Here’s the thing I don’t understand:

McCabe is caught lying to the IG. So did Strzok and Page, if I’m not mistaken. And I think Baker did, too.

In the real world, any case that any of these touched would be tainted, even after the fact, as the rules in federal court differ quite a bit than the state and local courts.

The Giglio Rule...laymen’s version - if you’re a federal agent and you got caught lying to your supervisor about your whereabouts or some other occurrence and they write you up for it and it’s upheld, you won’t necessarily get fired but there will be a file in your personnel record that you LIED. You will not be allowed to work a criminal case for the rest of your time as a federal agent. You credibility has been undermined and that can get a case tossed.

United States case, the court held that exculpatory evidence also includes information that can be used to impeach the credibility of prosecution witnesses, including police officers.

In a federal case, you have to fill out a questionnaire about your history. If you have something the defense can use against you, the case could be in jeopardy.

So...why aren’t defense attorney’s lining up to review any cases these people made? Why aren’t defense attorney’s screaming from the rooftops about how their clients weren’t given the same treatment?

Oh wait, the President’s son should be doing at least 36 months for lying on his ATF paperwork, but....NAH!!
