WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors in Washington appear to be in the final stages of deciding whether to indict Andrew G.

In two meetings last week, Mr. McCabe’s lawyers met with the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen, who is expected to be involved in the decision about whether to prosecute, and for more than an hour with the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, Jessie K. Liu, according to a person familiar with the meetings. The person would not detail the discussions, but defense lawyers typically meet with top law enforcement officials to try to persuade them not to indict their client if they failed to get line prosecutors to drop the case.

Who here would lay money on this evil thing being convicted of anything? A show of hands.

Oh, he maybe indicted but he is safe with the Rat anti-Trump controlled courts.

There is not enough evidence to indict him. They can’t establish he intended to break he law. So they will decide not to prosecute.

Ever notice that when people on the right are suspected, indictments fly like confetti? With the left, they have to go through a million contortions before legal action is taken.

If you or I had done what he has, would they still be deciding?

Only on whether you get 20 or 30 years and in which prison you will do your time.

In my case it would be life at the maximum security slammer in Colorado.

There is a reason that no high level player has been indicted. Is Vegas giving odds?
