Breaking Down the Report of an Imminent McCabe Indictment
National Review ^ | September 12, 2019 | ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Posted on 09/12/2019 7:29:30 PM PDT by KTM rider

McCabe has indicated that, if charged, he would claim the Justice Department was under pressure from the White House. Federal prosecutors in Washington have recommended that criminal charges be filed against Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s former deputy director, and the Justice Department has rejected a last-ditch appeal by McCabe’s lawyers, according to a report on Thursday by Fox News. This clears the way for what appears to be McCabe’s imminent indictment.

Yeah, sure. He would get the Jeffrey Epstein suicide watch special. Too bad the government can’t buy security cameras that actually work.

Oh, puh-leeeze. McCabe won’t be indicted. None of “them” will be indicted.

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. Grand Jury is now in session. US vs. McCabe is the case before you now. Mr. McCabe will now testify.

McCabe: But...

Prosecutor: He’s lying again!

McCabe: If...

Prosecutor: Liar!

McCabe: And the....

Prosecutor: Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!

McCabe: Ouch! Ouch! How did you do that?

Prosecutor: Put the indictment in the “out” hopper. Next case is US vs. Ham Sandwich. Let’s get to it.

You could well be right. Barr could wriggle out of this by sending the case to a DC grand jury which would no bill the referral and that would be the end of it other than McCabe would be given a gold star by jury menmbers if they would ever talk.

“Barr could wriggle out of this by sending the case to a DC grand jury...”

I heard that if it goes to grand jury it will, most likely, be in super-lib DC. What’s the point, even? Why waste the time?

From Jon Wilford:

 The WHOLE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT! They ALL work in tandem to insulate and protect themselves from “we the peasants”. If any of the coup traitors are prosecuted, it will be done before corrupt obama/clinton judges and the perp traitors will get a wrist slap…

There will be no 4:00 AM SMASHING DOWN of their door by swat teams, no “unknown” (surprise) search warrants, no CNN filming them in their underwear, no solitary confinement, no bankruptcy… They’ll get a movie deal!"

Indictment sounds nice but means nothing anymore unless you’re a common citizen.

For government officials or ex-government officials it’ll end up being a slap on the wrist that’s been protected from injury.

They need simple majority to indict. If gov atty pushes it he gets indicted. Conviction requires all andnot possible for a dem in DC. UNFORTUNATE one has to be charged where crime was committed.

“McCabe has indicated that, if charged, he would claim the Justice Department was under pressure from the White House.”

Yeah, but he lied to federal authorities. So why should he be believed after saying this?

to indict Comey and Brennan and all the way up to Obama with treason

Except for the fact that none of them are guilty of that, it's a great idea.

My friends and I had a little more fun. Instead of puny little squirt guns, we brought a SuperSoaker and Flex shampoo bottle water shooters.

I dressed up as a Rocky Horror Virgin for Halloween back then and won a nice prize for second place.

Yes, the movie sucked, Dr. Scott.

Disney owns the show now, so make of that what you will.

The Fox report indicates that Liu signaled to McCabe’s lawyers that she was persuaded to file charges. McCabe’s lawyers then appealed that decision to Jeffrey Rosen, the deputy attorney general (DAG).

How many criminals get the benefit of an appeal before charges are even filed?

Different rules for different “statuses”...

This sedition and conspiracy goes all the way to the top of three governments; the USA, UK and Australia. Wake up.
