Possibly those he’d have to flip on are too dangerous.

Exactly! This "overthrow-the-government" bench has a deep bench (although it may ultimately be shown to be as clumsy as the Keystone Cops). The South didn't even attempt to overthrow the U.S. government.

Yeah levin doesn’t go for the gossip.
Odd though I’ve been, and am listening since his radio show started tonight and I guess I missed this.

Yeah, I just heard Tom Fitton say yesterday that AG Barr is still protecting Hillary Clinton. Why?, he doesn’t know.

Everybody gets a plea agreement offer. They plead guilty, they get a reduced sentence, it saves time and expense. Guess his sentence wasn’t reduced enough to suit him.

He should think again. After all treason or sedition is a capital offense...

Someone will flip.Joe DiGenova was on the Howie Carr Show (from Boston) today and he said that there are people involved who are facing 20 years.

When offered the choice between 20 years,or 5, by the prosecutor at least one lawyer will tell his client "20 means 18,5 means 3. Take the 3".

Durham is based in Connecticut. I would assume the grand jury his uses would be there, too.

More proof that McCabe ain’t all that smart. Feds are sucessfull at trial by an overwhelming majority.

Greg Craig beat his rap. The coupists won’t plea and count on The Resistance to give them top cover.

Levin’s the one who usually rants about how reference to unidentified “sources” means nothing and should be relied on.

If this is true, then there are two possibilities. Either Durham has doesn’t have shit and he’s trying to stampede McCabe into making a deal, OR Durham has the goods on him and McCabe is holding out for a better deal. I would think the latter.

Lots of folks gonna be roll’n over here in the next few weeks. All of their cable news gigs aren’t gonna save them from the orange jump suit.

Not likely. McCabe will regret his decision. White-collar and ranking law enforcement defendants characteristically have an especially hard time accepting any plea deal because it marks them as a criminal and requires cooperation with the government against their friends and colleagues. They refuse the earliest and best plea deal and get a less attractive deal, or they go to trial and get hammered at sentencing.

As one criminal defense lawyer I knew explained, mobsters are easier to represent than white-collar defendants because mobsters know they are criminals and recognize when a plea deal is worth taking. White-collar defendants and their families resist accepting a good plea deal even when criminal misconduct is clear. My lawyer friend sometimes hired a felon who got a psychology degree in prison to counsel white-collar defense clients and their families about the need to accept a plea deal despite the shame and loss of status involved. Even then, many gambled on their chances at trial.

There are exceptions but they are just that exceptions. The real question is which of these a-holes will get cover and which ones will be left to fend for themselves. To many involved to have them all get off scot free. McCabe is not independently wealthy and cannot afford $1 million in legal fees(according to the net).

Plea-deal probably included a public “leak” he refused to accept a plea-deal.

McCabe: I don’t at this time recall. (Or my name isn’t Hillary)

I on the other hand remember when Mark Levin said 2017-2018 and earlier “No, there isn’t going to be an investigation of the investigators so stop calling about that. Only the Trump side will be prosecuted.”

Levin was bored with callers saying it in unjust to allow the left to persecute Trump and Manfort,Flynn,Papadoupolos and the rest but no one can stop Mueller and his gang.

He merely said there will never be an investigation of Obama,Hillary and Comey and the others setting up a coup against Trump. It was depressing. Then.

Fantastic! Time to bankrupt the SOB much in the way they screwed over Flynn. Make him hire a gaggle of attorneys.

The two “star” plotters are missing. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Yes, they’ll be going down, too.

“Possibly those he’d have to flip on are too dangerous”

That is the most likely reason.

Where would the trial be? There are some jury pools that wouldn’t convict him if he murdered Trump in cold blood.

Military tribunals. They plotted, with other nations, for the overthrow of the United States government. They committed TREASON.
