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.

He’s going to be a witness. We are going to see a few more of these before the show begins. I trust Trump and believe right now the table is being set for Dunham and the trigger will be us taking back Congress. Then they will turn Nunes loose.
these people are like the police, and all of overnment they are not out to protect and defend us, they are out to protect their own kind. Durham FISA case will go nowhere its another show trial
Justice served. Now let’s make sure Stone dies in jail./s
No question, we are up against some very destructive and dangerous criminal activity.
Let’s see what happens to the Bidens.
Don't worry Sen. Linda Gramnesty is going to get right on it! /sarc
You give me hope...NOT!
d":^)
I don’t know. Wish someone else had chimed in.
We have lost our republic and NO amount of elections will fix what is broke.
I hope Barr had given thought as to what he will be doing after government service.
“Barr cried to ABC News yesterday, and “bravely” stated that no one would “intimidate” him from “doing my job.””
He’s doing his job, the job of Deep State Swamp Creature protecting democrat crimes and corruption.
See: Mena Airport meeting with billy boy cokenose clinton. The Reagan unravelling GHWBush one term presidency of a former ceeee eye ehhhh director and so called “china hand” (what a freaking joke— like GHWB was really a “Taipan! hah).
Please clap “Jeb”. Is there nobody who can be found who is not “owned” by this cabal?
McCabe is a GD CRIMINAL! This is a small part of the bad cop’s actions. Or... the trashing of Barr is an essential part of the deconstruction of Trump by the elite powers that be that are trying to take him down. We should be hearing from Giuliani on Ukraine... and have. But press is suppressing all of it.
Thanks all for keeping a sharp eye on Barr. It may be that as he gets closer to “indictments” (and he’s not a young man) he gets cold feet. Remember- Trump gave him security clearance in re: FISA. If that is left intact then we know it is all just.... jive.

Replace that scumbag’s name with Mine, Yours or even
My old Dog named Stomach Sad Sack.
Now how fast would any of US LAST before We were tossed into a ddep dark pit...
>>So this means the special investigator Durham has no meaning whatsoever?<<
I will go along with the notion that this is a separate case than the one Durham is investigating. I will wait to see the results of his investigation...but I’m getting pretty cynical
regarding this government.
It is corrupt...no doubt, but I’m still holding hope this will all turn around...we will see.
we’re screwed
I wonder what kind of dirt the commie and Nazi lefties found on Barr. Must be something pretty serious. They flipped him in a New Yawk minute.
