CNN Analyst Crushes McCabe: No Different from Others Prosecuted for Lying

Let's hope Elie Honig isn't exiled to the CNN equivalent of Siberia. Because on New Day this morning, Honig, a CNN legal analyst, lit into Andrew McCabe for lying to federal investigators, suggesting he should be given the same treatment as others prosecuted for doing the same.

Highlights:

"Whenever we hear something from McCabe, we have to keep in mind he has a serious credibility problem."
"He lied three times in three separate interviewsabout whether he was a leak, or authorized theleak on the Hillary Clinton case."
"Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, were all prosecuted for making false statements to federal investigators. I don't see why McCabe's case is really any different than those."

How did CNN let this guy on the air to spout the truth? Let’s hope CNN doesn’t banish him to its equivalent of Siberia.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

McCabe didn’t intend to lie so he is ok. /sheldon

[JoSixChip]

They will not prosecute mccabe. That is the whole reason for the interviews he has been doing, making it clear he has the goods and is not afraid to release them. Like mccabe has already said, if he goes down, he is taking everyone with him.

[Rennes Templar]

Maybe CNN is starting to see the handwriting on the wall and they don’t want to be left out in the cold.

Perhaps, but I think it’s more likely Honig will be left out in the cold by CNN!

NPR reports the McCabe Grand Jury is in DC.

UGH

I don't see why McCabe's case is really any different than those."

Hey dummy! It's different because he's on Obama's "team".

[Political Junkie Too]

They can't go after McCabe because the purpose would be to exert pressure to testify against someone else, and those people must be protected at all costs.

One of those costs is is letting McCabe go. He's the first domino.

Could this be a new day dawning at CNN?

Scary, I’ve noticed these blips of sanity.

If McCabe goes down, we will be interviewing Davey Jones.

These DC ( Democrat Clowns ) types are excellent liars. They say the most absurd thing which such certainty, the average person is convicted. Plus, they never get interrogated, only tossed softball open ended questions and then are allowed to pontificate until the next commercial break.

Until somebody other than a Trump confident gets raided in the early a.m. by armed FBI agents and is jailed, I’m not much interested in the theatrics. I try to be — I really do — but because those on the Left are most often not held to account — it all seems so fake and useless.

[qaz123]

I’m thinking he’s a dead man, walking. No way he’s taking anyone down.

[Political Junkie Too]

If so, I'm afraid that he's not the kind of target one can just knock off. He's too high profile that it would raise a lot of suspicions and trigger investigations.

I'd think that if he's going to be taken out, the Deep State would rationalize the collateral damage of taking out an entire jetliner in which McCabe is a passenger, just to avoid suspicion.

I wouldn’t put it past them, whoever they are.

How did CNN let this guy on the air to spout the truth?

Read the guy's quote.

"He lied three times in three separate interviewsabout whether he was a leak, or authorized theleak on the Hillary Clinton case."

McCabe's leak hurt both Hillary and Obama.

[EDINVA]

He would more likely disappear then ever be allowed to bring everybody else down with him
