A defiant Andrew McCabe said Tuesday he will not “under any circumstances” accept a plea deal if indicted for lying about leaks to the press.
Federal prosecutors in Virginia are pushing for charges against McCabe, a former FBI deputy director, for allegedly making false statements to the FBI and Justice Department’s office of the inspector general (OIG) regarding his authorization of a leak to the media in October 2016.
“Will you take a deal in order to go on with the rest of your life if there is no big criminal attachment — you don’t have to do any time or anything like that?” CNN’s Chris Cuomo asked McCabe in an interview.
“Absolutely not, under any circumstances,” said McCabe, who joined CNN as an analyst Aug. 23.
“No deal?” Cuomo asked.
“Absolutely not, under any circumstances,” McCabe repeated.
“I have said to you, I said from the very beginning, I absolutely reject that report because I never intentionally misled anyone about anything, and I will not stand up and claim that I’ve done something that I didn’t do.” (RELATED: CNN Hires Andrew McCabe)
“So it won’t happen.”

no deals will be offered.
So.... he’s saying that he got offered a deal and he’s considering it ?
Virtue signaling, “Hey, I don’t want to end up like Epstein!”
Never believe a proven LIAR.
I never intentionally misled = Plays with Loophole
He is betting that no DC jury will unanimously convict him. He might be right.
After making my comment and then reading yours, I have to say I agree with you. The only reason that this ‘interview’ of a co-host on CNN occurred was because he hasn’t been offered any deals.

He’s already been assured there will be no conviction, if he’s even indicted.
There will be other charges beyond the initial ones. This is false bravado intended to shape the MSM narrative. McCabe lied three times under oath and four times total per the IG report.
McCabe has contradicted both Comey and Rosenstein in several instances. Also, has he lied to Congress as did Comey, Strzok, Page, et. al.?
As if saying he won’t deal will keep the Clintons and Obamas from having him killed?
Andrew is a bully trying to talk bully tough. Like all bullies, they are really cowards once they face real pushback.
Excellent. Now bleed him white.
L
He has no fear of going to trial. A D.C. jury will never convict him.
Now get a change of venue to, say, Wichita, Kansas and he’ll likely start changing his tune.
Yep.
But let a Republican step on dog doo 20 years ago....
McCabe KNOWS the DC area cannot impanel a jury that will convict and enemy of Trump under any circumstances.
Fine. Let him rot in prison...
So Cuomo is negotiating with him on-air?
Interesting.
