bad actors all across the Country, not just in Washington and New York...Corruption at the top like this couldn't exist except those at the lower levels doing the actual work covering for that corruption...

Appears to me they're going to get it all under the rug and then remind us that the bad guys are gone and that it's all been cleaned up...Don't worry, be happy...

Meanwhile the crooks are controlling public opinion with their new jobs at the fake media with the obvious blessing of the DOJ and FBI......

Trump should tweet, “yo Bill, whazzzzup?”

It's impossible for Bill to do his job, so Trump needs to get someone who can.

You speak like Trump has a choice who he pics, that is not true. mcconnell has the final say on Trumps cabinet picks. For obumber, it was “he deserves to pick his own cabinet”. For Trump, it’s he can pick from mcconnel approved deep staters.


Exactly. It’s important to note communist voting John Brennan had more support from the GOP Senate than the obviously outstanding John Ratcliffe did.

Trump is outflanked by this treachery. This ais screaming third party to me. The GOP is corrupt at its core and unreformable.

The people in charge of the funding are up to their necks in swamp water.

Guess we’ll have to do something about that in November.

POTUS got dangerously close to the heart of the matter this week: GOPe top cover of the Main Justice coupists. And the swamp rats represented by Quisling Barr and McConnell swung back. Hard.
