Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
“The wheels of justice turn slowly but they grind exceedingly fine.” – Sun Tzu
There goes Trump, attacking CNN again. – Fox News is reporting this afternoon that U.S. attorney Jessie Liu has recommended proceeding with charges against former Deputy FBI Director and current high-paid contributor at CNN and Democrat Party donor Andrew McCabe. Can’t wait to see that that little bald fat guy, Brian Stelter, try to spin this one on behalf of the fakest news channel on television.
While the news that the Department of [No] Justice is finally apparently going to move to prosecute one of the major bad actors in the Obama-era effort to fix the 2016 election and then to take down a duly elected President of the United States is encouraging, the details of the Fox story are still troubling. Take a gander at this passage, for example:
U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu has recommended moving forward with charges against Andrew McCabe, Fox News has learned, as the Justice Department rejects a last-ditch appeal from the former top FBI official.
McCabe — the former deputy and acting director of the FBI — appealed the decision of the U.S. attorney for Washington all the way up to Jeffrey Rosen, the deputy attorney general, but he rejected that request, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The very fact that McCabe’s lawyers were allowed to appeal a decision by a U.S. attorney all the way up to the deputy attorney general’s office is an utter disgrace, yet another indication of the persistence of the two-tiered system of justice that continues to exist within the DOJ. What other American citizen would have been allowed to do such a thing? Such a request coming from you or me would have never even been considered.
Then there’s this from the Fox story:
Last month, a source close to the process told Fox News that McCabe had a “target on his back” because of the Justice Department inspector general findings.
That’s a reference to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report issued way back in March, 2018, which found that McCabe had repeatedly misled the IG’s investigators in their search for the truth about the Hillary Clinton email cover-up. That report contained multiple criminal referrals targeting McCabe, but all it got him was being fired by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Now, suddenly, we have a U.S. attorney who’s gotten around to figuring that hey, maybe we ought to actually pursue a little justice where McCabe’s concerned. Go figure.
Or maybe, just maybe, McCabe’s decision to sue the DOJ over that firing finally pissed off enough people within the Department – maybe AG William Barr himself – that they finally decided to pursue some real justice against a cabal member in good standing. Let’s remember that Ms. Liu is the same U.S. attorney who decided in August that she just could not decide whether or not to prosecute McCabe, and referred the decision back to main Justice. What changed between then and now?
Whatever the reason for today’s decision, we should all just be glad about it, and hope it’s just the first of many more similar prosecutorial actions to come related to the DOJ/FBI bad actors who attempted to execute a coup d’etat on American soil. Nobody has ever more richly deserved a good nationally-televised perp walk more than McCabe and his many compatriots.
That is all.
Of course not!
No!
Now that's one big clue.
Remember, this would be charge is over Cankles e-mails, not the coup.
Pffft! Of course not. It is the Just Us Department....looking out for their own.
No.
They will not do it...they will say a trial in D.C. would never convict him...bet on it...
It will be 2021 before they even think about indicting anyone...it is an election year...and if Trump loses you will never hear another word..
DOJ has been corrupt for thirty years..
Read Police State by Gerry Spence...90% of DOJ cases never go to trial...they use entrapment
Andy ... whoever turns and spins a deal first spins best!!!!
Hah!
Good one...............................................
Till I see them behind bars I won’t believe it. Actually that might not be enough.
Not only has he not been indicted. A Grand Jury has not been impaneled. Nor will one be in the foreseeable future.
It depends on your meaning of “coming for”.
Plus Barr is too busy playing his bagpipe gigs.
“McCabe had a “target on his back” because of the Justice Department inspector general findings.”
Maybe they are referring to the new IG report (FISA abuse).
Other sources report that the FISA abuse IG report is complete, and has been in review by the Seniors at DOJ for two weeks.
It is quite possible that McCabe’s prosecution was held off, until the whole mess could be addressed together. Maybe they held open the possibility of flipping him to testify against others.
This recent prosecution decision could be driven by the resolution of that uncertainty. DoJ may now be preparing to move ahead with prosecutions.
We’ll see. This is just talk.
What about CIA, and STATE, Clapper ect.
Ms. Liu is the same U.S. attorney who decided in August that she just could not decide whether or not to prosecute McCabe, and referred the decision back to main Justice.What changed? Just the passage of time. The question was booted to Rosen (main justice), who refused to make a decision for Liu's office. Back to you, Jesse. Main justice declined to issue a decline to prosecute decision, basically leaving the question "to be decided."
The truth may come out, but the penalty for the actions will be nothing.
Main justice resisted Liu's effort to shift the discretion off her back. She'll decide what do do about McCabe. If she declines to prosecute, that taint (deserved or not) redounds to her.
When he is indicted I’ll believe we are inching towards holding some of these people accountable.
