“I had an interesting e-mail conversation with NRO’s Andy McCarthy. Like him or not, as a former federal prosecutor, he knows a lot about this stuff and appears to be on Trump’s side in this.
First, I was interested in trying to debunk the “secret sting” that somehow John Huber is investigating the Deep State. I asked about the “60,000 sealed indictmens.” McCarthy thought that was a high number, said it could be anything from adding people to a single indictment to change of venue to continuances, to, say, a drug ring where other people are added because of ongoing testimony.
He did not expressly rule out a “secret sting,” but said it would be wouldn’t bet on it.
I asked about Huber’s grand jury with McCabe. That was different, McCarthy said because it appears McCabe gave false sworn testimony. He thinks there may be something to this grand jury and McCabe. I asked about why Combover wouldn’t get similar treatment, and didn’t really get a satisfying answer. Maybe Combover was just more clever in his lying. I don’t know.
Next I asked about whether the absence of leaks proved anything one way or another, and he said no. He was confident these juries don’t leak, but no leaks also could just be a sign that there is nothing to leak about.
We briefly discussed Mulehead. McCarthy thinks the fact that Flynn & Manafort are about to be finally sentenced is evidence that Mulehead is about done. If he still had anything, and thought they could give him anything, he wouldn’t sentence them.
Interestingly he still put a lot of stock in the next OIG report on the FISA stuff. So totally MY takeaway: I don’t think he’s sure that the investigation/prosecution of the Deep State is over yet. He thought going after Stone was going a completely different direction from Trump.”
