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.”

He thinks he is protected...
I hope his life insurance is paid up. Who knows what could happen when you have dirt on the Clinton’s, and the cameras conveniently stop working.

This is a sidebar distraction being orchestrated by the Deep State DOJ. Not coup related at all.

Actually, he knows he’s not protected. The Deep State needs a distraction from the coup and McCabe won that prize. He’s accused of leaking during the Obama admin. This has literally nothing to do with the coup.

He’s already been paid to keep his mouth shut. He doesn’t dare take a plea deal now. Epstein serves as a handy reminder.
