Andrew McCabe Isn’t off the Hook Just Yet
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Think about it… – Michael Avenatti is that coke-head guy in “Die Hard” who sits down in front of the head terrorist and says, “Hans, bubby…I can give ‘im to ya.”

Get used to hearing the name “Jensen.” – I really really really hate to quote Andrew Weissmann, but, the former lead prosecutor for American Gestapo Chief, er, ‘special counsel’ Robert Mueller basically confirmed what I told you here after hearing the news that Andrew McCabe would not be prosecuted for lying to investigators: That doesn’t mean that McCabe just gets off scot-free.

As reported by the Washington Examiner, Weissmann told F. Chuck Todd late Friday this:

Andrew Weissmann, a former Justice Department official who was known as Mueller’s “pit bull” during the Russia investigation, said the Justice Department swapped out the “loser case” of Andrew McCabe, who escaped criminal charges on Friday for allegedly lying to investigators about authorizing media disclosures, for a fresh one targeting top former FBI officials, including McCabe, led by Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri.

“All they did was swapped out a loser case for starting an investigation that is going to be of Comey, McCabe, Pete Strzok,” Weissmann told MSNBC host Chuck Todd.

The Washington Post also reported – based entirely on anonymous sources, of course – that DOJ lawyers mad their decision not to pursue McCabe after a federal judge who would have heard the case told them that he believed the case had been damaged by all of the President’s commentary on it. Obviously, an Obama appointee.

McCabe, meanwhile, feeling emboldened by Friday’s events, has been all over CNN, where he is a paid contributor. In an interview last night with Anderson Cooper, he and the host had this exchange:

Anchor Anderson Cooper said, “Aside from being understandably anger about all of what you’ve been through, has it been in a way surreal? In the past couple of minutes, while you’ve been on with me, on Fox, there’s a banner font calling you a liar. Did you ever expect in any way to be dealing with anything like this?”

McCabe said, “I spent 21 years in the FBI as the part of an institution that prides itself on fidelity, braver, andy and integrity. And to be removed from that organization and unfairly branded a liar because that was the desired outcome by the president has just been one of the most sickening and demeaning experiences of my life. It’s horrendous. And it is unfortunate that having listened to propaganda like Fox News, there’s, you know, there are many people in this country that will believe that forever.”

Let’s remember that McCabe ADMITTED to lying repeatedly to DOJ investigators about his serial leaking classified information to members of the press. Inspector General Michael Horowitz painstakingly detailed four instances of his lying to those investigators in a report issued in April of last year. We know he also lied repeatedly in his 2017 testimony to congress. These are simply facts on the public record today.

Andrew McCabe is a liar, and that’s really all there is to it.

But the best part of that exchange is calling Fox News a “propaganda” outlet while doing an interview on freaking CNN.

My goodness.

That is all.

“not a jousting partner for Rachel Maddow”

So true. Many of the folks out here in the hinterland want to see something done in terms of accountability. Tangible results. At this point the POTUS getting into pissing contests with other twits does no good.

Exactly. Barr is worthless and Durhams “investigation” is just a smokescreen.

Stop wishing for the impossible. The Deep State™ will never ever clean up itself.

The answer is secession but all of the state-ist thugs call me "unAmerican" for saying it.

I agree. President needs to stop commenting about the cases. The statement by this Judge will set a precedent going forward that others will site as an excuse not to be charged.

McCabe was almost crying saying Oh wow, what my family has been through for two years. Tough. What about Flynn’s family, Stone who has a wife that is deaf, what about the President’s family who has been hounded for 3 years due to McCabe.

The President and his team are doing a superb job IMHO.

This is no ordinary criminal case and the President is taking on all the Democrats, lot of Republicans, over half of the FBI,DOJ, CIA and and Dept if State, a number of billionaires and trans national interests , and along many foreign leaders and intelligence agencies

In an election year where they all are trying to oust the President

Trump has a very good plan and he is winning.

As the President says, lets see what happens

It appears the only way to get FedGov™’s complete attention is to start lobbing artillery into one of their installations.

The AG works for the President. Not the other way around. If he wants to tweet, then tweet away.

Exactly. I like Trump, but the rules of the game change when legal jeopardy attaches and he’s President. He’s not a stupid guy, so if he doesn’t get his Twitter act together before Durham reports, then I’m left to conclude his interference is most likely intentional.

The one thing I find that may nail some of these clowns is the fact that Dunham’s case is in Connecticut and the other US Atty is in Missouri. As happened with Greg Craig, it makes no sense to bring a case in DC, full of government employees and where Trump got 4 percent of the vote. You will have jury nullification, a jury of s-heads that doesn’t give a damn about the law or who violated it.

Maybe McCabe gave out information corroborating leads the DOJ hsd already fleshed out. I feel the ultimate goal would be the removal of the Clinton governMENTAL grift machine and its hangers on.

Let’s be real. All of these deep state, soulless bureaucrats who live in DC all have pictures of one another at the same beastiality orgy. They won’t turn on anyone in their sick circle, Repubs or Dems.

>> unfairly branded a liar <<

Life is so unfair. McCabe apologized AFTER he was busted. He should get a full pension and not have his life ruined like Roger Stone and General Flynn. /S

Andrew McCabe said he lied to FBI about Wall Street Journal leak

If the judiciary is so weak that they cannot judge a case based on facts, then we are in deeper trouble than I thought. And that ain’t the President’s fault no matter how much he tweets.

Tom Fitton says Durham is doing nothing, by the way.

That's nonsense. So, we have a federal judge discouraging prosecutors when none of the evidence has even been formally presented for consideration? No amount of evidence would be more important than the president's comments?

The evidence concerning McCabe is in testimony before Congress and public statements made in his official capacity. If it can be shown that his statements didn't square with the facts, nothing the president said changes anything at all.

The judge is a Bush appointee. Regardless, the DOJ may have decided not to pursue charges against McCabe in Washington DC because there is no way that a "swamp-jury" would convict him no matter how compelling the evidence, and that an acquittal would make McCabe a martyr.
