McCabe's goose is cooked. He is in big, BIG trouble:
The only person who should be more worried than staffers and journalists by the Wolfe charges is McCabe. He is already embroiled as the subject of a referral by the Justice Department inspector general for possible criminal prosecution. This referral by career Justice Department officials is based on their finding that McCabe knowingly lied to investigators about leaking information to the media. It was bad enough for McCabe that he was involved in the investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who was charged with the same violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001 for lying to investigators. Now, Wolfe is charged under the same provision for a leak to the media. For McCabe not to be charged would lead to a torrent of criticism over the failure of the Justice Department to apply the same standards to its own lawyers.
If he is not now cooperating with authorities, he better start. He may be faced with spending many years in a Federal prison. As a former Deputy Director of the FBI, his life (even at a minimum security prison) will not be pleasant.
With the false statement situation...I don’t see how he avoids a court visit. If you made just one single statement and it was just one single line that a fraud...you might skate through the court business. In his case, you could be talking about a year in prison as a minimum. And this will trigger people to go and review other statements that he made....looking for other false stories. It just gets you deeper into a mess.
the Justice Department has been actively pursuing leaks out of Congress. Given the lack of prior action, members and staffers may have become emboldened over time, but it now appears the Trump administration has been quietly tracking down the source of some news articles.
...for a LONG time.
Got to suck to be McCabe. At least Wolfe got 3 years of very young tail out of it. I’m not sure McCabe got anything.
I believe Sessions is diligently, and methodically, putting the pieces into place to take these people down.
I am not sure if the FBI (in its present form) can survive this scandal.
The highest ranks of the FBI help lead an attempted coup d'etat against a duly elected President of the United States, and they may have even plotted to harm him and to harm members of his family.
McCabe lost his job and my advice for his 401k is “rollover”....
She is 26 now, which means she was only 23 or 24 when she starting prostituting herself for leaks of classified information.
Im not sure McCabe got anything.
His wife Jill got $640,000 from the Democrats.
Imagine that.
I wonder if the NY Slimes paid for her lingerie and condoms.
As for James Wolfe, he is a traitorous scumbag.
I vote for 30 years, in at least a medium security Federal prison.
Despite media accounts, McCabe did not lose his pension. A portion of his pension may be less, but he still has it.
He may have bigger problems than leaks and lies.
——the Justice Department has been actively-——
Hmmm.....How can that be? The truth is that FReeper Sessions bashers are just wrong and always have been.
There is going to be a whole loaf of toast after this incident, the first to squeal will be saved from hard time
Atlas shrugged, Sessions yawned.
Not sure I want to know what he got from Herself or from Zero. Ew.
LOL. McCabe’s head looks shopped in that picture.
...come to think of it, his head looks shopped in every picture of him.
But COMEY ALSO LEAKED to his Friend, the Professor, to leak it to the NEW YORK TIMES....Their FAVORITE MOUTHPIECE! WHY ISN”T COMEY ARRESTED?
That alone should get him 25 years.
Creepy how much Wolfe’s “journalist” looks like McCabes’s daughter in that picture.
Even younger...some sources are saying that she began ‘her work’ in 2013, which means at 21 years old.
It sure didn’t take her long to learn how to ‘work a source’ in DC.
“Despite media accounts, McCabe did not lose his pension. A portion of his pension may be less, but he still has it.”
My understanding is that he lost about 1/3 of what it would have been if he was able to retire a week later. I believe he also lost retirement medical coverage, since he didn’t actually retire.
“Creepy how much Wolfes journalist looks like McCabess daughter in that picture.”
Agree, I wouldn’t put anything past that DC bunch.
