WASHINGTON Federal prosecutors recommended seeking criminal charges against Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI and a frequent target of criticism by President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the decision Thursday.

Good question. I don’t know.
I just looked that up.
Just today I was thinking I need to see McCabe sell his Porsche to pay his lawyers bills
In other words, don't "recommend" charges...CHARGE HIM!!!
These a**holes are spinning, trying to make it look like Trumps frequent criticisms are behind this.

Exactly why the good guys are waiting for the unassailable case against the highest possible perp with the least ability to be defended.
This is the Deep State’s last stand, IMO. “It’s political bullying.”
The DOJ is doing it right now. The US Attorney is going to the DC grand jury for an indictment. The IG report lays out a powerful case for a multi-count indictment for perjury and false statements. This is the way the constitutionally required system works. The turd has just been flushed into the septic system and is being processed.
In a recent poll , 57% of government workers are in favor of prosecuting Andrew McCabe
“This charge DOES NOT signify that the DOJ is prosecuting crimes by the Deep State against Trump.”
True, but it means the process has started. All along I viewed whether McCabe was prosecuted on these IG charges as a litmus test of whether Barr was operating in good faith or not. He’s just passed that test, so it’s time to give him the benefit of the doubt, sit back, and wait and see.
What’s about this is he could be indicted for taking an action of which many people here probably approve.
The Journal’s account of the call said a senior Justice Department official expressed displeasure to McCabe that FBI agents were still looking into the Clinton Foundation, and that McCabe had defended the agent’s authority to pursue the issue.
That leak confirmed the existence of the probe, the report said, which Comey had up to that point refused to do.
So he has to be indicted...and that would be in a Washington DC Court. Now there’s a clue for you.
IIRC, he was fired one day before he could get full pension benefits.
Read the IG report and referral. He’s probably (we’ll need to wait to see the indictment to be sure) being indicted for lying under oath and making false statements, not the unauthorized leaking. False statements and perjury are real devils and he’s well into the DOJ’s septic system now, as the turd du jour.
The Clintons and the Obamas have so much dirt on the Trumps that nothing will happen. McCabe is as high as it’s going.
True, but he still has to go through the process and spend several million dollars to beat the rap. With a Federal indictment, the process is much of the punishment.
Notice the key word recommended.
That means nothing.
Sure, the "Rule of law " is going to show up any minute now.. :(
“But nothings happening folks...”
Oh, something is happening. McCabe may get prosecuted for hurting Hillary.
How exciting.
“anonymous sources” = bupkus
But as of right now, we are still in the same place. Nothing has actually happened.
Thanks for that information.
