Don’t worry about it. there’s a lot more about McCabe that is going to come out. This is just the start. I think he will be singing like a canary pretty soon.

The Twitter link below reveals an email from a New York Times reporter named Mark Mazzetti to lawyers at Covington & Burling. Mazzetti is asking for a meeting with General Mike Flynn’s attorneys to discuss what the New York Times had just discovered, that Joe Pientka told IG Horowitz that Andrew McCabe ordered him to to alter the FD-302 report originally filed in the Flynn case.

The Justice Department is in possession of these yet unreleased documents that were discovered by the US Attorney from Missouri looking at the case. Bill Barr now has in his hands written testimony from Joe Pientka indicating he was ordered by Andrew McCabe to materially alter the FD-302 documents after the timeline established by FBI regulations for the submission of a 302 had elapsed in order to prosecute General Flynn for something he did not do. And it gets worse.

With this corruption being fully revealed to the Justice Department, we now know the following:

1) Covington & Burling attorneys did not share the information with Flynn or the court, are now liable for civil penalties should General Flynn choose to pursue them and... the attorneys in the case should face disbarment proceedings for failure to advise their client of the existence of Pientka’s testimony to the Inspector General.

2) It appears this revelation from Pientka was either redacted in the Horowitz report or Horwitz never told anybody about it and it was found in the evidence the US Attorney assigned by Bill Barr to look at the case stumbled across. This raises the possibility that Inspector General Horowitz concealed facts indicating the corruption of the FBI from the Justice Department, Flynn and his lawyers, the United States Congress and the American people.

3) The New York Times, “the paper of record”, despite being fully aware of McCabe’s behavior, buried the fact that crimes had been committed by McCabe and other people within the FBI by never reporting it.

4) If this is the reason that Christopher Ray fired Andrew McCabe, It means that Christopher Wray concealed the information while continuing to prosecute General Flynn for a crime he didn’t commit. There is little likelihood that Wray was not aware of both the revelations of the motives of the FBI described in the handwritten notes of Pientka and Pientka’s testimony to IG Horowitz... and should be fired by the Attorney General immediately.

One of the implications is, of course, that they now have at least one felony on Andrew McCabe and, hopefully, he will start singing like a bird when presented with the fact he’s going to jail without his cooperation on the whole sordid mess. After all, didn’t Andrew McCabe famously state (to paraphrase) that if he “was going down, everybody else was going down with him”?

And what about Wray? If he was aware of this fact and did not advise the court as well as Flynn’s lawyers, is he also not criminally and civilly liable?

Grab you a Coke and some popcorn, this is going to get very interesting this summer and maybe sooner.
