Last time I checked, lying to the FBI is a felony, right? How is it they can justify prosecuting Flynn but not McCabe???
Well it’s a broader category which the FBI uses for its personnel — it includes lying and direct forms of deception, of course, but it also includes failing to volunteer relevant info to a superior or investigator even if not asked the question.
That is, the FBI agents and officials are supposed to meet a HIGHER standard than simply “Thou shalt not lie” — they must ensure that superiors or investigators receive all RELEVANT info whether or not they have asked for it.
McCabe told explicit lies, for sure, but he also practiced other forms of evasion and concealment. That is relevant to why he was finally fired by the FBI.
They put harmless Martha Stewart in prison for lack of candor, can do the same to McCabre...
McCabe was put under oath and lied=perjury = felony.
McCabe’s lawyer is the last person I’d be listening to right about now. His job is to be a “zealous advocate”.
