My belief that McCabe would skate with a D.C. jury has nothing to do with race.
It’s the fact that D.C. is a company town. Everybody’s livelihood depends on the Swamp continuing to thrive and employ them all in overpaid Federal jobs with money they’ve stolen from the rest of us.
It’s simple economics.

Dead on accurate comment. Everyone is DC is bellying up to the trough of money that is made possible by the influx of a never ending stream of tax dollars. That’s what DC (the District of Corruption) is all about.
Bribery is a powerful thing, and DC is a one-stop-shop for anyone looking for someone to bribe.
People think it’s the legitimate seat of government - really it’s just a bunch of people looking to get bribed, and a bunch more looking for someone to bribe.
Just head to K street... You got your law firms to guide the process of red tape through the bureaucracy so you won’t do anything illegal. You got your bankers so the money can be untraceable. You got your fancy hotels, restaurants and high end prostitutes to wine and dine. You got your PR consultants and press whores to sell it to the public. You got your convention centers to put on corporate dog and pony shows.
And last but not least, you got your for-sale legislators lined up at the feeding trough, ready and willing to vote whatever you want into law if the price is right.
Federal employees are convicted all the time in DC courts. I worked for the federal government for 36 years based out of the DC metro area. My experience doesn’t comport with your view of reality. FWIW Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch agrees with me. The Swamp is using this as an excuse not to prosecute Comey, McCabe, Clapper, Brennan, et. al.
