The Justice Department's inspector general has sent a criminal referral regarding former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to the US attorney's office in Washington, according to a source familiar with the matter.
A McCabe spokesperson, the Justice Department and US attorney's office all declined to comment.

Appreciate the post but could you summarize it without the acronyns.
The way I read it is that McCabe refused to back away from investigating the Clinton Foundation. I don’t understand why that would be a bad thing except for disobeying orders.
I don’t see anywhere if mentions the elf making the decision.
It says IG referred it directly to US attorney in DC.
Good luck in finding a non biased jury in DC.
Why didn’t Huber take it to Utah?
Just who is the US Attorney for DC?

We may see a positive outcome from this referral.
She was part of the Trump Transition team. And she was once Assistant US Attorney for the National Security Division under GW Bush.
And you think the jury pool in DC will understand this complex
case? U r delusional. I thought Huber was hired to prosecute
in Utah? What’s the deal on that?
Is this a “BOOM”?
Yes, seeing as how there are at least 7 booms a day, this must be one of them.
Let the cover up begin.....
Warning:
Small fries being offered up for (minimal) prosecution. High criminals, not a word of referral.
Waiting for the storm...
That is funny. And so true.
“McCabe told the OIG that on August 12, 2016, he received a telephone call from PADAG regarding the FBI’s handling of the CF Investigation (the “PADAG call”). McCabe said that PADAG expressed concerns about FBI agents taking overt steps in the CF Investigation during the presidential campaign. According to McCabe, he pushed back, asking “are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?” McCabe told us that the conversation was “very dramatic” and he never had a similar confrontation like the PADAG call with a high-level Department official in his entire FBI career.”
The PADAG here is the Justice Department official coordinating with the FBI about the investigation. Note that McCabe is claiming he interpreted the PADAG as ordering him to stand down in his investigation. He claims he refused. The compromise reached was that they had to keep it out of the news. But McCabe, by arguing that the FBI hadn’t shut down the investigation at the DoJ’s orders, confirmed that the investigation was taking place. For doing that, he is being criminally prosecuted.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Deep State wants to get McCabe.
And of course he answers to Rosenstein.
“Small fries being offered up for (minimal) prosecution. High criminals, not a word of referral.”
The is/was the plan all along. A few ‘indictments’ of little fish and then wrap up and cover up this MASSIVE CONSPIRACY of HIGH TREASON.
Looks like the DOJ Watchdog just peed all over McCabe and the DNC… Here’s hoping some splashes on Comey, Lynch, Strzok and Page.
Good crow, or bad crow? Do you think I believe in Sessions abilities? or do not believe in his abilities?
Possible Supreme Court material too.
Yes, I know it's fashionable to hate on McCabe for everything because he apparantly was involved in a cabal to plot a "resistance" thing from with the FBI but his acts here seem to be decent to me. Pressure to end the investigation, he refused (though it was all done with kid gloves anyway). Seeems in this instance he was doing the right thing, frankly.
They’re going after McCabe because McCabe claimed he didn’t back down on the Clinton e-mails when the Department of Justice told him he had to. Don’t forget, the OIG is the Department of Justice.
“McCabe told the [Office of the Inspector General of the Department if Justice] that on August 12, 2016, he received a telephone call from [Lead Department of Justice investigating attorney on the matter] regarding the FBI’s handling of the [Clinton Foundation] Investigation (the “PADAG call”).
