WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors in Washington appear to be in the final stages of deciding whether to indict Andrew G. McCabe, the former deputy F.B.I. director and a frequent target of President Trump, on charges of lying to federal agents, according to interviews with people familiar with recent developments in the investigation.
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.

It'll tear the country apart of one more liberal gets a damn pass... when they're guilty.
Lying under oath? Is Martha Stewart’s cell available?
So you’re saying they can’t prove that he intended to lie?
Seems to me that if someone lies, they intended to.
Let’s you and me try to think of some examples of “accidental” lies.
Nope. We would already be in jail.
McCabe must be indicted, regardless of the outcome
of a trial in DC.
INDICT THEM ALL..from Obama who ordered it all down the line
A Swiss Glacier moves faster than this ‘investigation’.
Don’t make up fake news = “People familiar with recent developments in the investigation” is not the DOJ. The NYT is relying on info from McCabes lawyers who are not about to come out and say “We just met with the DOJ about the indictment of our client”.
It’s the defense lawyers and the NYT who are framing the meeting this way.
watch out for Jessie Liu . . .
Another “bombshell” without any powder? Not holding my breath, too many duds.
I’m sure you can indict a ham sandwich in DC.
I’m not sure you can indict someone in DC who tried to take Trump down.
I hope they give him the Manafort treatment. Stzrok is also about to be indicted. So who from the Obama administration will get a pre-dawn raid filmed by Fox News?

There’s no interest in McCabe.
Except to quickly clear his Books for Publication.
Who is dumb enough to believe they sat on this since 2016, and are now going to move on him?
The timeline tells us, his boldness tells us, the Get out of Jail Free for all his conspirators tells us. The lack of urgency...
Doesn’t matter who frames it, he’ll skate too.
Pffft! Don’t hold your breath!! Is the *itch from hell still walking the streets and making merry??! Point made!
No sorry, I was being sarcastic. I was just stating the absurd reasons the justice dept will give to not prosecute.
Very interesting.
Oops!
I missed the sarcasm.
I’m sorry.
Any reasonable prosecutor from a reputable liberal University would approve of and assist a coup attempt against Trump. When they mentioned a grand jury in DC I stopped reading.
...An indictment of a former top F.B.I. official is extremely rare...
Just as rare as one like him being involved in an attempted Coup d’ Etat?
Why not????!!!!
How many Trump acquaintances did they prosecute for “lying” to the FBI?
