He is perfectly welcome as a private citizen to help his wife in a Senate campaign....just not while he’s working for the FBI.

Exactly. They just thought that they would never have to worry about the law because Hillary had the election locked up.

That is interesting. If those are the rules then he needs to answer for it.

"But did he have any INTENT to violate the law?"

And did his intent rise to the level of a crime?

There is no DNA evidence to PROVE that the man in the picture is actually Director McCabe. Remember, the evidentiary standards for ‘RATS is higher than that for others. /sarc

It’s high time the Trump people started fighting back.

Exactly...if those are the rules, going back to 1939.

They are not new rules.

As was pointed out by another poster that they thought hILLary would win and they would never have to answer for it.

....There are pictures of McCabe and his wife with both wearing campaign shirts supporting her election....

However, weasel Democrats have a ways of getting off on doing things that would rest in immediate criminal liability for anyone else. From Charlie Rangel to Bill Clinton. The rules are always different for Democrats.

No reasonable prosecutor would press charges.

This seems a bit of a stretch. You mean he can’t help his wife?

If McCabe didn't worked for the FBI, he could. But FBI employees are held to a higher standard in the Hatch Act.

From the Circa article (you won't find this in the GP rip-off version):

Why read the GP rehashed version when the whole story is at Circa?

I don’t know why such a big lib would want to work for the FBI. I worked there for 30 years. Until about 2000, 99% of the workforce were rock-ribbed conservatives. Everybody started out as a GS-2 in fingerprinting and worked our way out and up. It took years to become a GS-9 doing substantive case work.

Then, sometime after the turn of the millennium, the FBI began hiring kids right out of college as GS-12 intelligence analysts, something that took us old-timers years to achieve. And instead of substantive casework they had them writing position papers akin to the the grunts in the State Department. It was all done to impress congress at budget time.

But the newbies were by and large PC libs, products of our modern higher ed system. There was a time when I couldn’t wait to get to work. It was once the coolest job on earth. When I left the Bu in 2010, I was disgruntled, disillusioned, bitter, and had to drag myself to the office.

You or I are much more likely to hang than they are.

because he, an experienced federal prosecutor, doesn’t always do what FReepers think he should.

All we think is that he should do something rather than nothing. He could star by firing that little traitor he let appoint a Special Council.

Sorry to hear your story. Maybe a guy like Trump should bring a bunch of guys like you back to set things right. Like I say, if the Trump people need help, they could do worse than look right here.
