Federal prosecutors have declined to charge former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, closing an investigation into whether he lied to federal officials about his involvement in a news media disclosure, McCabe’s legal team said Friday.
The decision resolves a criminal investigation that spanned more than a year and began with a referral from the Justice Department’s inspector general, which said McCabe repeatedly lied about having authorized a subordinate to share information with a newspaper reporter for a 2016 article about an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
McCabe’s lawyers said in a statement they were told in a phone call and letter that the case is closed and “no charges will be brought against him based on the facts.”
McCabe, a frequent target of attacks from President Donald Trump, has denied that he intentionally misled anyone. He has said his 2018 firing — for what the Justice Department called “lack of candor” — was politically motivated. He sued the Justice Department in August, saying officials had used the inspector general’s conclusions as a pretext to rid the FBI of leaders Trump perceived as biased against him.
In a letter on Friday, prosecutors told McCabe’s lawyers that they decided “not to pursue criminal charges against your client” after careful consideration.
“Based on the totality of the circumstances and all of the information known to the government at this time, we consider the matter closed,” said the letter, signed by the chief of the U.S. attorney’s office’s public corruption unit.
The decision was revealed at the week of startling tensions between Trump and the Justice Department over the treatment of one of the Republican president’s longtime allies and confidants, Roger Stone.

One wonders how long this nation lasts now that it’s clear the Left and the ruling class agree that there should be no law and order.
When the criminals are beyond the law, those who support the law will be the only ones left to address.
Well, if they can’t get McCabe, then they can’t get anybody. I thought it was McCabe that was the lowest hanging fruit of all the conspirators.
Comey was already let off the hook months ago, and now McCabe. So, there you go. The other players will never face justice.
Thank you.
This entire week has been a setup to let McCabe off and blame it on tweets by the POTUS.
When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821
AG William Barr, CIA Asset and Deep State Impresario
September 10, 2019/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse /by Kelleigh Nelson
“While the many patriots who supported the election of Donald Trump have suffered immeasurably, those who colluded to destroy Trump’s chances of winning and then to frame him with the false Russia narrative, are still running free, writing books and being promoted on mainstream media. And many of them are still in the AG’s office influencing his actions.”
Diana West, author of American Betrayal and The Red Thread stated that when President Trump chose William Barr for his AG, her heart sank, and for good reason.
Conclusion
In a previous article I asked who vets the nominees for President Trump’s administration? Apparently, no one vets the administration candidates thoroughly. They use social media to see what the candidate has said about Trump. Of course, the FBI should investigate every candidate, but the FBI is not trustworthy.
Stay tuned, there’s much more to come on AG Barr.

No crying in politics. GET UP EVERY MORNING AND FIGHT. Instead of paying a car loan, stay home from work for 2 extra days of militia training, volunteer to go door to door for a candidate or 10. Liberty is not a gift, it is a legacy. It is a classic beauty of a car that needs an oil change and daily polish. You cannot pay anyone to detail it, the work must be accomplished by YOU....and ME.
Yep. Deepfat Barr needed cover to do his dirty deeds.
Conclusion: There are other fish easier to fry
The letter states specifically that McCabe will not be prosecuted for the items referred by the IG, i.e., the lack of candor on leaking. This does not mean that McCabe can’t be charged with other crimes. Maybe McCabe is singing.
I just have no more faith in me.
Over the last 25 years they have crushed every hope I’ve had for turning this nation around.
Trump can’t do it alone, and he is the only one on our side it appears.
He did both. Oh and he apologized. However McCabe’s lawyers said this as his defense:
McCabe’s lawyer has said his story changed because in the first interview he wasn’t prepared for the question, and that he was soon distracted by President Trump’s firing of FBI chief James Comey, whom McCabe replaced as acting director.
‘
And the Southern District of NY will indict Guiliani, you watch.

The Government does not silently turn someone. They do it publicly after a perp walk, and a few days of bank draining costs.
You are kidding yourself if you THINK this will ever be drained this government has become a BEAST that will NEVER be corrected NEVER!! We will very soon be Venezuela I am very happy that I don’t have children and won’t be around to see this happen HOWEVER we are just a generation away and this republic will no longer exist the way we know it!!! HELL it doesn’t exist NOW the way we once knew it!!!
The only way for trump to drain the swamp would be to go to kings bay. Take personal command of a boomer and launch on DC every D5 it has. Seriously that place is a fetid cesspool of back slapping bums taking a good deal of the country for a ride. Crooks skeemers psychopaths and just plain loathsome creatures. It was not designed to be this way but someone surely lost the design specs.
Hillary lied too because she unwilling er unprepared to answer certain questions and was more forthright when Gowdy named the names she claims to have forgotten

I agree, and while he's at it how about a full pardon - TODAY - of Stone, Flynn, Manafort, and anyone else who was sucked into this little drama.
Screw Barr. He can quit if he doesn't like it.
